history
From 1776 to 1793, Duke Carl Eugen of Württemberg had an English complex built for his then partner and later wife Franziska von Hohenheim , the so-called English village . Almost 35 hectares of park area were created around the facility by the 20th century.
In 1778 the Duke had rare foreign plants planted in Hohenheim, some of which can still be seen in the Exotic Garden today. Friedrich Schiller described the park of Hohenheim Palace as follows: “But the nature that we find in this English complex is no longer what we started from. It is nature inspired by spirit and exalted by art, [...] "

He still owns 18 large trees from the time of Karl Eugen and three historical buildings: the playhouse, the Roman inn and the ruins of the Three Pillars of Thundering Jupiter .
Since the turn of the millennium, the gardens have been supplemented by other buildings and sculptures.
