With the construction of a new spa house between 1807 and 1810, which clearly demonstrated the ambition of the young ducal Nassau residence of Wiesbaden to join the ranks of Europe's leading spas, work also began on creating a spa park.

This was the first park to be created, which, as a designed landscape, was intended to form the transition to the first Taunus hills.

The park underwent some minor changes at the beginning of the 20th century: Wiesbaden had acquired a reputation as a world spa resort, and these claims were to be documented by the construction of a new spa building. The larger dimensions of the building, inaugurated in 1907, and the numerous spa guests from all over the world made it necessary to extend the concert square between the Kurhaus and the Kurparkweiher pond, and some of the paths also had to be widened. The creation of a "Nice Square", framed by the columns of the old Kurhaus, still reminds us today of Wiesbaden as the "Nice of the North".
