The photograph shows four women in contemporary one-piece bathing suits posing before a semi-circular wall niche richly decorated with Art Nouveau tiles. The elaborate tile ornamentation featuring floral motifs in the arched field and vertically divided panels points to a prestigious spa building complex of the turn of the century. In the travel film, this sequence is contextualized in relation to the spa towns of Wiesbaden and Bad Homburg, which are presented as fashionable bathing destinations. The scene illustrates the active spa operations and the refined leisure offerings of the health resort infrastructure. It supplements the exterior shots of the Kurhaus and park facilities as an insight into the interior life of Wiesbaden’s bathing culture in 1937.
