In connection with the expansion and redesign of the palace gardens in the 19th century, the new "Hofgaertner-Etablissement" was built in 1856/57 to a design by architect Hermann Willebrand. The building served as the court gardener's residence and service building and was therefore located in the immediate vicinity of this garden area.
The court gardener's establishment in Schwerin was built between 1856 and 1857 under the direction of architect Hermann Willebrand and serves as a residential and service building for the court gardener. It is located in the immediate vicinity of the palace garden, which was redesigned and extended at this time. The two-and-a-half-storey building includes a coach house, stables and a heated greenhouse to meet the requirements of garden maintenance.
The front risalit of the building functions as a living area for the yard gardener, while the hall behind it is designed for the daily work processes in the greenhouse and as a cultivation hall. This well thought-out architecture enables a seamless connection between the living and working areas. The centrally located, covered entrance creates an inviting entrance and emphasizes the multifunctional use of the establishment.
Today, the property is used privately, but remains an important part of the historic garden area in Schwerin and reflects the tradition of grand ducal garden maintenance.
