Photographer’s Note
Construction of Baden’s Kurpark, by the gardener Jean Baptist Barbé, began in the late 18th century on the site of the former Theresienbad and Theresiengarten. The park was extended over the years taking its current shape in the first half of the 20th century.(read here )
In the picture there is the Lanner and Srauss Monument.
[Lanner= Josef Lanner (12 April 1801 – 14 April 1843) was an Austrian dance music composer. He was best remembered as one of the earliest Viennese composers to reform the waltz from a simple peasant dance to something that even the highest society could enjoy, either as an accompaniment to the dance or for the music's own sake. He was just as famous as his friend and musical rival Johann Strauss I, who was better known outside of Austria in their day because of his concert tours abroad, in particular, to France and England.
Strauss= Johann Strauss I (German: Johann Strauß) born in Vienna, (March 14, 1804 – September 25, 1849) was an Austrian Romantic composer known particularly for his waltzes and for popularizing it alongside Josef Lanner thereby (without intention) setting the foundations for his sons to carry on his musical dynasty.
