 The chalet style soon spread over the German "Mittelgebirge" landscapes such as the Harz mountains or the Dresden area and the adjacent North Bohemian region.As a "modern" building style, it also influenced the resort architecture along the Baltic seaside, like in Binz or Heringsdorf.Around 1900, design elements were used in the construction of numerous bourgeois family homes as well as by notable architects like Heinrich von Ferstel to build larger mansions and hotels.
