- Abstract
When the Silesian spa town Lázně Jeseník commissioned the renowned Viennese town planer Eugen Fassbender in 1909 with a regulatory plan for the city’s future development, the town was about to transform itself from the birthplace of modern hydrotherapy – Vincenz Prießnitz founded his establishment here in 1826 – to a modern, allyear- running health resort. This article presents Fassbender’s urbanistic ideas for Lázně Jeseník’s future and his planning principles applied to a spa town. Although his plan was not realized, as a historic source, it offers valuable insights into the developments of Central European spa towns and their touristic, urbanistic, and architectonical challenges around 1900.
