Tschifflik summer residence

The pleasure palace Tschifflik (to Bulgarian чифлик , estate ' , from Turkish Çiftlik , farm ' ) in Two Bridges was in 1715 and 1716 by I. Stanislaus Leszczynski , the exiled King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1704-1709 and 1733-1736 ) built as a summer residence . The Swedish builder Jonas Erikson Sundahl planned and implemented the system based on his ideas . Tschifflik is a typical example of baroque garden architecture .

history

The facility was built at the time of Stanislaus' first exile, which he spent from 1714 to 1718 in Pfalz-Zweibrücken . The choice of the Turkish name Tschifflik probably goes back to Stanislaus' previous stay in Bender . The complex, which the royal family moved into in 1716, was sealed off from the outside world by a 4 km long and 2.50 m high surrounding wall and, in addition to the main house, included two residential buildings, a terrace complex with apartments, two utility houses and an extensive garden area with an open-air stage and varied water systems . Stanislaus and Sundahl based their planning on the given terrain east of the city, marked by aisles, and used the natural structure to create the flow of the water features exclusively physically and mechanically. The plans, especially those for the garden, could not, however, be fully implemented during Stanislaus' stay.

In 1728, Duke Gustav Samuel Leopold had the summer residence, which Stanislaus had not fully realized, completed by the architect Sundahl. In the following interregnum after his death, the complex disintegrated in part and was not revived until the time of Duke Christian IV . Christian commissioned the garden architect Johann Ludwig Petri with a contemporary renovation and expansion of Tschifflik. Petri oriented himself among other things on the English horticultural art .

After the French Revolution , the area was given to the Zweibrücken State Stud for use. The original facility fell victim to practical requirements and fell into disrepair. In 1887 the city of Zweibrücken acquired the land. To the north of the area was the former Tschifflik mill and still today the former Tschifflick-Niederauerbach train station .

Pheasantry

From 1757 to 1769 a pheasantry was set up in the garden . Today the area is better known to the locals under the name Fasanerie than under the original name Tschifflik and with this name it covers the entire forested area. The Fasaneriebergstraße divides this forest into two unequal halves. On the one hand in the smaller Luitpoldpark , which has the ruins mentioned below in its northernmost corner and east of the Fasaneriebergstraße in the so-called Ehrbusch in which there is a hut of the Palatinate Forest Association ( Contwiger hut and also known as the Hahnberg hut ).

In this area in the north is the ruin of a tower hill castle from the early 12th century with the foundation walls of a rectangular tower house, two cisterns, circular wall, shield wall of the outer castle and neck ditch.

Garden side of the Hotel Fasanerie

In the 1930s, the site was revitalized with the establishment of a tourist restaurant; today there is a hotel there. In the 1970s a wild rose garden was laid out, which is connected to the Zweibrücker rose garden via the "Rosenweg" . At the same time, a small castle complex was uncovered at the northern end of the area, the construction of which is dated to the early 12th century.

The listed historical pheasant garden, which gave its name to today's local recreation area “Fasanerie”, was largely renewed by the city of Zweibrücken with support from the EU from 2006 to May 2008 as part of the newly created “Gardens and Landscape” theme trail. During the renovation, the baroque origins were combined with modern uses in the sense of a local recreation area . Tschifflik is one of the sights of the Baroque Street Saar-Palatinate .
