Neoclassical Architecture in Baden-Baden


Private House

Baden-Baden is the spa town located on the edge of the Black Forest in south-west Germany close to the border with France. Whilst settlement in Baden-Baden dates back to Roman times its thermal baths led to its development as a world renowned resort during the 19th century.

Pathway along the Oos River

The setting is superb. Nature flaunts its unrivalled beauty. The densely vegetated hills and ridges of the Black Forest form the town's backdrop.

Lichtentaler Allee (Park)

Over the centuries the Lichtentaler Allee along the River Oos has been developed as an English garden.

Decorated bridges crossing the River Oos provide entry to the hotels and mansions that line its banks.

The state government formed in 1806 supported development in Baden-Baden. The state's railway reached the town in 1845 with the town's prominence reaching its peak in the 1850's and 60's. Fortunately Baden-Baden escaped damage as a result of both World Wars. Consequently, many great examples of Neoclassical (mid 1700's-early 1900's) architecture built during the Wilhelm period remain today.

Palais Biron circa. 1859

Neoclassical architecture derives its form from the principles of Greek and Roman architecture of classical antiquity. These include:

* clean elegant lines;

* uncluttered appearance;

* free standing columns;

* no domes or towers; and

* a roof that is usually flat and horizontal and visible from the ground.
