Gönneranlage, Baden-Baden
Facts and practical information
The Gönneranlage in Baden-Baden is a park located directly on the Oos River in the Lichtentaler Allee area. It was donated by the German-American coffee king Hermann Sielcken, named after the mayor of Baden-Baden Albert Gönner, designed by Max Laeuger and laid out between 1909 and 1912.
In the strictly symmetrically arranged hedge garden roses have been grown and cared for since 1952. Meanwhile, about 360 varieties of roses are counted.
If you enter the Gönneranlage via the Josephinenbrücke, you will see the Josephinenbrunnen with a large basin containing goldfish and pond roses on the other side of a lawn flanked by rose bushes. The fountain was designed by the Munich sculptor Josef Flossmann in Art Nouveau style. The left figure personifies the bathing cure, the right figure the drinking cure.
The bridge and fountain are named after Josephine Sielcken, the wife of the founder. Benches and table groups invite you to linger and enjoy the rose splendor.
The Gönneranlage can be reached via Lichtentaler Allee or Ludwig-Wilhelm-Strasse.
