"The park became increasingly neglected in the 1980s and 1990s. The views became overcast. Today, one can at least glimpse the cityscape. Visible are the palace, in its essential form dating from 1682, the town church from 1565, the houses on the market square, and the roof of the Sachsenhof palace."
