history
The Prince of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg received in 1803 after the secularization , in the course of the Peace of Lunéville , as compensation for the areas on the left bank of the Rhine (including Rochefort and Virneburg ) lost to France , possessions of the Neustadt am Main monastery . With the former monastery property, the forest between Bischbrunn and Rothenfels, the Löwensteiners not only had the right to hunt, but also the rights to fish in the Hafenlohr and Wachenbach.
The former monastery forest was largely converted into a fenced game park between 1817 and 1819. Prince Carl zu Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg gave the order to enclose over 3000 hectares of forest area with a 34-kilometer park fence. The prince had the forest houses Faun , Sylvan , Aurora , Diana and Fürstenbrücke as well as the gatehouses Breitfurt , Hubertus and Schleifthor built around the wildlife park . Further entrances to the wildlife park were the Neustädter Tor and the Schwarze Tor. The forester's house Carlshöhe with hunting lodge was also completed in the middle of the park . The new forester's house already existed. The Fürstlich Löwensteinsche Wildlife Park bordered the Royal Bavarian Wildlife Park to the west .
The seat of the Princely Forestry Office was relocated from Rothenfels Castle to Lindenfurt in 1850 . It has been in Einsiedel since 1977 .
