Wolfgang hunting lodge

The hunting lodge Wolfgang was a hunting lodge of the Counts of Hanau in the (today's) Wolfgang state forest.

Geographical location

The building is in the district of Hanau , Hesse , in the Wolfgang district . It is located away from the built-up area in the forest and is now part of the Wolfgang Forestry Office. The postal address is: Rodenbacher Chaussee 10a.

building

The hunting lodge was built under the last Count of Hanau, Johann Reinhard III. , Built in 1715 near the ruins of the late medieval monastery of St. Wolfgang .

It is a simply designed, six-axis, two-story, baroque building, the central entrance of which is only slightly emphasized. It was built in half-timbered houses and is plastered. It is covered by a mansard roof . The historic staircase still exists. Otherwise nothing of the presumably originally simple equipment has been preserved. In addition, feeding on the building emphasizes swathe the baroque idea of a visual axis .

After the annexation of the Electorate of Hesse and Hanau by the Kingdom of Prussia after the war of 1866 , the administration of the forest was reorganized according to Prussian ideas in 1868 and a chief forester was set up, today's Hessian Forestry Office Wolfgang. Since then, the building has served the forestry office as an administrative building.

The former hunting lodge is now a cultural monument under the Hessian Monument Protection Act .
