The hunting pavilion
historical overview
history
The small hunting pavilion was commissioned by Friedrich August I , Prince-Bishop of Lübeck and Duke of Oldenburg, for his wife Ulrica Friederike. The drafts came from the Eutin court builder Georg Greggenhofer , who also directed the construction.
The pavilion was built in 1776 on a hill between the Keller and Ukleisee lakes in the middle of the largely natural forest. The complex was created in a period of artistic transition: the castle itself is still built in late baroque forms , but the interior is already decorated in the style of early classicism . With the location, the client and builder oriented themselves to the theory of garden art according to Christian Cay Lorenz Hirschfeld . The location of the pavilion in the great outdoors represented a departure from the profound landscape design customary in the Baroque era. The hunting lodge served from the end of the 18th to well into the 19th century as a pleasure house for court festivities after hunting parties had ended and became idyllic for its idyllic setting Location praised. Wilhelm von Humboldt , who was a guest here once, described the views of the two lakes in his diary from 1796 as "divine".
20th century and present
In the course of the 20th century the view of the Kellersee to the west was increasingly built on, so that today the pavilion can only be seen from the direction of the Ukleisees. In 1937 the castle passed to the state of Schleswig-Holstein, which rented it to the city of Eutin in 1958, making it public. The house has been a listed building since 1965 . A renovation in the 1980s was followed by a further, complete renovation from 1994, which became necessary due to severe structural damage and mold growth. The cost was around 2.7 million DM. A foundation was set up to finance the work, which has been committed to maintaining the building to this day. In March 2007, the roof of the pavilion burned down completely, causing damage of around 100,000 euros. The necessary repairs have now been completed and the house is fully used again.
The Sielbeker Pavilion is part of the cultural life of the city of Eutin. Various concerts and exhibitions take place there, and the building is also rented out for civil weddings. The house is open to visitors in the summer months.
Architectural design
Georg Greggenhofer's small castle is a typical example of a late baroque maison de plaisance , a small pleasure house. It was used for entertainment purposes only and was not equipped for long stays. The pavilion is one of the few remaining pleasure palaces in Schleswig-Holstein, at most a counterpart can still be found in the Plön Prinzenhaus , which was not used as a hunting seat, but as a small garden house with intimate retreats.
The Sielbeck hunting lodge is only one storey and consists of a three-axis central building with a mansard roof and two lower, two-axis plastered side wings with hipped roofs . The building is made of timber -clad timber . The façades, which were originally oriented towards both lakes, are largely identical in their design. The central risalit has a round-arched door between four high pilasters , as well as a arched window to the left and right of it. A form of colossal order is achieved through the upper elliptical window openings, the so-called ox eyes . The small festivals illuminate the vaulted stucco of the ballroom with the incident light.
The floor plan of the house reveals a central ballroom that is flanked on both sides by two cabinets. In Greggenhofer's original design there was only one side salon, but the wing structures were widened in the course of the 19th century and the number of side rooms doubled. The ballroom itself is structured by pilasters. The stucco work comes from the court sculptor Johann Georg Moser. They show braids, garlands and rosettes in the early classical style. Two tall stoves face each other between the doors to the cabinet wings. In the context of public use, the installation of a cloakroom and a kitchen was just as necessary as the establishment of toilet rooms. In coordination with the Office for Monument Protection, the cabinets were converted and expanded for these purposes.
