Ludwig von Zanth

Thanks to a scholarship from the Kingdom of Westphalia, Zanth was able to attend the École polymatique and the Lycée Bonaparte in Paris in the summer and autumn of 1813.

At the end of 1813, his father sent his son to Stuttgart, where he completed his school education, especially in the classical languages Latin and Greek, at the Gymnasium.

Subsequently, Zanth completed an apprenticeship in the architectural office of the court master builder Ferdinand von Fischer.

After stays in Schwäbisch Hall, Ellwangen and Paris, where he contributed to two theatre buildings and converted from the Protestant faith to Catholicism,[1] he settled as an architect in Stuttgart in 1831.

Subsequently, King Wilhelm I of Württemberg entrusted him with the planning and execution of a public bath in the midst of exotic greenhouses and parks in the immediate vicinity of the Wilhelma Theatre.
