Schlosspark Biebrich
Schlosspark Biebrich
Outdoor area freely accessible
The Biebrich Palace Park in Wiesbaden stretches narrow and elongated behind the baroque palace on the Rhine and cleverly conveys a sense of space. At the beginning of the 19th century, Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell transformed the previously baroque garden into an English landscape garden that combines naturalness and artistic composition. Curving meadows, gently sloping paths, and lines of sight stretching as far as the Taunus mountains were created on 31 hectares. The Mosburg, a neo-Gothic pleasure palace, added romantic accents. Court gardeners and master stablemasters assisted Sckell in the implementation. Later, Carl Friedrich Thelemann added exotic greenhouses, magnificent plants, and a grotto with a Moorish kiosk, parts of which are now lost or continue to exist in Frankfurt's Palmengarten. The park is considered a work of spatial art that conveys to visitors a harmonious combination of landscape, architecture, and views, exemplifying the artistry of the English landscape garden in Germany.
