Kurhaus of Baden-Baden
The Kurhaus is a spa resort, casino, and conference complex in Baden-Baden, Germany in the outskirts of the Black Forest (''Schwarzwald'').
==History==
The main structure was designed in 1824 by Friedrich Weinbrenner, who is responsible for the Corinthian columns and paired-griffins frieze of the grand entrance and the neo-classical interiors. Although a casino was incorporated from the inception of the Kurhaus, it only began to achieve international fame in the mid-1830s, when gambling was forbidden in France. This legal barrier encouraged gamblers to cross the border where they could try their luck at Baden-Baden's gaming tables.〔McLachlan, Gordon. (2004). ( ''The Rough Guide to Germany,'' pp. 326-327. )〕 Fyodor Dostoyevsky's ''The Gambler'' was inspired by the Russian author's visit to the Kurhaus casino.〔Schulte-Peevers, ( p. 433. )〕 At one point in her life, Marlene Dietrich declared that this was "the most beautiful casino in the world."〔Schulte-Peevers, ( pp. 431-433. )〕
Over the course of nearly two centuries, the famous resort has experienced its ups and downs. The number of wealthy tourists diminished, for example, during the midst of the First World War.〔( "Baden-Baden now Dullest of Spas; Famous Resort Visited Chiefly by Convalescent Soldiers and Their "War Brides," ) ''New York Times.'' August 1, 1915.〕 However, by the 1920s, some of those who were made wealthy by the Great War were displacing the titled Europeans who had contributed to building Kurhaus's reputation as a resort and casino.〔( "Gay Throngs Again Fill Baden-Baden; Tourist Finds Special Courtesy to Americans in Returning Tide of Travel," ) ''New York Times.'' June 22, 1920.〕
