The photograph shows a broad promenade lined with neatly trimmed deciduous trees in the spa resort of Wiesbaden. Numerous passersby—men and women in summer clothing of the late 1930s—stroll or sit on benches in the shade of the trees. On the left, Gründerzeit commercial buildings with awnings flank the boulevard. The travel film devotes a separate chapter to the spa resorts of Wiesbaden and Bad Homburg, using such promenade scenes to illustrate the refined spa life and the representative urban layout. The photograph exemplifies the type of fashionable spa town with its promenade designed for relaxation and sociability.
