Baroque and Rococo also became established as architectural styles in the Duchy of Berg in the 18th century, especially during the reign of Elector Karl Theodor . The new architectural style found important models in the Jägerhof Palace planned by Johann Joseph Couven and in the Benrath Palace designed by Nicolas de Pigage . Master builders and craftsmen applied this style to bourgeois secular and sacred buildings as well as furniture in this room by transferring traditional building constructions and building materials, in particular the half-timbered house clad in slate , into the new forms, while maintaining the Bergische Dreiklang , the typical color canon of regional architecture has been. This is how a baroque or rococo version of the typical Bergisch house was created . In the historicism of the second half of the 19th century and in the heritage architecture of the early 20th century, the Bergische Baroque ended in the so-called Neuberg style .
