The Castle Delitzsch is located in the northern Saxon town of Delitzsch and is one of the oldest castles in the northwest of Saxony . The building and the adjoining garden area are integrated into the planned historical district, in which a main street runs south of the castle grounds. Consisting of a mansion , a small north-west and a larger adjacent wing to the north-east, it was built and architecturally changed in several phases. From the original building from the middle of the 12th century, only the foundations have been preserved. The oldest surviving components include two underground cellars and the tower, which the Margrave of Meißen , Wilhelm I , had built from 1389.

Built on the foundations of a Gothic moated castle, the complex served the Wettins from 1387 to 1540 as an administrative and travel residence. The castle was then converted into a Renaissance castle by the Saxon electors from 1540 to 1558 and inhabited by them during their travels. The exterior of the complex was last changed at the end of the 17th century, which gave it its baroque appearance. From then on, it was used by the Principality of Saxony-Merseburg as a widow's and traveler's residence.

After a stage-by-stage restoration from 1993, the Baroque Delitzsch Palace is now used as a museum, tourist information office , registry office , branch of the “Heinrich Schütz” district music school in Northern Saxony and a supraregional event location. The cultural monument is owned by the city of Delitzsch.

Building history

Wilhelm I of Meissen

In the 9th / 10th In the 19th century, Slavic Sorbs built a wooden castle on the area of ​​today's palace gardens under the protection of the Loberbach loop. In the early phase of the eastern colonization under King Heinrich I , the area between the Saale and Elbe came under the rule of German ministerials who built a stone castle guard on the neighboring hill instead of the wooden Slavic castle . In the protection of the extended castle, an early urban Slavic settlement of craftsmen and merchants was established in the northern outer bailey in 1140/50. Around 1200 the castle developed into the seat of a lower judicial district . For the period between 1207 and 1224, three days of courtship and denial of the Margraves of Meißen and Landgraves of Thuringia are documented. In addition to its function as an administrative and bailiff's seat, the castle complex also served as a travel residence for the Wettins.

After the death of Friedrich III. In 1381, Wilhelm I and his brother Balthasar von Wettin carried out the so-called division of Chemnitz , in which he received the Margraviate of Meissen as an inheritance. He then had the stone Burgward rebuilt from 1387 to 1391 into a fortified moated castle in the Gothic style, the existence of which is still indicated by the castle tower and two underground cellars. The castle was located on a mountain and was surrounded by a moat that was connected to the city wall and moat and could only be crossed by a bridge. Margrave Wilhelm I used the castle complex as one of his most popular sovereign travel residences. In this function it served the Saxon rulership until the 16th century and to accommodate the lordly administrative offices.

Under the Albertine Duke Moritz von Sachsen , the castle was rebuilt between 1540 and 1558 in the Renaissance style for the Electors of Saxony. The preliminary construction completion was formed by the negotiations of the electoral land rent master about the purchase of the castle moat from the city of Delitzsch. As in previous decades, numerous visitors from the Saxon rulers who used the castle as a place of residence on their travels are documented. For example, stayed there in 1600 Landgrave Moritz of Hesse and was the bailiff hosts. On November 2, 1616, Johann Georg I was the last elector to stay in the castle for the time being. In contrast to most of the lordly palaces of the Electorate of Saxony, the Delitzsch Palace survived the Thirty Years' War largely unscathed, but its appearance was damaged due to the billeting of Swedish mercenary associations. After the peace treaty of 1648 , Electoral Saxony was economically and socially ailing. It took a great deal of effort to reorganize administration and finance mainly at the regional level. This included the restoration of the administration building. In this context, the Delitzsch Castle was repaired again in 1652.

Christian I of Saxe-Merseburg

When the Saxon Elector Johann Georg I died in 1656 , a de facto division of Saxony was carried out according to his will from 1652. In addition to the remaining electoral principality, there were also three so-called secondogenitures , which also included the duchy of Saxony-Merseburg with the area around Delitzsch. This duchy came under the rule of Duke Christian I , who expanded the old bishop's palace in Merseburg into his residence and the palace in Delitzsch into his wife's future widow's residence. At the beginning, on the instructions of the ducal councilors, the Delitzsch office had to leave the living and working rooms in the castle. For this purpose, new service buildings were built in the castle district in the following years, which still exist today. The first construction work began on June 24, 1689 under the direction of court mason Simon Juffan. The focus was on the expansion of the representative royal house, which in the main floor should take up the apartment of the royal widows and reception and guest rooms. The building was designed in the style of the Saxon early baroque, whereby the castle tower was put on a baroque hood in 1695. This so-called Welsche Haube was and is the hallmark of the castle. The large weather vane with the initials CW (for Christianas Wittum ) and the princely hood used to refer to Christiana's residence, visible from afar. The last construction work was completed in 1696. However, the already widowed Duchess Christiana von Sachsen-Merseburg and her court of around 30 people moved into the palace on May 31, 1692 and in the same year had today's palace gardens laid out based on French models in the immediate vicinity of the palace.

Moritz Wilhelm von Sachsen-Merseburg and Henriette Charlotte von Nassau-Idstein

After the death of Duchess Christiane in 1701, the Merseburg ducal house only occasionally used the castle as a travel residence. It was not until 1731 to 1734 that the palace was regularly used as a residence again when the art-loving Duchess Henriette Charlotte , born Princess of Nassau-Idstein and widow of Duke Moritz Wilhelm von Sachsen-Merseburg , moved in. Even before Henriette Charlotte moved in on November 30, 1731, the princely couple stayed at Delitzsch Palace after their wedding in November 1711. Duke Moritz Wilhelm died in Merseburg on April 21, 1731, without leaving any descendants. After the funeral festivities, which lasted several days, his widow retired to Delitzsch Castle, where Duke Heinrich had previously arranged the redesign work requested by Henriette Charlotte. Henriette Charlotte influenced the interior design and brought her private treasury collection with her. The representative doors, the printed linen wallpaper and the chimneys in the ducal private apartments date from this time. The Duchess died in the palace on April 8, 1734 and was buried on May 4 at her request in front of the altar of the town church of St. Peter and Paul . Since the couple had no descendants, the Sachsen-Merseburg secondary school reverted to the Electorate of Saxony in 1738 . Delitzsch Castle is the only architectural monument in Saxony-Merseburg on what is now the territory of the Free State of Saxony.

A large part of the stately furniture was brought to Hubertusburg Palace on September 17, 1755 . Only a few years later there was another bloodletting : “On the instructions of the Saxon administrator, Prince Franz Xaver , in 1767 the Delitzsch house marshal and official secretary Müller had to deliver the old church ornaments from the palace chapel to Dresden, where it was sold in the inventory from other holdings of sovereign palaces to be dissolved On the other hand, all the fixtures and fittings such as chimneys, stoves, window and plinth panels , wallpaper and the parquet flooring of the castle were preserved. Until 1770 the castle belonged to the “Hauß Marschall-Office” in Dresden , then it was transferred to the electoral chamber. After the renovations carried out in 1785, it was used as a judicial and rent office for administrative purposes, all fixtures in the castle chapel were removed and the altar and pulpit were sold to Hohenroda . The chapel was initially used as an archive before being demolished a few years later. The stone arbor , which was built to the north , was only demolished together with the stone parapet in 1813.

After a very eventful history in the 18th and 19th centuries. In the 19th century, only the Prussian military used the rooms of the castle, until 1849 as a garrison of a Prussian Landwehr regiment and until 1860 as an artillery school . In 1855, the government in Merseburg decided to convert the building, which had been supplemented by various new buildings, into a prison . In December 1860, after several construction interruptions in several buildings in the castle district, regular operations as a women's penitentiary began. Its catchment area extended to the entire Prussian province of Saxony . Mostly women were accommodated who had to serve several years to life imprisonment. The dormitories and workrooms of up to 300 women were set up in the castle building itself. In the current building of the city ​​administration there were isolation and hospital cells, guard apartments and the prison church. The management of the penitentiary was located in the building of today's restaurant Zur Schloßwache . The penal institution existed until it was closed in 1926, only briefly interrupted in 1866, when the castle served as a hospital for several months as a hospital for wounded soldiers from the German-Austrian War .

After the prison was closed, the city of Delitzsch began negotiating with the government in Merseburg in 1928 to purchase the entire palace complex in order to build a new hospital on the site . The purchase agreement was concluded in 1929, but the global economic crisis prevented all further measures in the same year . Due to the subsequent economic development, emergency housing for the homeless had to be set up in the building of the city administration and the museum, a library and later also a vocational school moved into the castle building . On April 5, 1931, the museum was given an "Ehrenberg Room", in which a large part of the collections of the Delitzsch naturalist Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg was housed.

From 1974 to 1993 the building was closed by the police to the public due to considerable damage to the structure of the palace. In the summer of 1993, the museum in the castle tower and in some rooms of the ducal apartment was reopened after the first extensive modernization measures. By 2005 the tourist information office, the registry office, the district music school and an event cellar moved into the castle building. In 2008 the extensive renovation of the building, which took almost 20 years, was completed. A castle festival has been held every year in May / June since 2002 under the motto Vive le plaisir (Long live pleasure).

In 2019, more than 13,500 visitors visited the permanent and special exhibitions in the museum.

description

Mansion

Manor house with donor portal and obelisk

The actual mansion is the central four-story main wing of the two-winged palace complex. The facades of the wing formerly known as the “Princely House” are painted yellow, cornices and window and door frames are set off in white. On the south side of the gable roof above the third floor there are two one-storey dwarf houses and eleven dormers , on the north side a two-storey dwarf house connected to the stairwell and 14 dormers. The eastern side wing has eight dormer windows. In total, the castle has over 100 windows. The main entrance is the Stifter portal , to which a stone bridge almost 15 meters long and five meters high leads.

In 1691, most of the renovation work on the manor house to create a baroque palace was completed. The portal is framed by two free-standing pillars backed by pilasters , each with a large acanthus leaf on the base . Tulips, sunflowers, grapes and acanthus leaves are depicted on the stone door arch. A large agraffe is also noticeable there. This keystone-like volute at the transition between the arch and the cornice is set with an acanthus leaf and a bow decorated with pearls. The holder of the cartouche with the coats of arms of the Electorate of Saxony, the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and the Merseburg Monastery are two black lions as typical rulers. Above them, acanthus leaves, volutes, corn on the cob, grapes and pomegranates surround the shield with the donor's motto, above which the prince's hat with ermine trimmings and beaded bow sits enthroned on a large sunflower. The stone carvings can be attributed to the Merseburg court sculptor Christian Trothe, whose presence in Delitzsch is documented until 1697. The paired obelisks on the palace bridge, which are based on ancient Egyptian models, are typical of palace buildings in the principality . Two pairs of putti on their pillars bear the Saxon and Holstein coats of arms, above them elongated obelisks tower into the sky, crowned with balls from which flames beat and wrapped with grape-bearing vines. They were completed on October 30, 1695.

Castle tower and cellar vault

The square, approximately 50 meter high castle tower is located on the southeast corner of the manor house. Originally built as a medieval defense tower , it is now part of the palace complex. In terms of defense, it was advantageously built from brick and was not plastered until the Baroque era. Its external appearance today is the same as that of the manor house. In 1695 the baroque tower was given its onion-shaped Welsche dome, in which kestrels have been nesting for 100 years . In the tower, exhibitions on the history of the city can be seen on several floors , with the floors being connected by cast-iron spiral staircases from the 19th century and more recent wooden stairs. From the top level there is a broad view of the landscape. From there a wooden staircase leads to the baroque tower dome, which is not open to the public.

Below the palace foyer there are two basement floors, one above the other. The two deepest cellars of the castle have a barrel vault and were already there in the 14th century. The castle's prison dungeons were probably located there. The basement above consists of several rooms. These were used as workrooms for the incarcerated women in the period from 1860 to 1926. Exhibits from this period are a cell facility, the altar of the prison church and a huge laundry shortage. In addition, the visitor can get an impression of the jurisdiction of the past 600 years in the Delitzscher area.

The eastern side wing of the manor house, mainly used as a farm building, was added to the north side of the tower. In the Baroque era, the ground floor there used to be a kitchen and laundry, and rooms for the servants on the upper floor. The rooms were for the castle operation in the 16./17. Century of enormous importance, which suggests that this side wing was completed in 1692 when Christianes moved in. Today most of the premises are used by the Delitzsch district music school.

inside rooms

Eleven rooms of the manor house are furnished with historical furniture, everyday objects and works of art from the 17th / 18th centuries. Century and can be visited during a tour of the castle. The other rooms partly serve the city archive, the district music school, the tourism information and the registry office. Nevertheless, a large part of the stately furniture was brought to Hubertusburg Palace after the death of the last Princess of Saxony-Merseburg, Henriette Charlotte . The rooms with historical inventory are all located on the second floor. The exception is the castle kitchen, which is located on the left hand side of the entrance to the museum, i.e. one floor below the ducal bel étage . The silver chamber was originally located here until 1738, but it disappeared after the death of the last widow who lived in the castle. Instead, due to the current distribution of space, the kitchen was moved from the side wing north of the castle tower to the current vaulted room. Various workplaces and exhibits, such as the stove, baking area, meat processing, cabbage grater and a herb kiln, are exhibited there as installations.

Castle kitchen (former silver room)

The second floor covers an area of ​​almost 1000 square meters, divided into twelve rooms, whereby the two rooms north of the castle tower do not belong to the museum. The entire princely apartment still has the original parquet flooring from 1696 and, apart from the antechamber, the small hall and the rotunda for temporary exhibitions, is equipped with printed Italian linen wallpaper from 1731. Due to the good diagnosis situation, these are unique in Central Germany . The largest room on the ducal bel étage, the Great Baroque Hall , is the first museum room that is entered from the castle tower. At that time it was used as a larger dining room by the Dowager Dows. With the ensemble of paintings, carvings and furniture, he gives an idea of ​​the decoration requirements of the founder Christiane von Sachsen-Merseburg. These include exhibits from the former royal box in the town church. With the baroque high altar , part of this composition was sold in 1889. The fruit sticks designed as a garland , the cartouches with the initials CW and the Saxon-Holstein alliance coat of arms are in the eastern side of the room there are eleven angel sculptures making music. The group, created around 1720, probably comes from a south German or Tyrolean organ prospect and shows typical features of the high baroque with curly hair, golden drapery and wings. At the end of 2016, the hall walls were designed with fireplace red fabric wallpaper based on the historical model. The measure was funded by the “Kulturraum Leipziger Raum” and cost around 36,000 euros.

Large baroque hall (before its redesign in 2016)

To the right of the baroque hall is the second largest room in the princely apartment, the hall for temporary exhibitions , which was originally used as a large table room. The food could be brought in directly from the kitchen in the side wing through a door that is no longer available today. The conversion for museum purposes took place in the 19th century. There are regularly changing special exhibitions on the cultural, political and economic history of the region.

West of the Great Baroque hall is the antechamber . This room is characterized by two representational paintings depicting Friedrich August II and his wife Maria Josepha . Another special feature are the two smaller, oval paintings opposite the window front. One shows the Annunciation, the other is a rare image of the princely couple Christian and Christiane of Sachsen-Merseburg.

Prepared

The audience room , the living and reception room in the apartment of the princely widows, has star-shaped inlays in the parquet and a black marble fireplace, above which an ornate stucco attachment rises to the ceiling. The exhibited on the chimney consoles precious objects from ceramics illustrate the Asia enthusiasm in the Baroque and Rococo. A particularly decorative painting is the hunt by the painter Lambert de Hond Extract for the Hunt , a baroque work of art with the light-shadow contrasts typical of Dutch painting.

Audience room

The dressing room and bathroom (then: Retirade ) is located on the southwest side of the piano nobile. As in the audience room, there is also a fireplace here. The so-called Rococo oven made of ceramic and cast iron is located on the right, opposite the window front, in a stuccoed conical shell decorated with filigree bands . The inventory from 1735 also provides detailed information about the movable furnishings. After that, all the windows were framed with curtains made of white canvas. Decorations of the wall surfaces made of simple wooden panels in the base area and in the window niches of the audience and dressing room appeared more noble at the time thanks to a walnut glaze .

Right next to the dressing room and bathroom which is slack-chamber . The small room that was not heated at the time shows grisaille paintings on a green background on the wall plinth and in the window frames . With the same ornamental design, they are also found on the inside of the double-leaf entrance door. A special feature is the inlay in the panel parquet with the year 1696 and the initials CW , crowned by a prince's hat. This room served the widows as a bedroom. The bed has twisted pillars that support a canopy and architectural elements such as indicated pilasters with fluting and capitals , colored frames and climbing acanthus leaves.

In addition to the dressing room and bedroom, Bets-Stübgen and Bibliothec were further intimate rooms of the princely apartment and are located north of the second-mentioned. The widow was able to hold her daily morning and evening prayers in the small prayer room. The single-leaf door with the two panel paintings shows iconographically the sacred purpose of this room. The neighboring library was originally equipped with several bookcases, but nothing is known about the princesses' book collection.

The taffle room , located between the bedroom and the prayer room or the former entrance to the bel étage , was the smaller of the two dining rooms of the princely apartment. The room, designed entirely in blue and white, offered space for multi-course meals. In this room there is a white showcase and a dining table for five people as well as a painting by Duchess Henriette Charlotte.

Table chamber

Between the table room and the rotunda for temporary exhibitions is another windowless room (back then: on the Saale ), which served as the entrance to the bel étage in the 17th and 18th centuries . The noble residents and their guests reached the main floor via the four-story stair tower attached to the rear of the palace . When you arrive in the room, the large table room is on the left, the small table room on the right. In this area, the two single-wing doors, painted with landscapes of ruins, by an unknown artist and an old portrait of the manor owner and lawyer Dr. Christian Schulze. Around 1730, he distinguished himself as the founder of the baroque redesign of the Delitzsch Marienkirche.

Small Hall

Baroque garden

Drafts and designs

Floor plan around 1740

As early as 1540, parallel to the conversion of the castle into a renaissance castle, a garden was laid out, the remains of which were removed by the princely dowager Christiane von Sachsen-Merseburg when a new baroque garden was built. The royal court gardener Andreas Gotthard Carl , who presented his first drafts in 1692, was hired to plan and design it . A symmetrical arrangement of the garden could not be realized because of the palace forecourt, which already served as a courtyard for carriages and carts . The baroque garden was laid out on the property west of the palace.

The palace park , designed according to the scheme of classic baroque gardens, was to consist in its basic structure of a large roundabout and a radial path system. The main entrance to the garden was on the main path to the castle, where linden trees were planted. From one point a radial system of paths led to two parterres de broderie . The avenue system was kept so strictly symmetrical that the middle of the seven paths at the time met the south-eastern roundabout district. The alley-like planting of the paths was a special feature. The limited space required a combination of kitchen and pleasure garden , so the paths were lined with fruit trees. This meant that the garden, which was separated from the rest of the castle district by a natural stone wall and which was actually only intended to be used by the nobility to “stroll”, was also accessible to the service staff.

The roundabout formed from Broderieparterres in the northern part of the garden consisted of four quarters of the same size that were laid out as ornamental beds. The borders of these beds were made up of goose and currant bushes as well as lavender, valerian and sage. In the middle of the roundabout there was probably a larger statue or fountain than a concise point de vue . The fact that the ornamental beds were arranged by Carl in four quarters in a roundabout is due to the location of the property available. In addition to this roundabout, he had created a trapezoidal tapis vertes for the southern corner of the garden property, which is no longer preserved today and which featured two acanthus ornaments as a symmetrical bed. These simple lawns, also known as Boulingrin , were used for ball games by the ducal family and their guests. In the entire garden area, especially at the ends of the avenues and in the middle of the roundabout, there were a total of ten vases, two large and 14 small statues and six stone benches. Vines were planted on part of the garden wall, which also formed the city wall . On March 16, 1693, Christiane von Sachsen-Merseburg walked through her pleasure garden for the first time . During the stay of Duchess Henriette Charlotte at Delitzsch Palace, the palace gardener J. M. Purths looked after the baroque green area.

In the 19th century the entire area was redesigned into small-scale vegetable and fruit gardens, and later barracks and an open-air cinema were also built. In 1943, French prisoners of war built an air raid shelter with three entrances below today's gardens . Little is known about its use during the war. After the end of the war it was used as a food store for soldiers on the instructions of the Soviet city ​​commanders . From the beginning of the 1960s, the bunker was intended to be used for civil defense in the event of a nuclear attack . The equipment that is still scarce today also dates from this time.

Present shape

View from the castle tower to the baroque garden

The baroque garden in its present form is a largely identical imitation of the complex created by Andreas Gotthard Carl in the 17th century. From 1996 to 2000 it was reconstructed on the basis of an original plan from the first half of the 18th century. The gardens to the southwest of the palace cover an area of ​​around 110 × 115 meters. A good two thirds of the green area is still surrounded by the city fortifications from the 15th century. The remaining third is separated from the rest of the castle district by a low hedge. There are still four paths from the originally radial path system, which are lined with maple trees. There are extensive lawns between these paths. The roundabout formed as a broderieparterre is divided into four roundabouts by a four-part system of paths and takes up a good half of the green space. The roundel quarters have crown-like ornaments , which are highlighted by colored broken bricks. The edging of the roundabouts and ornaments were formed by box hedges . In the middle of the rondel there is a sugar loaf spruce . The then trapezoidal broderie ground floor south of the garden could not be restored in the new construction, as the area was already privately owned and parking spaces were set up there.
