History & architecture

Kurhaus Baden-Baden has attracted day-trippers, spa and congress guests, revellers, gamblers and sociable locals since back in the 18th century.

The promenade house

The history of Baden-Baden's Kurhaus dates back to 1766, when it was built for the margrave and for spa guests.

The conversation house

Friedrich Weinbrenner designed and constructed the conversation house fronted by the striking columns which are still in existence today.

An illustrious era

New halls were added to extend the conversation house, offering a suitable setting for many international, illustrious guests.

Extension and world wars

Besides various extensions to the premises, the first half of the 20th century was a turbulent period for the Kurhaus.

Economic miracle

At long last, the Kurhaus was once again able to fulfil its original raison-d'être, which is to be the heart of the city,  attracting many notables and celebrities.

Full steam ahead

Following further modernisation, the Kurhaus started to accommodate increasing numbers of congress guests as well as social events.
