Preußische Gärten /Prussian Gardens
Produktform: Buch / Einband - fest (Hardcover)
The Prussian gardens in Berlin, Potsdam, and
elsewhere in Brandenburg: for the first time, texts
and photographs present an overall view of all the
gardens and parks created under the Hohenzollerns
over a period of more than three centuries.
Only the cross-genre collaborative effort of garden
designers, gardeners, architects, scenographers,
sculptors, painters, and creative rulers, the
most prominent of whom were Frederick II and
Frederick William IV, made it possible 'to turn the
environs of Berlin and Potsdam […] step by step
into a garden', as Frederick William IV put it in
1840. Figures such as David Garmatter, Friedrich
Christian Glume, Siméon Godeau, Georg Wenzeslaus
von Knobelsdorff, Peter Joseph Lenné,
Antoine Pesne, Prince Hermann von Pückler-
Muskau, Georg Potente, Karl Friedrich Schinkel,
the Sello brothers, and Antoine Watteau – picked
from a whole cornucopia of names – indicate the
spectrum of artistic forces that created the Prussian
garden realm.
Impatient with his royal client, who had once
again cut his funding, Lenné alluded to the high
standard of princely landscape art: 'Your Majesty
still does not understand how ingenious my idea
is.' The present volume is an attempt to examine
the 'ingeniousness of the idea' specifically inherent
in the gardens of the Hohenzollerns in
Prussia.
Until his retirement, Hillert Ibbeken was professor
of geology at the Freie Universität Berlin. He
has been involved in architecture and landscape
photography throughout his life. His book Karl
Friedrich Schinkel. Das architektonische Werk
heute / The architectural work today, edited in cooperation
with Elke Blauert, was published by
Edition Axel Menges in 2001. Later there followed,
in the same format, this time with him as sole editor,
his monographs on Ludwig Persius (2005) and
Friedrich August Stüler (2006), and, among others,
Schlösser der Weserrenaissance / Castles of
the Weser Renaissance (2008), edited in co-operation
with Michael Bischoff, as well as Das andere
Italien / The other Italy. Geschichten und Bilder aus
Ligurien und Kalabrien / Stories and pictures from
Liguria and Calabria (2011). Katja Schoene is an
art historian and museologist. She was formerly
