Spa gardens of Baden, Heritage spa park in Baden, Austria

The Kurpark Baden bei Wien lies on the southwestern slope of the Badener Berg in Baden, Lower Austria. Its buildings and garden monuments are protected. The park took its present form between 1896 and 1932 under city gardener Josef Krupka, working from plans by Josef Schaffhausen: paths, the Kalvarienberg wooded with trees from 1874 to 1896, and an area east of the open staircase. A wrought-iron fence with three gates from the Teschen ironworks closes the south side.

In the 2nd century a bathing district was developed around an original spring on the site of today's Sommerarena and casino. From 1691 the town judge Michael Schlachtner funded Stations of the Cross, completed after 1715 by his daughter. A small garden laid out in 1758 before the Theresienbad was enlarged into a town park in 1792 by the estate gardener Jean Barbé; from 1807 to 1812 Ignaz Freiherr von Lang added the Kalvarienberg park, which passed to the municipality in 1837.

Monuments in the park recall musicians linked to Baden: the Beethoven Temple in the north-eastern section, a memorial to Franz Grillparzer in the southern part, and the Lanner-Strauss monument. The Mozart Temple, at the end of the main avenue, was moved there and given its name in 1962; it was previously called the Aesculapius Temple.

The park is entered through three wrought-iron gates made by the Teschen ironworks, installed in 1880 to close off the southern side. A staircase at the end of the main avenue links the lower grounds with the upper park up to the Rudolfshof. The paths were laid out between 1896 and 1932 to Josef Schaffhausen's plans.

The park holds monuments to two men who shaped its layout: city gardener Josef Schaffhausen, who from 1874 reforested the Kalvarienberg and laid out its paths, and his successor Josef Krupka, who completed the work between 1896 and 1932. A memorial stone to Krupka (1864–1932) stands in the north-eastern section.
