uncommonly personal and individual<br />
taste (hermitage, porcelain collection) – an<br />
impression only reinforced by the fact that<br />
functional buildings and elements have<br />
disappeared. Its comparatively small size and<br />
massed furnishing are due to the status of a<br />
Margravate. The garden has been redesigned<br />
completely to become a landscape garden.<br />

Basic Facts<br />
Location: Germany, state of Baden-<br />
Württemberg, city of Stuttgart<br />
Historical outline: Begun in 1763 under Duke<br />
Carl Eugen, developed into a grand pleasure<br />
palace by 1772; garden first laid out in Rococo<br />
style by Friedrich Christoph Hemmerling,<br />
from 1767 enlarged by Reinhard Ferdinand<br />
Heinrich Fischer and furnished with many<br />
buildings; from 1775 gradual descent into<br />
obscurity and deterioration due to the ascent<br />
of Hohenheim; translocation of several<br />
buildings (church, stables).<br />
Characteristics: According to Hennebo the<br />
palace is representative of the somewhat<br />
contradictory wishes for both a quiet place<br />
of refuge and an opportunity for courtly<br />
display. Notable for its time is the very<br />
modern interest in the cultivation of crop<br />
plants. Today the summer palace sits by itself,<br />
like a solitaire gemstone, in the surrounding<br />
countryside.<br />
Topical Comparison<br />
Summer residence: ”Cavalierbau“ (courtiers’<br />
house) with chapel, ”Officenbau“ (officials’<br />
house) with theatre, ”Hall of Laurels“ with<br />
Apollo temple, hedge theatre and stables all<br />
denote functions of a summer residence.<br />
Impressively linked (from 1764) to the main<br />
residence by way of a perfectly straight<br />
avenue; after a brief heyday the estate<br />
suffered a rapid decline in the chaotic wake of<br />
the Napoleonic wars.<br />
Synthesis of gardening styles: lavishly<br />
furnished Rococo garden on the brink of<br />
