It is situated in the northern Black Forest, 11 kilometres (7 miles) southeast of Karlsruhe.

Waldbronn is located at the border of the Alb-Pfinz-Plateau in the valley of the river Alb.

Waldbronn was founded in 1972 as a result of a municipal restructuring, when the communities Busenbach and Reichenbach merged.

In January 1994 Waldbronn was awarded the official status of "Ort mit Heilquellen-Kurbetrieb", indicating the medicinal benefits of its hot wells.
