The reason for this conference was the fact that several European spa towns are presently considering applying for the UNESCO World Heritage List. In the form of a comparative study the conference was meant to give first impulses for a joint application. However, it was not intended as a means to help several interested spa towns to get accepted as World Heritage more easily by joining forces. Instead, the idea of a transnational, serial nomination developped from an intensive preoccupation with tlle phenomenon of the spa town initiated by the Baden-Württemberg monument conservation authority and the City of Baden Baden. Spas and health resorts existed in Europe since the Antiquity; due to societal conditions they became most popular in the 19th century. Apart from countless small spas and health resorts of regional relevance a few large health resorts and fashionable spa towns of international standing developped, modeled on the princely spas of the 18th century. Their Europe-wide attraction and international profile was also reflected in the urban layout. These large spa towns of the 19th century, where different lines of development converge, are not simply marked by buildings for therapeutic services, but by the entity of the topographical and urbanistic structure. Consequently, paths and huts in the surrounding forests can be just as significant for understanding the relevance of a spa town as the spa facilities, a Russian-Orthodox church, a racecourse or a band-stand. Tue partly parallel development of seaside resorts and climatic health resorts was not discussed at this conference, because formally and functionally they represent separate types of settlement.06.
