The Romans came here for restorative treatment, Beethoven hoped to cure deafness, and the Habsburgs in the 19th century came here for relaxation and enjoyment of a cozy and very fashionable resort.

Most of the buildings in the center have been preserved from the 19th century; they were built in the Biedermeier style, which was formed during the reconstruction of the city after the Turkish invasion. The projects of the architect Joseph Kornhuisel, who bestowed this style on the city, gave Baden its second name - Biedermeierstadt.
