==Personalities== The Russian writer [[Anton Chekhov]] died there on 15 July (o.s. 2 July) 1904. From Badenweiler, Chekhov wrote outwardly jovial letters to his sister Masha describing the food and surroundings. Badenweiler became one of Chekhov's hometown [[Taganrog]]'s sister cities in 2002. <gallery> File:Anton Chekhov in Badenweiler 06.JPG|Anton Chekhov<ref>[http://www.badenweiler.de/de/kultur_und_geschichte/anton_tschechow__1 Badenweiler:] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140426032054/http://www.badenweiler.de/de/kultur_und_geschichte/anton_tschechow__1 |date=26 April 2014 }} Antón Chekhov</ref> Place File:Anton-Tschechow-Platz in Badenweiler.JPG|Room where he died and sculpture "[[The Seagull]]" by Alexander Taratinov File:Anton Chekhov in Badenweiler 01.JPG|Monument on Castle Mountain File:Tschechow Salon Badenweiler 6.JPG|Chekhov Salon<ref>[http://www.badenweiler.de/de/kultur_und_geschichte/tschechow_salon__1 Badenweiler:] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140425035550/http://www.badenweiler.de/de/kultur_und_geschichte/tschechow_salon__1 |date=25 April 2014 }} Chekhov Salon</ref><ref>[http://www.literaturland-bw.de/museum/info/13 Literary Country Baden-Württemberg:] Literary Museum Chekhov Salon</ref> </gallery> The American poet, novelist, and journalist [[Stephen Crane]] died there on 15 June 1900 of tuberculosis.<BR> Ephraim Moses Lilien (1874–1925) was an art nouveau illustrator and print-maker particularly noted for his art on Jewish and Zionist themes.
