The phenomenon of the so-called (Bohemian) Baroque landscape is usually linked with the expression of deep religious thinking. The roles of rational economic thinking and political representation have been mentioned less frequently. The Baden region is a unique example of landscape cultivation in the first third of the 18th century. This territory, affected by several wars, was renovated during the reign of Louis William, Margrave of Baden-Baden and his wife Sibylla Augusta with the help of builders and chief officers from the Bohemian Lands. This resulted in the fact that numerous features linked with the so-called (Bohemian) Baroque landscape were applied. The link between religious thinking of margraves and the manifestation of their political ambitions as well as the effort to revive the economy was apparent.
