Preußische Gärten /Prussian Gardens

Die preußischen Gärten in Berlin, Potsdam und an deren Orten in Brandenburg: erstmals führen Texte und Bilder in einer Gesamtschau alle Garten- und Parkanlagen zusammen, die unter den Hohenzollern in einem Zeitraum von über 300 Jahren geschaffen worden sind.
Allein das gattungsübergreifende Zusammenwirken von Gartenkünstlern, Gärtnern, Architekten, Szenographen, Bildhauern, Malern und den jeweils schöpferisch tätigen Herrschern, unter denen Friedrich II. und Friedrich Wilhelm IV. herausragen, ermöglichte es, »aus der Umgebung von Berlin und Potsdam [ ] nach und nach einen Garten zu machen«, wie es Friedrich Wilhelm IV. 1840 formulierte. David Garmatter, Friedrich Christian Glume, Siméon Godeau, Georg Wenzeslaus von Kno-belsdorff, Peter Joseph Lenné, Antoine Pesne, Hermann Fürst von Pückler-Muskau, Georg Potente, Karl Friedrich Schinkel die Brüder Sello und Antoine Watteau - die aus dem Füllhorn der Namen Herausgegriffenen lassen das Spektrum der künstlerischen Kräfte aufscheinen, die das preußische Gartenreich schufen. Den hohen Anspruch fürstlicher Landschaftskunst formulierte Lenné in einem Anflug von Ungeduld mit seinem königlichen Auftraggeber, der wieder einmal die Geldmittel beschnitten hatte: »Ew. Majestät begreifen noch immer nicht das Geistreiche meiner Idee«. Der vorliegende Band versucht eine Annäherung an das »Geistreiche der Idee«, das den Gärten der Hohenzollern in Preußen in besonderer Weise innewohnt.

The Prussian gardens in Berlin, Potsdam, and elsewhere in Brandenburg: for the first time, texts and photographs present an overall view of all the gardens and parks created under the Hohenzollerns over a period of more than three centuries. Only the cross-genre collaborative effort of garden designers, gardeners, architects, scenographers, sculptors, painters, and creative rulers, the most prominent of whom were Frederick II and Frederick William IV, made it possible 'to turn the environs of Berlin and Potsdam [] step by step into a garden', as Frederick William IV put it in 1840. Figures such as David Garmatter, Friedrich Christian Glume, Siméon Godeau, Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, Peter Joseph Lenné, Antoine Pesne, Prince Hermann von Pückler- Muskau, Georg Potente, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the Sello brothers, and Antoine Watteau picked from a whole cornucopia of names indicate the spectrum of artistic forces that created the Prussian garden realm. Impatient with his royal client, who had once again cut his funding, Lenné alluded to the high standard of princely landscape art: 'Your Majesty still does not understand how ingenious my idea is.' The present volume is an attempt to examine the 'ingeniousness of the idea' specifically inherent in the gardens of the Hohenzollerns in Prussia. Until his retirement, Hillert Ibbeken was professor of geology at the Freie Universität Berlin. He has been involved in architecture and landscape photography throughout his life. His book Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Das architektonische Werk heute / The architectural work today, edited in cooperation with Elke Blauert, was published by Edition Axel Menges in 2001. Later there followed, in the same format, this time with him as sole editor, his monographs on Ludwig Persius (2005) and Friedrich August Stüler (2006), and, among others, Schlösser der Weserrenaissance / Castles of the Weser Renaissance (2008), edited in co-operation with Michael Bischoff, as well as Das andere Italien / The other Italy. Geschichten und Bilder aus Ligurien und Kalabrien / Stories and pictures from Liguria and Calabria (2011). Katja Schoene is an art historian and museologist. She was formerly on the staff of the National Trust in the landscape gardens at Stowe, Buckinghamshire, and of the Stiftung Preußische Schlösser und Gärten Berlin- Brandenburg. As a freelance author she has written about Schloss Sanssouci, Friedrich August Stüler, and the 'Pomeranian Curiosity Cabinet'.

Klappentext
The Prussian gardens in Berlin, Potsdam and elsewhere in Bran-
denburg: for the first time, texts and photographs present an over-
all view of all the gardens and parks created under the Hohenzol-
lerns over a period of more than three centuries.
Only the cross-genre collaborative effort of garden designers,
gardeners, architects, scenographers, sculptors, painters, and cre-
ative rulers, the most prominent of whom were Frederick II and
Frederick William IV, made it possible »to turn the environs of Ber-
lin and Potsdam [...] step by step into a garden«, as Frederick Wil-
liam IV put it in 1840. Figures such as David Garmatter, Friedrich
Christian Glume, Sime on Godeau, Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobels-
dorff, Peter Joseph Lenne , Antoine Pesne, Prince Hermann von
Pu ckler-Muskau, Georg Potente, Karl Friedrich Schinkel, the Sello
brothers, and Antoine Watteau picked from a whole cornucopia
of names indicate the spectrum of artistic forces that created the
Prussian garden realm.
Impatient with his royal client, who had once again cut his fund-
ing, Lenne alluded to the high standard of princely landscape art:
»Your Majesty still does not understand how ingenious my idea is.«
The present volume is an attempt to examine the »ingeniousness
of the idea« specifically inherent in the gardens of the Hohenzol-
lerns in Prussia.
