– Background –

Karl Baedeker was a German publisher and founder of the Baedeker travel guides. Born on November 3, 1801, in Essen to an established family of printers and publishers, he completed his education and apprenticeship in Heidelberg before working as an assistant for a publisher in Berlin. In 1827, he opened a publishing bookstore in Koblenz and acquired Franz Friedrich Röhling's publishing company five years later. Baedeker revised and expanded the Rheinreise, published by Röhling, into a guidebook, which became the first Baedeker travel guide in 1835. He revolutionized travel literature to make readers independent of tour guides, creating hand-held travel guides with a characteristic red cover for destinations in Europe, which were known for their clarity, accuracy, and currency. The Baedeker name became a synonym for travel guides in the German-speaking world, and the guides established a set of travel routes and landmarks. Baedeker is considered a pioneer of mass tourism, as the travel guides he created institutionalized travel as a form of pleasure. Baedeker died of a heart attack on October 4, 1859, in Koblenz, and his children, Ernst, Karl Jr., and Fritz, continued his work.
