  • Hunting Lodges It Was Peter Kaellgren Who First Suggested That I Have A
    Hunting Lodges It was Peter Kaellgren who first suggested that I have a closer look at the history of German hunting lodges. We all have some image about idyllic chateaus set in ancient woods among well trimmed alleys and picturesque lakes or waterways, such as Amalienburg in Munich or Schloss Moritzburg near Dresden. However, these palatial lodges are the exception of the norm. Interestingly enough, there are no publications on hunting lodges in Germany, apart from a few monographs. A look at 18 th century sources shows us that this lack is not due to scholarly ignorance but rather due to difficulties in defining the subject. Johann Georg Krünitz, the enlightened publisher, tried to give a definition in his 1783’s "Economical Encyclopedia". He made a distinction between “Jagdschloss” (hunting palace) and “Jagdhaus” (hunting lodge). His short explication on the hunting palace describes a typical maison-de-plaisance ornamented with rustic decoration including animals, still lifes, figures like Diana or Meleager and others, and rooms for entertaining guests or to host the patron. The function of hunting was not specific to the palace’s construction. This description differs from smaller lodges which consisted simply of an apartment for the owner and additional rooms for lodging keepers, storing weapons etc. The adjacent grounds often featured stables, kennels, sometimes an inn, a small formal garden, kitchen gardens etc. These outbuildings and grounds are often more characteristic for hunting lodges than the lodge itself, which sometimes looks like an ordinary keeper’s house. Krünitz does not suggest a typology. Nevertheless I will try do work out a classification and show the differences between the palatial and the rustic hunting lodges.
