The hunting lodge Lassmichinruh north-west of Ramsen , on the outskirts of the Eisenberg district of Stauf ( Donnersbergkreis , Rhineland-Palatinate ) in the Palatinate Forest served as a hunting lodge for the then NS Gauleiter Josef Bürckel for a leisure stay. The current owner is the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.

history

Josef Bürckel (1895–1944), who came from Lingenfeld in the Palatinate , was NSDAP Gauleiter in his homeland from 1925 . In 1935 the district was enlarged to include the Saarland and from then on was called Saar-Pfalz, later Westmark . He held the high office of the party until his death in 1944. From 1935 onwards, his office and residence was Villa Böhm in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse . In the Palatinate Forest near Ramsen, Bürckel, a passionate hunter, had a comfortable hunting lodge built around the same time. In reference to the historic Palatinate hunting lodges Kehrdichannasst , Schaudichnichtum and Murrmirnichtviel , he called it Lassmichinruh . He also put this name on the balcony on the front. There are historical photos of the property from 1937. In that year the house was definitely completed.

Bürckel often spent his free time here with party friends and greats of the Nazi regime. Old residents of the village reported that the hunting enthusiast Hermann Göring had been there several times as a guest.

The hunting lodge was expropriated after the end of the Nazi era and today belongs to the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is a bit run down, but structurally well preserved (2016).

Building stock

The property is located between Ramsen and the Göllheimer Häuschen in the forest, west of state road 396 . It is built into a slope sloping to the southwest and has a good view. The representative house has two floors , with a ground floor made of grouted red sandstones and two wooden floors with beautiful carving decorations. On the first floor there is a spacious veranda, to which an additional external stone staircase leads to the north. In the middle, the veranda has an alcove-like extension into the interior of the house, presumably in order to be able to sit outside, regardless of the weather. The second floor has an oval balcony that bulges outwards. The house name Lassmichinruh, which has now disappeared, was once attached to it. A carved hare and a hunting dog that used to frame the name tag have been preserved. The protruding rafters on the front are decorated with carved plants. The outer walls of the two wooden floors consist of clapboard -like, massive and brightly painted wooden boards. On the ground floor (outside area) the remains of a contemporary, tiled swimming pool can still be seen under the veranda .
