History and description
The pheasantry dates from around 1715. The builder was Landgrave Ernst Ludwig. It is walled with an approx. 2.5 meter high and approx. 0.5 meter thick quarry stone wall.
The pheasant breeding formerly belonged to the royal household of the hunting lodge at Kranichstein. Under the reign of Landgrave Ernst Ludwig - who was a passionate hunter - the pheasants - based on the French model - were no longer raised in the aviary , but in the walled pheasantry. In the so-called wild pheasantry the animals could live freely and were also hunted there.
The fall gate house on the Hirschköpf in Dieburger Straße and the Hirschköpfe itself also belong to the entire Fasanerie complex .
At the eastern corner of the Fasanerie is the former forester's house Fasanerie (the name of the forester's house at Kranichsteiner Straße 258 today ) This ensemble of buildings - in the immediate vicinity of the Oberwaldhaus - probably dates from around 1715. The Fasanerie forester's house was initially the seat of the pheasant hunters and pheasantry supervisors, but at the end of the 18th century it was converted into the Fasanerie district forester . Until the 1890s, the forester's house Fasanerie was a popular destination for Darmstadt's citizens. In 1898, the Forsthaus Fasanerie excursion restaurant was closed.
The Fasanerie Revierförsterei was closed in 1969.
The Hartig monument is at the center of the pheasantry .
