Between the 19th and 20th centuries many architectural monuments were created which are worth a visit. Admire the curved lines, ornamental patterns from flora, geometry and mythology or the building as a total work of art. In the facade designs of buildings Art Nouveau especially affects shapes of windows and their type of glazing - predominantly round and semi-circular window shapes.
During the tour you will see the the railway station, Augustastraße and Wilhelmsplatz. Don't forget the Strasbourg Passage and the Postplatz with the "Muschelminna".
Furthermore you should take a look at Marienplatz, the famous departement store and the hotel "Am Goldenen Strauß". The buildings in Joliot-Curie-Straße 4 and 5 and the new synagogue in Otto-Müller-Straße are particularly typical of the Art Nouveau era. Finally, walk through the city park to the Stadthalle and Villa Ephraim in Goethestraße.
Augustastraße takes you to Wilhelmsplatz and the Strasbourg Passage, where you will find a wide range of places to stop and shop. Here you can see the typical features of the era, too. The tour continues along Berliner Straße to Postplatz, where an art fountain called "Muschelminna" is located.
