Download or read book The German Spa in the Long Eighteenth Century written by Ute Lotz-Heumann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-25 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting the focus from the medical use of spas to their cultural and social functions, this study shows that eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century German spas served a vital role as spaces where new ways of perceiving the natural environment and conceptualizing society were disseminated. Although spas continued to be places of health and healing, their function and perception in central Europe changed fundamentally around the middle of the eighteenth century. This transformation of the role of the spa occurred in two ways. First, the spa popularized a new perception of the landscape with a preference for mountains and the seacoast, forming the basis for the cultural assumptions underlying modern tourism. Second, contemporaries perceived spas as meeting places comparable to institutions of Enlightenment sociability like coffeehouses, salons, and Masonic lodges. Spas were conceived as spaces where the nobility and the bourgeoisie could interact on an equal footing, thereby overcoming the constraints of early modern social boundaries. These changes were negotiated through both personal interactions at spas and an increasingly sophisticated published spa discourse. The late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century German spa thus helped to bring about social and cultural modernity.

Download or read book The Grand Spas of Central Europe written by David Clay Large and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Grand Spas of Central Europe leads readers on an irresistible tour through the grand spa towns of Central Europe—fabled places like Baden-Baden, Bad Ems, Bad Gastein, Karlsbad, and Marienbad. Noted historian David Clay Large follows the grand spa story from Greco-Roman antiquity to the present, focusing especially on the years between the French Revolution and World War II, a period in which the major Central European Kurorte (“cure-towns”) reached their peak of influence and then slipped into decline. Written with verve and affection, the book explores the grand spa towns, which in their prime were an equivalent of today’s major medical centers, rehab retreats, golf resorts, conference complexes, fashion shows, music festivals, and sexual hideaways—all rolled into one. Conventional medicine being quite primitive through most of this era, people went to the spas in hopes of curing everything from cancer to gout. But often as not “curists” also went to play, to be entertained, and to socialize. In their heyday the grand spas were hotbeds of cultural creativity, true meccas of the arts. High-level politics was another grand spa specialty, with statesmen descending on the Kurorte to negotiate treaties, craft alliances, and plan wars. This military scheming was just one aspect of a darker side to the grand spa story, one rife with nationalistic rivalries, ethnic hatred, and racial prejudice. The grand spas, it turns out, were microcosms of changing sociopolitical realities—not at all the “timeless” oases of harmony they often claimed to be. The Grand Spas of Central Europe holds up a gilt-framed but clear-eyed mirror to the ever-changing face of European society—dimples, warts, and all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spas of Germany Ir does not often fall to the lot of a writer who undertakes to add a fresh work to English literature, to light upon a sub jcet absolutely new. Still less often does it happen that what is new shall prove, at the same time, useful and amusing. To two of these qualities, the subject I have selected on the present occasion may lay indisputable claim. Whether the third or last of them may, with the like justice, be ascribed in it, depends on the manner in which the subject has been treated - and of that the reader alone must judge. The very motive which induced me, in this instance, to com pose and publish a work on the Mineral Waters in Germany, -o namely, the total want of such a book in the English language, - shows that the subject, in this country, must be new -i mean new when treated, as I trust it has been in the present vo lume, in the character of a general, full, extended, and practical account of the principal and most celebrated of those waters ah account that shall leave no part of the necessary information respecting them untouched; and new also, as resulting from recent investigations of the places themselves, instituted 'in every case by the author in person.

It is a geographical fact, but whether worth recording or not I leave to better physical geographers than I am to determine, that the three great groups of the Bohemian, Bavarian, and Nassau Spas, are placed, as nearly as possible, on the same parallel, namely, about the 50th degree of latitude; with an intervening space of five degrees (from the 8 to the 13 ) of longitude between the first and third group; the Bavarian group occupying the middle. If two parallel lines be drawn through the central part of Germany, between the two...
