The German Spa in the Long Eighteenth Century available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 and read online ebook Theorie der Gartenkunst write by Christian Cay Lorenz Hirschfeld. This book was released on 1779. Theorie der Gartenkunst available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. First edition of the book which introduced English garden design to northern Europe. Christian Cajus Lorenz Hirschfeld (1742-1792), professor in philosophy and art at Kiel in Germany, specialized in the art of the garden, and wrote a number of books on country-houses and country-gardens, which led up to the present, his most important work, in which the author treats the whole history and theory of garden architecture. The work is a classic in its field, and is still of importance. As Hirschfeld loved nature, he much preferred the more natural English school of garden architecture above the more stylistic French and the too abundant Italian schools of garden architecture. He did much to promote the English garden in Germany, and paved the way for the new ideas that a garden, though cultivated, should be in harmony with nature.
