Tips from the Community

Michael (mimirsbrunnen)
August 4, 2026, Schweizerhaus Ludwigslust

Herzogin Luise liked to retreat here. Contemporaries called her "heavyweight"; her life at the side of her fun-loving husband was apparently not great happiness. She died in 1808 and – against all convention and at her express wish – was initially buried under one of her beloved old trees east of the Schweizerhaus. Later she was moved to the Louisen-Mausoleum.

The water features were created during the late Baroque expansion under court architect Johann Joachim Busch (around the 1760s) during the time of Duke Friedrich. The park emerged from a small Baroque garden (from 1731/35) and was redesigned as a landscape park by Peter Joseph Lenné from 1852–1860. The fountains are operated exclusively by the natural (and partly artificially created) gradient of the water – without mechanical pumps. This applies to all water features in the park.

The Lion's Head Bridge was dismantled in 1992 and rebuilt in 1993 (it's a listed building). This is evident from the approximately 1 meter of concrete in the lower section. It was necessary because the clearance height was insufficient due to electrification in the 1980s, and the track was lowered, often flooding during rain. It was my construction site in 1993. It's a great place to visit! Regards, EO

Be sure to plan a quick stop at the bakery. After a coffee and a delicious slice of homemade cake, the onward journey will be easier...
