Ludwigsruhe
Ludwigsruhe is an estate in Hohenlohe and a district of the city of Langenburg in the Schwäbisch Hall district in Baden-Württemberg . Until August 11, 1761, the place was called Lindenbronn, after which it was renamed after the builder of the pleasure palace , Ludwig, Graf zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg .
history
The area of the hamlet of Lindenbronn, which was sold in the 14th century, came to the Hohenlohe- Langenburg house in 1556 . In the following years they had a 28 hectare hunting park laid out, which was also surrounded by a wall in 1750.
From 1736 Count Ludwig zu Hohenlohe-Langenburg had a summer residence built directly at the hunting park based on plans by Leopoldo Retti . Retti's original design was based on the forms of Parisian urban architecture at the beginning of the 18th century and was only implemented in a simplified manner. The result was a two-story, plastered hunting lodge with a little protruding central projectile and a mansard hipped roof . Inside the castle is equipped with a few utility rooms, a garden and dining room on the ground floor, a larger hall on the upper floor and three residential apartments. This corresponds entirely to the type of maison de plaisance, which was also invented in France . In Ludwigsruhe, elements of the Ansbach court architecture, Ludwigsburg frame structures and drilled window frames that cannot be explained in terms of origin are mixed in the facades . Construction was completed in 1743 and the entire place was renamed Ludwigsruhe after the builder. During or shortly after the completion of the palace, a star-shaped network of paths was laid out in the park, which leads to a monument to the deceased Prince Christian Albrecht von Hohenlohe-Langenburg , the son of Ludwig. In the 19th century a Swiss factory (= dairy) belonged to the estate.
Gut and Schloss Ludwigsruhe have been privately owned since 1980 and can be rented for events.
