Bäderarchitektur refers to a distinctive architectural style that emerged in the 19th century, primarily in seaside resorts in Germany. Characterized by its elegant wooden structures, ornate balconies, and decorative facades, this style was designed to attract visitors to health resorts and spas. The architecture often features bright colors and intricate details, reflecting the leisure and luxury associated with coastal vacations. This architectural movement is most prominently seen in towns like Binz and Ahlbeck on the Baltic Sea and North Sea. The buildings were often constructed to provide a welcoming atmosphere for tourists, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal. Today, many of these structures are preserved as cultural heritage sites.
