Baden-Baden - balneological and climatic resort , one of the most famous in the world, is located in a basin and is surrounded on all sides by low mountains covered with coniferous forest. Mountain forest air, the Os River flowing down the slopes of the Black Forest create the unique climate that this amazing resort town is famous for.
Baden-Baden arose thanks to its healing springs, which were known to the ancient Romans. It was they who 2000 years ago founded the settlement of Aqua Aurelia here, where legionnaires and colonists were treated. Under the emperor Caracalla in the 3rd century BC, luxurious baths were built here, named after him. The ruins of these baths are open to the public and lovers of antiquity can enjoy visiting this historical place.
Everything is unique in Baden-Baden - its history, architecture, healing springs, casino and even the name. Until the 1930s the city was simply called Baden, but in life it was often called Baden in Baden, referring to its location in the federal state of Baden - this is how the double name appeared.
There are also interesting moments in the history of the city. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the settlement of Aqua Aurelia was abandoned, gradually turned into ruins and was revived only in 1112 as the residence of the Margraves of Baden. In the 17th century, Baden-Baden was badly damaged, but revived again thanks to French refugees who fled here from the French Revolution.
And in the second half of the 18th century, Baden-Baden began to be called the summer capital of Europe. And all thanks to the casino manager Jacques Benazet. In 1824, the German architect Friedrich Weinbrenner built the Kurhaus, which is now the site of Germany's oldest and world-famous casino. To "promote" his institution, Jacques Benazet invited a group of the most famous journalists and writers of the time, including Victor Hugo. Of the many enthusiastic phrases spoken by famous guests, one is still alive: "There are two capitals in Europe. Paris in winter, Baden-Baden in summer."
At the request of the founder of the casino, Jacques Benazier, French architects and artists designed gambling halls on the model of French royal castles. The splendid Louis XVI style decoration of white marble, gold and silk has been perfectly preserved to this day and impresses with its mysterious atmosphere. There are huge paintings on the walls, high ceilings are decorated with painted plafonds. The halls are brightly lit with multi-tiered bronze chandeliers.
Financial documents from that period report that revenues from gambling establishments were directed to the city baths development fund. Significant sums from the casino were received by the city budget, with this money in early XIX century was built Railway and a gas factory to gaslight the city and casino.
The history of the city is closely connected with Russia. Without this fashionable kurot, it is impossible to imagine the life of the Russian bohemians of the 19th century. Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev visited Baden-Baden, Gogol worked here on the first volume of Dead Souls, he published the story Taras Bulba in the newspaper Europe. Russian nobles bought mansions here and traveled here every year as a dacha. The guides show the villas of Gagarin, Menshikov, the tree near which Dostoevsky's "player" shot himself. The poets Zhukovsky and Vyazemsky ended their life here...
Baden-Baden attracts tourists from all over the world with its unique thermal baths. (German Friedrichsbad) were built on the site of Roman baths in 1867-77. and are named after Duke Friedrich. These are Roman-Irish baths, in which, according to the method of the Irish doctor Barter, they combined Roman and Irish bath traditions.
There are unique pools lined with Carrara marble and the Round Hall (17.5 m high), modeled after a Roman thermal bath and decorated with sculptures and frescoes. It is called the temple of bathing, and these are not just baths that work wonders, everything here is conducive to complete relaxation, even contemplation of the frescoes brings pleasure and promotes healing.
The bathing ritual here is divided into 17 stages: shower, warm air, hot air, shower, massage, shower, steam, hot steam, full bath, jacuzzi, exercise bath, shower, cold baths. As a result of temperature changes and thanks to the healing thermal waters in the various baths, a regenerating effect on the body and soul takes place.
If the Friedrichsbad thermal complex has long been part of the rich history of Baden-Baden, then the complex located two minutes walk from it - The building is modern.
Named after the famous Roman emperor, it is a two-level gated complex and a large open area for swimming. All this is spread over the territory natural park on total area three thousand square meters. Here you can walk along the paths, looking at numerous sculptures, fountains, monuments, as well as sunbathe under the gentle Baden sun.
The Baths of Caracalla are many times larger than neighboring Friedrichsbad. The mass of all kinds of pools, whirlpools, jacuzzis, waterfalls, not to mention numerous saunas, is simply impossible to count. These are indoor pools with hydromassages, and pools with showers for massaging the upper back and neck, and underwater jets massaging the lower back and legs, and water fungus, and special equipped “beds” in the Jacuzzi, and seats where you can massage your legs, and ... which is just not there.
All swimming pools different temperatures and different concentrations of minerals. There are also grottoes with hot and cold water, and an aromatic 43-degree steam bath, and a salt "cave" for taking appropriate inhalations, and a solarium, and a relaxation area. And, of course, a cafe where you can have a bite to eat. And under open sky- two huge pools plus a canal with a fast water current. There are also two whirlpools, and a waterfall, and a water fungus, and sunbeds for sunbathing. By the way, you can smoke outdoors - there are tables with ashtrays everywhere.
Unlike Friedrichsbad, it is customary to swim in the indoor and outdoor pools of Caracalla Terme in bathing suits. They can also be in the saunas located on the ground floor. But the second floor is a completely landscape zone: entering it, swimsuits and swimming trunks will have to be left on equipped hangers - or put in small open boxes that rise like racks along the walls of the so-called reception area. The sauna complex also has indoor and outdoor areas.
Note! In the Baths of Caracalla there is a corner "Children's Paradise", where adults can leave their child under supervision while they take water procedures, take a steam bath in saunas or tidy up your face and body with the help of various types of massages.
Baden-Baden is small, but has so many attractions. It is called the city of roses and not by chance. The Göneranlage rose garden on Mount Beutig was founded 29 years ago and is considered one of the youngest in Europe. Despite this, the World Federation of Rose Societies awarded the title "Garden of Excellence" (Award of Garden Excellence). The park is open from early June to late September. In the evening at 9 o'clock the lights turn on and the whole park is immersed in a romantic atmosphere.
The rose garden has about 400 varieties of roses. Numerous sculptures of the park and the fountain located in the center invite you to wander along the paths and dream among this fragrant realm of flowers. The main architectural idea of the garden is the four seasons. The layout uses two main alleys intersecting at right angles and dividing the entire rose garden into four zones. At the ends of the alleys there are statues of Greek goddesses, symbolizing spring, autumn, winter and summer.
Lichtental Alley(German Lichtentaler Allee) is another attraction of Baden-Baden, located along the Oos River. Initially, an oak grove grew on its banks, but in 1850, Jacques Benazet, who bought a casino here, remade the surroundings into an English park. Now it presents more than 300 species of trees and plants, fountains, sculptures and gazebos, and charming bridges are pleasing to the eye.
Kings, tsars, poets and composers walked under the chestnut trees of Lichtentaler Alley: Johann Strauss conducted his waltzes before King Wilhelm I, Liszt, Rossini, Brahms were distinguished guests here, Enrico Caruso gave his concerts, Clara Schumann spent her last years here. Walking along the alley, you will meet on your way the beautiful Josephine fountain, as well as monuments to the Russian writer Ivan Turgenev and the German composer Johann Brahms.
Not far from the Lichtental Alley is the Drinking Pavilion. Built by the architect Friedrich Hubsch in the middle of the 19th century. The building is a colonnade of 16 columns about 90 meters long with frescoes painted on it. Each fresco tells about one of the legends of Baden-Baden. But the highlight of this pavilion, of course, is tasty and healthy drinking water. In the pavilion there is an adit with mineral water from two valuable sources of Baden-Baden. Hot water flows from them, the temperature is about 70 degrees. It tastes a little salty, but there is a rumor all over the world about its many medicinal properties. Missing this opportunity is simply unforgivable.
And today this glorious resort town lives a busy life. cultural life, various holidays, festivals, competitions are held here. At the end of the 20th century, the Festspielhaus (German: Festspielhaus) Palace of Festivals was created for 2,500 seats. It is rightfully considered one of the most unique halls in the world, where the best artists and musicians perform today.
The author of the project of the Palais des Festivals was the famous Viennese architect Wilhelm Holzbauer. The courage of the decision was in the transformation of the former railway station in the ensemble of theater buildings. The neoclassical station building turned into a theater foyer, the station platforms turned into an auditorium built of glass and marble in the shape of a huge cube, which is located behind the former station building. The Festspielhaus is famous for its excellent acoustics, which were calculated by the famous Munich physicist Karlheinz Müller. Russian ball. To the solemn sounds of Tchaikovsky's polonaise, young Russian women in white dresses and their gentlemen, German youths in black tailcoats, entered the hall. The opening ceremony of the Ball was attended by the prima ballerina of the Bolshoi Theater S. Lunkina, who brilliantly performed "Russian Dance".
The ball lasted all night. The guests danced waltzes and gallops to music performed by the Baden-Baden Symphony Orchestra under the baton of People's Artist of Russia Maxim Fedotov. And then a jazz orchestra led by the legendary Georgy Garanyan opened a parade of foxtrots, cha-cha-cha, rumba and other modern dances. The dance program of the Ball was led by the head of the "Imperial Russian Ballet" Gediminas Taranda.
In October 2007, the revived Russian Ball was held for the second time in the casino in the Benazé hall, which was attended by representatives of the Russian elite. The program included performances by stars of the Mariinsky Theatre, young performers, a performance by the Baden-Baden Symphony Orchestra and, of course, dancing.
Baden-Baden is without a doubt the quietest and most green city Germany. The surprisingly fresh and clean air of this resort is guarded even by a tunnel specially laid under the city for road transport. Baden-Baden has everything - an excellent climate and unique thermal baths, a park and a rose garden, the Os River and low mountains surrounding the city, a theater and a Festspielhaus, casinos and horse races, festivals and concerts. It is not surprising that hundreds of thousands of tourists visit this city, there are always many guests from Russia, and you will meet Russian-speaking employees in the baths and hotels, shops and information center. There is always a gentle sun, friendly residents and all the conditions for relaxing with children who enjoy splashing in the pools and playing in the parks.
