The Glücksburg Castle ( Danish : Lyksborg slot ) is one of the most important Renaissance castles in Northern Europe. It served the ducal lines of the Glücksburg family as their ancestral seat and was the temporary residence of the Danish royal family. The building, a moated castle , is located in Glücksburg on the Flensburg Fjord . The family members of the Glücksburg House, named after the castle, are related to almost all European dynasties.

The castle is one of the most famous sights of Schleswig-Holstein . It houses a museum and is open to visitors.

History of the castle

From the Rüdekloster to Glücksburg

The prehistory of today's castle grounds began in Schleswig in 1192 when the local double monastery of St. Michael on the mountains was dissolved. The nuns referred to the St. John's monastery in Schleswig , which still exists today , while the monks left the place and went to Guldholm on the Langsee . Between 1209 and 1210 they founded a new Cistercian monastery in today's Glücksburg . In the vicinity of the monastery there was probably an older tower hill castle , which has been preserved to this day as a swan island. The so-called Rüdekloster and the extensive land were inhabited and farmed by the monks in the following centuries. At that time there were still several castle complexes in neighboring Flensburg (cf. Flensburg city fortifications ) and from 1411 the large, militarily important Duburg . In the course of the Reformation , the Rüdekloster was secularized in 1538 and in 1544 came into the possession of the Danish King Christian III. The monastery buildings served as the residence of the administrator . The Duburg in Flensburg was also in decline at the beginning of the 16th century.

The headquarters of the older line

The actual history of the castle begins in 1582. The Danish King Friedrich II enfeoffed his brother Johann , known as Hans the Younger, with the lands of Sundewitt , Reinfeld Monastery and the old Rüdekloster among other things . Johann, who already had considerable estates, acquired additional areas. The government of the duchy was largely in the hands of his brother. Johann was a separate man , because the estates refused to pay homage to him , but he tried to increase his fortune and reputation in other ways. He worked successfully as an early mercantilist entrepreneur. As a typical duke of his time, he expressed his wealth with various buildings and founded, among other things, the now demolished castles in Reinfeld and Ahrensbök . He modernized the Sonderburger Castle and from 1582 built Glücksburg instead of the Rüdekloster as a homely country castle for himself and his family.

After Johann's death in 1622, the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg was divided among his heirs. Johann's son Philipp received the castle and lands of Glücksburg and thus founded the first, older line of the house of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg . The castle remained the seat of the Dukes of Glücksburg for over 150 years, but the small titular duchy itself remained relatively insignificant. Apart from the fact that the members of the house were repeatedly married into other noble families, they played no role in the history of the country. At that time, Glücksburg was more of a continuously inhabited noble family seat and less of a courtly residence. In the middle of the 17th century, the palace and its outbuildings housed a court of an average of 80 people.

As the successor to Johann († 1622) resided here:

With the death of the childless Friedrich Heinrich Wilhelm in 1779, the older branch of the family died out and the Glücksburg fiefdom went back to the Danish royal family. Until 1824 the castle was used as a widow's residence by the wife of the last duke, Anna Carolina.

The castle becomes the headquarters of the younger line

Under Christian IX. Glücksburg became the "cradle of Europe". Painting from 1887

The Danish King Friedrich VI. handed over the fiefdom and with it the castle and title in 1825 to his brother-in-law Friedrich Wilhelm from the Holstein-Beck family . Friedrich Wilhelm assisted the Danish king during the Congress of Vienna and was appropriately rewarded with the title. The new duke, who grew up in Denmark and Prussia , was a direct descendant of the castle's builder, Johann III. Together with his wife, Luise Karoline , a daughter of the ducal governor Karl von Hessen-Kassel , he founded the younger line of the Glücksburg family . Friedrich Wilhelm no longer lived in the palace himself; however, his wife resided here until the Schleswig-Holstein elevation . The later Danish King Christian IX was one of their ten children . - the progenitor of today's Glücksburg line on the Danish throne.

The Danish royal family often used the relatives' castle as a summer residence . From 1854, King Friedrich VII occasionally resided at Glücksburg until he died there in 1863 without children. According to the London Protocol of 1852 , Christian IX. his successor from the Glücksburg line. Under him, the castle received the reputation of being the cradle of Europe and the new king was often referred to as the father-in-law of Europe . From Christian's marriage to Princess Louise of Hesse , three daughters were married into the royal houses of England and Russia: Alexandra married the later Edward VII , Dagmar the later Tsar Alexander III. and the youngest daughter Thyra the Duke of Cumberland . The second son became King George I of Greece and the grandson Carl King of Norway . The Glücksburg family is related to almost all of the great European dynasties from this period to the present day .

In the possession of Wilhelm I.

During the Second Schleswig War in 1864, the castle served as quarters for Carl von Prussia and was later even used as a hospital and barracks. With the war, the long personal union of the Danish royal family and the Schleswig-Holstein duchies ended and the castle passed into Prussian ownership. On September 16, 1868, the Prussian King Wilhelm I visited the castle during a visit to Flensburg to decide on its future whereabouts and use.

The Flensburger Nachrichten reported on September 22nd: “[...] [the] place [Glücksburg] had festively adorned itself for the arrival of the king; There were three gates of honor, one at Ruhethal, the second in front of the entrance to the town, the third at the driveway to the castle, and flags and floral decorations in abundance. The king arrived at 3:16 p.m., at the second gate of honor, Pastor Vogel gave a brief address, which the monarch graciously returned. A few peasant girls had gathered at the castle to offer the father of the country butter, bread, cheese and fruit as fishing products. [...] The whole stay in the village and at the castle lasted only a small hour. "

King Wilhelm I showed no further personal interest in the property and the War Ministry no longer needed it. In 1869, King Wilhelm I transferred the castle back to the ducal family by means of a “highest decree”.

After the return of the ducal family

View around 1900. The palace lacks the dwelling here. The Kavaliershaus, on the other hand, still has curved gables

Duke Karl , a brother of King Christian IX, used the palace again as a permanent residence from 1871. When he moved in, he and his wife Wilhelmine were welcomed by the Friedrichsgarde . Since then, the castle has remained in the possession of the Glücksburg family and was almost always inhabited by the family and relatives.

As the successor to Duke Karl († 1863) still lived here:

One of the most famous regular guests was Auguste Viktoria , the last German Empress, who came from the closely related house of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg . She often stayed in Glücksburg, her sister Caroline Mathilde was married to Friedrich Ferdinand and Auguste Viktoria often visited her here. A series of rooms on the first floor is named after the Empress. Even Wilhelm II. Was a frequent guest, the castle but not lived in the rule, but slept during his stays on his yacht . In neighboring Mürwik he had the naval school Mürwik , the so-called Red Castle , built for the Imperial Navy from 1907 to 1910 , based on the model of the Marienburg Castle.

Glücksburg Castle remained the main residence of the ducal family until the 20th century, which only gradually moved to the mansions of the surrounding estates, such as Louisenlund or Grünholz .

The world wars

The Glücksburg buildings survived the world wars without major damage. Only the castle bells were confiscated and melted down during the First World War .

At the end of the Second World War , the nearby Flensburg - Mürwik became the seat of government under Dönitz (see special area Mürwik ). In the neighboring Glücksburg, Reich Minister Albert Speer took quarters in the palace, where he was arrested by the Allies on May 23, 1945 and initially brought to Flensburg. The castle served as a prison for 200 former members of the Wehrmacht until the summer of 1945 . The castle was looted by British troops in May 1945 and significant valuables were stolen (some of which were later returned). In addition, 32 coffins were opened in the crypt. The family of Friedrich Ferdinand zu Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg was arrested at gunpoint by British soldiers in the castle during the looting. Some of the stolen goods were returned after an express appeal by the British Queen in favor of her uncle.

The reopening of the palace and museum took place at Pentecost 1948.

The foundation and the museum

In 1922 the family transferred the castle to a foundation , the purpose of which was not only to preserve Glücksburg, but also to allow the public to participate in the cultural monument. In this context, a large part of the palace was converted into a museum, and since then concerts and other cultural events have taken place in the palace and in the orangery. Glücksburg is one of the venues for the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival .

The castle before the facade renovation

In the non-profit foundation statutes, the task of the foundation is formulated as follows:

The purpose of the foundation is to promote art and culture as well as monument protection. The purpose of the foundation is achieved in particular through the endeavor to preserve Glücksburg Castle and the inventory belonging to the foundation assets in accordance with the high cultural and historical status, to use them and to make them accessible to the public. ...

The board of the foundation is provided by the ducal family itself. The current managing director has been Christoph zu Schleswig-Holstein since 1980 . In addition to the family, the board of trustees also includes representatives of the state of Schleswig-Holstein and the district administrator of the Schleswig-Flensburg district . The family continues to have house rights . The foundation is responsible for the care and protection of the castle, which - like many moated castles - has to struggle with constant moisture. As a last major measure - after a legal dispute with the state regarding the assumption of costs - the facades of Glücksburg were comprehensively renovated from 2005 onwards. Half of the financial resources of around 440,000 euros came from the EU and the other half from the State Office for Monument Preservation , the German Foundation for Monument Protection , the Freundeskreis Schloss Glücksburg e. V. and various smaller foundations.

Building history

The building contract

A contract was signed with Nikolaus Karies on December 21, 1582 for the construction of the castle . Caries should as a master builder for Johann III. execute the demolition of the monastery and lead the work on the new building. The Duke provided him with 6,000 Luebian marks for the construction work - which at that time was the equivalent of around 1200 cattle.

Glücksburg was built in the immediate vicinity of the former monastery until 1587, some of which was removed from it and was to be reused as building material for the new castle. The former monastery grounds were flooded and dammed up into a large castle pond.

A typical mansion in Schleswig-Holstein

Occasionally French models are cited for the castle - the floor plan of the castle is similar to the central building of Chambord , for example - but it is a typical building of its era and region. It is a so-called multiple house , here in three variations, a characteristic design of Schleswig-Holstein from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance . "Sister buildings" can be found, for example, in the manor house of Nütschau and above all in Ahrensburg Castle, which was built almost at the same time . Of the multiple houses that have been preserved in Schleswig and Holstein, Glücksburg is the largest and probably the best known. The motto of the builder Johann III., G ott g ebe G lück m it F rieden is, by the letters G G G M F placed above the portal expressed. The name of the castle is derived from this.

The building was built in a stylistic transition period. While Johann's uncle Adolf I, for example, had more modern, three-winged buildings built with the palace in front of Husum or the palace in Reinbek , the nephew thought about traditional building forms in the country. And although it was planned and executed as a manorial residence, the location in the water, the loopholes-like openings in the tower basements, the originally crenellated towers and the high-lying first floor and the now-gone drawbridge of the courtyard still refer to a past in which a noble residence was also fortified had to be.

Execution

The building stands on a 2.5 meter high granite base and rises directly out of the water. The castle is made of white plastered brick, which was largely removed from the demolished monastery. The base area is a square with an edge length of almost 30 meters, consisting of three individual houses, each with its own floor plan and roof. While the middle house accommodated the large halls and the vestibule , the two side houses were provided with the living rooms. The palace chapel, the altar wall of which faces east, is the only room that was placed across the overall floor plan and is located in the east and middle house at the same time.

The corners of Glücksburg are emphasized by four eight-sided towers, each seven meters in diameter. The courtyard side of the castle is also preceded by two bay-like stair towers, which form the only connection between the upper floors. In total, the castle includes two halls, the vestibule, the castle chapel and twelve middle rooms, twelve tower rooms and eleven corner rooms. The total living space of the building is around 3,000 m².

The gable ends of the facades and also the mid-houses were once curved and provided with decorative elements typical of the Renaissance, but these decorations were removed in the 19th century in the course of a classicist purification, resulting in the castle's somewhat austere appearance today. In 1768 the middle roof was given the baroque rider , and the mid- houses that were removed in the 19th century were renovated from 1906 onwards. Apart from the changes to the decorations, the exterior of the castle has been largely unchanged for more than 400 years.

The interiors

The floors of the castle were once assigned to different functions. The design of most of the rooms goes back to the Baroque era; only some of the paintings from the time of construction have survived. Most of the furnishings in the palace were auctioned off in 1824 after the death of Anna Carolina or transferred to Berlin after the events of 1864. The furniture that can be viewed today is stylistically predominantly from the 19th century and was brought here from the Gottorf and Kiel palaces , among others . It is one of the richest collections of its kind in Schleswig-Holstein.

The basement

In the basement, which is about halfway below the water level, the kitchen and various storage rooms used to be located. The basement rooms have their own entrances so that staff or visitors to the palace chapel, which was later made public, do not have to enter the vestibule. The former prison is located under the entrance area on the first floor, but it was probably never used for this purpose.

The basement with the chapel

The basement contains the main entrance and is accessed via the castle bridge. The portal, framed by the stair towers, leads directly into the entrance hall, the vestibule known as the Green Hall . The green hall was always furnished in a very simple way, but the floor is remarkable , the footplates of which are made of Öland stone and show impressions of fossils in many places . The rooms adjoining the vestibule were once used as a chancellery and later also as living rooms; today the palace administration is housed here.

The castle chapel, view of the altar

The most remarkable room in the basement is the palace chapel. The chapel hall is the only room in the castle that extends over two of the long houses. It takes up a good quarter of the east and middle houses. In addition, the floor level of the chapel extends down to the basement, making it the only room that takes up more than one floor.

The church was originally furnished in the Renaissance style and still contains a pulpit altar and a baptism from the middle of the 17th century, both works by Claus Gabriel . Under Duke Philipp Ernst, the chapel was furnished in a baroque style around 1717, and in 1847 it received a Marcussen organ . During restoration work in 1973, frescos from the time it was built were uncovered. To the west of the chapel is the house crypt in which the last burial took place in 1811 and in which 38 members of the ducal family are buried. In the castle chapel is a smoke barrel from the 13th century, the last known piece of equipment from the destroyed monastery church.

The chapel also served as the official parish church of the city of Glücksburg until 1965. It is still used today for church services, weddings and baptisms. In the western tower room of the basement, civil weddings can be carried out in consultation with the castle administration.

The first floor with the red hall

Part of the red hall

The first floor is the actual living area; the ducal family's bedrooms and salons have been located here since it was built. The eastern rooms were originally assigned to the duke, the western rooms to his wife. However, this division was not maintained permanently.

The center of the floor is the richly furnished Red Room (including paintings by Antoine Pesne ) . The room got its name from the red wallpaper it was once covered with. The 30 meter long, ten meter wide and four meter high hall extends over the entire floor area of ​​the central building. The ornamentation of the vault is one of the earliest stucco work in Schleswig-Holstein. The room served as a salon and living room as well as a ballroom of the castle. It also served as a hallway, as four rooms lead off from it on either side of the houses on the side. Behind the corner rooms of the outer houses are the salons of the tower rooms. The Empress Tower and the Empress Salon are reminiscent of Auguste Viktoria.

The second floor

Not much is known about the use of the second floor at the time of construction, but it is believed that it was originally mainly used as a storage room and granary. This function resulted from the fact that in the time of John III. a tax in kind was quite common. The division follows the floor below: the middle house is also dominated by a large hall, with four rooms and the tower rooms adjoining each side. From the 18th century onwards, the storey contained a few guest rooms. The so-called Margrave's Room is a reminder of Margrave Friedrich Ernst , who served as governor of Schleswig-Holstein and temporarily lodged at Glücksburg. From 1857 the living quarters of the princes and princesses were set up on the upper floor.

The middle White Hall lacks the vaulted ceiling of its “red” counterpart, which makes it appear larger and deeper. Nevertheless, it is now less elaborately furnished, the most important jewelry is a collection of tapestries from 1740. The White Hall was often used as a dining room and is now used for concert performances.

Surroundings

The densely built-up town center of Glücksburg begins to the east on Schlossstrasse . Southwest of the castle pond are the last foothills of the Tremmeruper forest , which is part of a green belt that extends from the Flensburg harbor , over the Lautrupsbachtal , Adelby , the Vogelsang , Blocksberg and over the Tremmeruper forest to the castle. The following systems can also be found in the vicinity of the castle:

The farm yard

In front of the castle is a farm yard, which opens up as an outer bailey with a gatehouse, cavalier house and stables in front of the actual main building. For the work, Johann III. In 1585, his master builder Karies made another 1,600 Luebian marks available, the ensemble was completed in 1587. Like the castle itself, the ensemble of the Vorwerk is also typical of the rural architecture of the Schleswig-Holstein nobility at the time of the Renaissance. The outer bailey was partially destroyed in a fire in 1717, mainly the bakery and brewery that once bordered the fourth side of the courtyard facing the castle. The brewery was not rebuilt and an avenue was planted in its place. The lanterns in the courtyard are noteworthy, they come from the royal Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen and were erected in 1859.

The gatehouse once connected the island of the Vorwerk to the mainland via a drawbridge, this bridge was later exchanged for a fixed crossing. In addition to the actual main entrance to the castle area, the gatehouse was primarily used as a stable building and coach house . Today it houses the museum shop and the cash desk area.

The twelve-axis cavalier's house from 1685, facing west, was raised by one floor in the 18th century, and the curved gables of the attic were not added until 1856. As on the castle, the decorations were later removed again. Today the cavalier's house is used for private purposes and is inhabited.

The palace garden

Castle park with orangery (photo 2012)

A cloister garden already belonged to the Rüdekloster, but it was lost after the grounds were laid down and the castle pond was dammed. With the exception of a kitchen garden from 1622, the palace was only given a larger park area in the 18th century. Under the gardener Jürgen Lorentzen, a small pleasure garden was laid out on the site of the later rosarium from 1706 to 1709. Since Glücksburg is surrounded by water on three sides and the outer bailey is in front of the fourth side, the larger park was placed behind the outer bailey from 1733 without direct reference to the castle. This baroque garden essentially consisted of a large ground floor area , which was aligned with an orangery building erected in 1743 .

The orangery building in the palace gardens

Under the Duchess Anna Carolina , the formal decoration of the garden was abandoned in the 19th century and the green areas were redesigned according to English models . The baroque structure was largely retained, so that the framing avenues and the path system of the old garden have been preserved to this day. The orangery was renewed and received its present form from 1827. It is a classicist building with five axes, which is unusual for the region , with a small portico in the center . The orangery is now used for art exhibitions and concerts.

The garden area is open all year round and accessible to visitors free of charge.

The rosarium

The Glücksburger Rosarium was set up in 1990/91 right next to the palace garden, on the site of the former palace gardening facility. The former gardener's house forms the focal point. In the rosarium over 500 historical, English, climbing and wild roses are cultivated on an area of ​​just under one hectare.

The rosarium is no longer part of the public castle grounds and is privately managed, so access is chargeable.

The castle pond

The castle pond was artificially created in the 16th century by damming the water of the Schwennau and Munkbrarupau. It was supposed to protect the castle and at the same time served as a fish pond for food supply. As a result of the flooding, the former monastery grounds sank completely, the castle and the outer bailey were both completely surrounded by water after the complex was completed. Over the centuries silted the island with the bailey places, so lock and bailey today have a connection.

In 1962, 1969 and most recently in 2005, the pond was drained so that renovation work could be carried out on the palace facades. The foundations of the monastery church and the remains of a hypocaust system were discovered and excavations were made. Some of the exhibits from the excavations are on display in the castle.
