Places to see in ( Ludwigsburg - Germany )
Ludwigsburg is a city just north of Stuttgart, in southwest Germany. The baroque Ludwigsburg Residential Palace houses ceramics and fashion museums. Its landscaped gardens are known as “Blooming Baroque.” Surrounded by woodland, the 18th-century Ludwigsburg Favorite Palace, once Duke Eberhard Ludwig’s summer residence, has neoclassical interiors. Northwest, Monrepos Lakeside Palace was a hunting lodge of the Duke.
At the start of the 18th century Duke Eberhard Louis of Württemberg built an “Ideal City” up the Neckar River from Stuttgart to cement his absolute power. A Baroque urban plan was put into action, with a grid system of streets around a monumental market square. By the time Eberhard Louis passed away in 1733 his namesake city already had 6,000 residents.
Three centuries later Ludwigsburg is still a city of palaces, ruled by Eberhard Louis’ 452-room Residenzschloss, and constellated by summer retreats and hunting lodges. You won’t help but be intoxicated by Ludwigsburg’s glamorous Baroque and Rococo design, parterre gardens, classical concerts and exhibitions of period art and handicrafts.
Between 1704 and 1733 Eberhard Louis, Duke of Württemberg built himself a Baroque palace of outlandish dimensions of Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg , and it would be one of the largest of the period in Germany. Schloss Ludwigsburg is enclosed on three sides by 30 hectares of gardens with French, English and Medieval designs. The most distinguished is the French parterre immediately south of the palace.
A branch of the Landesmuseum Württemberg, the fashion museum is set in the palace’s banquet hall. In chronological order there are more than 700 pieces of clothing for women, men and children from the 18th to the 20th century. Moments up the slope from Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg is the Baroque hunting lodge and summer residence ordered in the 1710s by Eberhard Louis, Duke of Württemberg. The palace, with balustrades, stone vases and statues was restored in 1980 and is open for 20-minute tours of its exuberant interiors.
The sizeable royal ceramic collection is also presented in the Residenzschloss. In the centre of Ludwigsburg’s pre-planned latticework of intersecting streets is the spacious marketplace, built in the 1710s. This symmetrical square measures 110 metres by 80 and was carefully plotted to be much higher than the Residenzschloss, which is close by to the northeast.
In the 1750s Duke Charles Eugene built himself a summer residence of Seeschloss Monrepos a few kilometres northwest of Schloss Ludwigsburg and Schloss Favorite, but linking to those properties via stately pedestrian avenues. One corner of the Blühendes Barock that merits a separate mention is the fairytale garden in the Ostgarten (East Garden). This was created after 1959 when the head gardener Albert Schöchle discovered a Dutch fairytale garden near Tilburg.
When Duke Carl Eugene built a six-kilometre long wall around Ludwigsburg between 1758 and 1763 he constructed gatehouses to control the entrances to the city. As there hasn’t been a burial here for decades, the Alter Friedhof is now a historical monument.
The last of the museums in the Residenzschloss is Barockgalerie , and no less worthy of a visit, is the collection of German and Italian painting from the 17th and 18th centuries. In the oppressive confines of the former Ludwigsburg prison is an often grisly exhibition of artefacts for corrections and justice.
The city museum documents Ludwigsburg’s many sides, as a royal residence, an industrial city, a hotbed for the arts and as a garrison. From May to July Ludwigsburg puts on one of the oldest cultural festivals in the German-speaking world. In December a Baroque-themed Christmas Market lights up the market square in Ludwigsburg.
