Patronage facility

The patronage facility in Baden-Baden is a park located directly on the Oos in the Lichtentaler Allee area . It was donated by the German-American coffee king Hermann Sielcken , named after the Lord Mayor of Baden-Baden Albert Gönner , designed by Max Laeuger and laid out between 1909 and 1912.

Roses have been cultivated and cared for in the strictly symmetrical hedge garden since 1952. There are now around 360 types of roses.

If you enter the patrons' facility over the Josephinenbrücke, you can see the Josephinenbrunnen with a large basin beyond a lawn flanked by rose bushes, in which goldfish and pond roses can be found. The fountain was designed in Art Nouveau style by the Munich sculptor Josef Flossmann . The figure on the left personifies the spa treatment, the figure on the right the drinking treatment.

The bridge and fountain are named after Josephine Sielcken, the wife of the founder. Benches and groups of tables invite you to linger and enjoy the splendor of roses.

The Gönneranlage can be reached via Lichtentaler Allee or Ludwig-Wilhelm-Straße.
