Brühl Garden

Plan of the gardens (around 1761)

The Brühlsche Garten is now only called the eastern part of the Brühlsche Terrasse in Dresden on the Jungfernbastei , the location of the former Belvederes (I - IV), but originally the entire garden on the Brühlsche Terrasse. It was one of the Brühl's glories .

history

The garden was laid out from 1739 as a French garden according to plans by Johann Christoph Knöffel on the Brühl Terrace for Count Heinrich von Brühl . It consisted of the larger part at the Belvedere and the western part at the Brühlschen Palais . In 1814 the garden was opened to the public.

pavilion

→ Main article : Brühlscher garden pavilion

At the level of the small bastion in the western part, a garden room in the Rococo style stood since 1743 . This was used from 1828 to 1833 by the Technical Educational Institute. The sculptor Ernst Rietschel then had his studio here until it was demolished in 1859. A memorial for Rietschel, made by the sculptor Johannes Schilling , has stood here since 1876 . A bronze plaque by Martin Hänisch from 1986 with the dimensions 53 by 88 centimeters reminds of the pavilion as the home of the Technical Educational Institute, the forerunner of the Technical University .
