Rauischholzhausen Castle
Rauischholzhausen Castle , originally called Neu Potsdam , is a castle-like mansion on the southwestern outskirts of Rauischholzhausen , a district of the municipality of Ebsdorfergrund in Hesse . The castle is managed by the Justus Liebig University in Giessen , which uses it as a conference venue. The castle is surrounded by the 32 hectare castle park Rauischholzhausen , an English landscape garden that was created together with the construction of the castle between 1871 and 1876.
history
In 1873, the industrialist and legation secretary Ferdinand Eduard Stumm (1843–1925) , who later became ennobled , bought the area with meadows and forest areas. He had become very prosperous as a partner in the Stumm brothers and, in competition with his brothers Carl Ferdinand von Stumm and Hugo Rudolf von Stumm , who also had magnificent castles built ( Halberg and Ramholz Palace ), had the park and the palace built. The palace was named "New Potsdam". The architect Carl Schäfer was commissioned to plan the palace . The park was designed by Heinrich Siesmayer , the creator of the Frankfurt Palm Garden .
The castle has been a conference and training center for the Justus Liebig University in Giessen since 1949. The Hessian service center for agriculture, horticulture and nature conservation - Rauischholzhausen training seminar is also located there.
