Papers by Andrea Schaer
The study pursued two objectives:
1) to develop an overview of the current range of training and further education courses on offer relating to cultural heritage management in Switzerland,
2) to evaluate the potential demand for further education in the field of heritage management.
This publication presents the archaeological and historical sources as well as the history of archaeological research on the thermal springs of Baden (Canton Aargau).
– The hot thermal springs of Baden in Aargau have been in use for over 2000 years. The Romans built the
healing baths of Aquae Helveticae here shortly after the turn of the millennium.
– From the Middle Ages and into the early modern period, Baden was the most important spa resort in German-speaking Europe. During the spa boom of the 19th and early 20th centuries, Baden welcomed guests from all over the world.
– The 2000-year history of the baths has left behind a wealth of archaeological evidence as well as written and pictorial sources.
– It wasn’t until the 1960s when archaeological research in a narrow sense and excavation activities were carried out.
– This volume forms the basis for the 2009–2012 and 2018 excavations presented in the second volume
of this publication.
