Jugendstil Art Nouveau

Siehe [[1]]

Die alte Bahnhofshalle ist berühmt für ihre große Dachkonstruktion aus Gusseisen und Glas, die zwischen 1888 und 1892 im Jugendstil von dem aus Bilbao stammenden Architekten Alberto del Palacio Elissague erbaut wurde.

Zumindest dieses Foto des alten Bahnhof Atocha zeigt einen Teil der Jugenstilarchitektur. mit freundlichen Grüßen --Ronaldino 13:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Ronaldino. Unfortunately :-(, I don´t speak German and I can´t understand your explanations, but my basic vocabulary in that beautiful language lets me understand that you say that Atocha station is an Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) building. This is completely untrue, although German Wikipedia may say so. We all know that wikipedia articles are not a reliable source themselves, they must prove the statements with serious sources.

Alberto del Palacio Atocha station, as may other glass and iron train stations, winterhouses, exhibition pavilions and industrial buildings from the nineteenth century are the result of the aesthetic researchs of the ingeneers with the new material of the Industrial Revolution, and globally, they can be seen as ONE of the various precedents, influences, or even basis for the eclosion of art nouveau. If Atocha station is Art Nouveau, then Paxton`s Crystal Palace, or the Hall of Machines of Dutert and Contamin, to say only two famous examples should be also considered so. And because of their chronology, style and -especially- intentions, they are definitely not art Nouveau.

I would be delighted to continue this conversation in English, Spanish, or Italian. If necessary, please write in basic German. It will be difficult for me to understand everything, but I will try. Danke shön. Mit freundlichen Grüßen--Balbo 10:51, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
