The hunting lodge Rominten was the hunting lodge of Kaiser Wilhelm II in Rominter Heide .

history

After Kaiser Wilhelm II had acquired the property, he had the property built in Scandinavian style from 1891 according to plans by Holm Hansen Munthe and Ole Sverre . Building materials and workers came from Norway. First the hunting lodge was built from red-stained spruce trunks, and in 1893 the Hubertus Chapel was built as a Norwegian stave wood church . In 1904 the hunting lodge was extended to include the Empress Wing and a tea house was built on the banks of the Rominte .

In 1914, Russian troops looted Wilhelm II's bed. After the Emperor's death in 1941, Hermann Göring forced the sale to the Prussian state and added the Reichsjägerhof Rominten, about two kilometers away, to the property . The planned destruction of the property at the end of the war did not take place. The hunting lodge and its inventory served the members of the 3rd Belarusian Front as a rest home. The building was moved to Luisenwahl in 1950 and serves as an office for the park administration. The other buildings were demolished. The bronze sculpture of the stag shot by Kaiser Wilhelm is in the Glinka Park in Smolensk .
