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 />
