Johann Friedrich Reichert
Johann Friedrich Reichert or Johannes Reichert (died 1797 in Weimar ) was a court gardener from Saxony-Weimar .
He held this office from 1777 to 1796. In contrast to the court gardeners Carl Heinrich Gentzsch and Johann Gottlieb Bleidorn , Reichert was considered a somewhat difficult person who was not considered particularly original or creative in terms of gardening, but who had excellent botanical knowledge , which Goethe also valued, is not responsible for the park on the Ilm or Tiefurt , but for Belvedere . Actually, Reichert had the park development through its nursery garden and its extensive cultivation of domestic and foreign trees and shrubs and through its plant deliveries, according to Wolfgang Huschkerendered valuable services to the Ilmpark. It was also Reichert who was commissioned by Carl August to design the garden that surrounded the dilapidated house that was to become Goethe's garden house in 1776. In 1796 Johann Conrad Sckell succeeded Reichert as gardening inspector in Belvedere.
