history
The Baden-Baden City Library was opened on April 1, 1901 as the “ public library with reading room” with an initial inventory of 3500 books. Despite the steadily increasing readership (in 1901 there were 1104, in 1910 then 3498 and 1916 even 6195 readers) the personnel and financial resources remained at a low level for 20 years. It was not until 1907 that the library was allocated a budget for the purchase of books, and from 1920 Kuno Brombacher, the first trained librarian, was hired.
The purges during the Nazi era also left clear traces in the Baden-Baden City Library: the book inventory was reduced by almost half to 7,630 volumes between 1933 and 1937.
The lending system of the first decades was, in accordance with the reading advice customary at the time, a counter lending, in which the readers were not allowed to make their own selection. The librarian was able to demonstrate his specialist knowledge and at the same time his psychological empathy in order to recommend the right book to the questioning reader . The librarian was educating the reader, paying special attention to younger readers.
The citizen was not until 1954 in the youth books, 1959 in nonfiction and 1961, when the novel selection for mature explained. In the open-shelf sees readers now alphabetically or systematically arranged book title in the aisles.
After 1945, the property and the building became the property of the City of Baden-Baden as the " Schulz Family Foundation ". In the will it was determined that a municipal library should be set up in the house. That was the cornerstone for the move of the city library from the Palais Hamilton to part of the current premises in 1953.
Extensions and modifications shaped the following decades. In 1979 the city acquired the building at Lange Str. 43, which was directly connected to the existing library. A major renovation took place in 1994. The main entrance to the pedestrian zone was relocated and an area with a central booking counter was created there. In 2006, another building project followed in the entrance area and the introduction of self-booking with RFID .
In January 2011, after a construction period of twelve months, the new building of the city library was ready to move into. Part of the previous library building had been cleared in favor of the retail trade; the media previously housed there are now in the adjacent new building. The city library thus has a spacious entrance area, as the public area has been increased by dispensing with the previous office and basement rooms. The elevator enables barrier-free use of the city library.
