  • Transcultural Assemblages of Prince Hermann Von Pückler-Muskau (1785–1871) and Machbuba/Ajiamé/Bilillee Freya Schwachenwald
    Art, Nature, Ghosts, and Ice Cream: Transcultural Assemblages of Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785–1871) and Machbuba/Ajiamé/Bilillee Freya Schwachenwald Introduction Walking through Cottbus, Brandenburg, Germany, it is almost impossible to miss the visual presence one of its most famous local personas: from billboards at the train station to an eponymous bus line, Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785–1871) seems omnipresent as a local historical figure and as a welcome vehicle for tourism marketing. When visitors direct their steps through his former park in Branitz at the outskirts of Cottbus, they will most likely come across an unexpected sight: two earthen pyramids. One of them is located in the middle of a artifical lake. Primary and historiographical sources tell us that this pyramid was built by Pückler in the 1850s and that it encases his remains, as envisioned by him while commissioning the construction.1 The pyramid was finished in 1856, fifteen years before Pückler’s death.2 No plaque commemorates him on the pyramid. Pückler and his wife Lucie von Hardenberg (1776–1854) are only commemorated by a stone with a cross, erected posthumously on another small island of the lake. Today, the pyramid, as well as the surrounding park and its castle are maintained by the Stiftung Fürst Pückler Museum Schloss und Park Branitz (Prince Pückler Castle Museum and Branitz Park Foundation). The foundation describes its namesake and the former owner of the castle and park as “one of the greatest European landscape artists, a dandy, ladies’ man, ingenious socialite, connoisseur of exquisite food and namesake to an 1 Siegfried Neumann, “Die Begräbnisstätten im Branitzer Park,” in Pückler, Pyramiden, Panorama: neue Beiträge zur Pücklerforschung, ed.

  • Muskauer Park / Park Muzakowski
    World Heritage Scanned Nomination File Name: 1127.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Muskauer Park / Park Muzakowski DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 7th July 2004 STATE PARTY: GERMANY / POLAND CRITERIA: C (i) (iv) CL DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 28th Session of the World Heritage Committee Criterion (i): Muskauer Park is an exceptional example of a European landscape park that broke new ground in terms of development towards an ideal made-made landscape. Criterion (iv): Muskauer Park was the forerunner for new approaches to landscape design in cities, and influenced the development of ‘landscape architecture’ as a discipline BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS A landscaped park of 559.90-ha astride the Neisse river and the border between Poland and Germany, it was created by Prince Hermann von Puckler-Muskau from 1815 to 1844. Blending seamlessly with the surrounding farmed landscape, the park pioneered new approaches to landscape design and influenced the development of landscape architecture in Europe and America. Designed as a ‘painting with plants’, it did not seek to evoke classical landscapes, paradise, or some lost perfection, instead it used local plants to enhance the inherent qualities of the existing landscape. This integrated landscape extends into the town of Muskau with green passages that formed urban parks framing areas for development. The town thus became a design component in a utopian

During this time, its recommendations have been verified by both conservation and researchers’ actions, who in various environments discussed its meaning as well as its essential shortcomings. Some of the provisions of the Charter were criticized in the context of the effects of their use, especially those relating to the issue of historic gardens fundamental protection, namely to authenticity in its various scopes with particular emphasis on the use of source research which raises many reservations for conservation actions. Moreover, Citation: Jagiełło, M. Do We Need a their excessively superficial interpretation, which was demonstrated by the example of the most New Florence Charter? The popular plant used in regular gardens, namely boxwood. This article presents and analyzes the Importance of Authenticity for the Maintenance of Historic Gardens and most important theses of these discussions and the main axes of the dispute, dividing them into Other Historic Greenery Layouts in two parts, i.e., the first relating to authenticity and the other to the use of sources.

  • The Making of a Botanist
    The Making of a Botanist The centennial celebration of the Arnold Arboretum pays deserved tribute to the men who fashioned the "worn-out farm" 1 into one of the world’s greatest parks and botanical in- stitutions. There is an interesting parallel here with a park in East Germany, the park in Muskau, Upper Lusatia, which too was fashioned from seemingly unpromising material into one of the outstanding parks of Germany and western Europe by the devotion and energies of a few men. A close personal tie exists as well. Alfred Rehder, who served the Arboretum for fifty-one years, next only to Sargent in length of service, was the grandson of one of the men who laid the foundations of the greatness of the park in Muskau. This personal tie, and the obvious likelihood that Alfred Rehder’s interest and training were influenced by his family background, led the editors of Arnoldia to suggest that an article on this subject would be appropriate at this time. To go back over a century and a half to the story of the founding of the park in Muskau 2 takes us to the spring of 1815. The long wars of the French Revolution and Napoleon were coming to an end, though for the moment, seemingly rekindled by the Emperor’s dramatic return from Elba. Seven weeks before Waterloo, on May lst, Count Hermann Puckler,3 heir since the death of his father four years earlier to the feudal domain of Muskau, issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of the town announcing his intention to devote himself to the man- agement of his inheritance and to transform a large part of the domain lands into a landscape park on the English model.
