In the travelling bag Bae-
deker carried the notebooks In

data, information on prices,

timetables and myriad such
facts useful to future tourists
He meticulously visited every

An entry in his diary dated
June IA, 1854, is typical of his
passion for diligence and de-

eight hours one day and six
hours the next in the Pere

Tracy became the hallmark Of
the "Baedeker."
Baedeker's thrift also en-
deared him to travellers. He
bristled at high prices. In this
respect Paris annoyed him in
tensely. He wrote testify in
the introduction to his guide
TO Paris in 1855:
"For travelling here, one needs
firstly, secondly and thirdly
money"
Because a majority Of Eu-
ropes 10Th century tourists
were Britons, Baedeker began
publishing his guides in Eng
list. Before World War I, q
Briton making the Grand Tour
would have sooner started
without shoes as without his
Baedeker.
After Karl Baedeker's death,
his sons continued putting out
the famous red-bound guides,
crammed, as their father would
have insisted, with advice, his
tory and facts, facts. facts.
A good example is the 1887
edition of paris and 1t En-
virons," which, Bible-size, has
$50 pages of text in fine print

North American NeWbphpoE AihahSe
COBLENZ, Germany, Oct. "a.
karl Baedeker. writing in
1854, bristled at avaricious inn
keepers who charge their
guests for the candles to light
their rooms.
Nobody minds paying for
what he enjoys" Baedeker lee
tured, "but to pay the price Of
a room again for things that
should be included in the orig
tnal price is very annoying"
The jet-age travel industry
owes an abiding debt to the
indefatigable German who died
100 years ago this month, the
first and most solemnly con-
scientious of the guidebook
writer's. He never wrote about
any city he hadn't visited, any
restaurant he hadn't dined in,
or any hotel he hadn't slept in.
Baedeker raped the knuckles
Of innkeepers and travellers i'm
partially. His 1854 guide to
Germany postulated that, 1.-THE
treatment of guests at an inn
depends on many circum-
stances. The appearance of
the guest himself influences the
kind of treatment he will re-
ceive."
Someone who is travelling
with heavy trunks, waking a
lot of noise, full Of complaints
and demands about the room,
bed. food or drinks, and ringing
the bell for service all the time,
should not complain if he has
to pay a big bill," Baedeker OBJ
served.
For this kind of traveller,
the prices cited in this book do
not apply; in these circum-
stances, they are too low"
Travel TrailbIazer
In the early 1800s there were
no travel agencies to hand out
four-color tour folders and ar
range all-expense. infinitely
scheduled, guided tours of the
continent.
Travel was mostly by post
coach, waySide inns were du-
biouS, innkeeperS and guides
frequently larcenous. Travelling
was rarely done for pleasure; it
required fortitude and stamina.
But Karl Baedeker dreamed
Of changing all this. Almost
alone. he liked to travel for fun,
and he foresaw the mass tour
ism inherent in the first rail-
roads and steamships.
Baedeker was born in Essen,
then part of Prussia, in 1901.
He was the son of a printer
publisher. When 26, he moved
upstream on the Rhine to
found his own publishing bust
ness at Coblenz.
The first passenger steamer
service had just been started
on the Rhine between Coblenz
and Mainz, and one Prof. j. A.
Klein had brought out a mod
est guidebook for the trip.
Baedeker had done consider
able travelling before coming
to Coblenz. He sensed not only
the upsurge in mass travel. but
the need for accurate, detailed
travel information. Travel lit
erature then extant was mainly

In l943 its Leipzig plant was
wiped out by allied bombing
In 1853 the Baedeker heirs re-
established the guidebook plant
at Freiburg, in West Germany's
fairytale Black Forest.
1t is now appearing in five
languages. At present there are
English-language guides on
Austria, Switzerland and Ger
many, and a fourth volume on
Spain and Portugal, is in prep
aration.
Current Baedekers have been
pruned, but all the pertinent
information is there, set down
in terse, no-nonsense style.
They still are synonymous with
"guidebooks."

throughout the system as educa-
