IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF garden ARCHITECTS
AND ARTISTS
André Le Nôtre
Peter Joseph Lenné
Hermann von Pückler-Muskau
Maximilian Friedrich WeyHe
Thomas Blaikie
Piet Oudolf
Le Nôtre (1630-1700) was an important
French landscape and garden designer. As
the chief landscape architect of Louis XIV
he conceptualised the style of the French
Baroque garden and thus exercised considerable influence on garden art in Europe.
Dominique Girard, a pupil of André
Le Nôtre, was commissioned to plan the
baroque gardens of Schloss Augustusburg
in Brühl.
Lenné (1789-1866) came from a family
with a long tradition as head gardeners
in Bonn. Although he shaped the art of
gardening for almost half a century in
Prussia, he also left traces in the Rhineland and East Westphalia. Examples include reshaping the landscape of the castle
gardens in Brühl, the planning for the
original garden of the Cologne Flora and
the Spa Park in Bad Oeynhausen, created
after plans by Lenné.
The Rheder Landscape Park is located in
the scenic valley of the Nethe. Inspired
by his many journeys Joseph Bruno Graf
von Mengersen (1804-1873) expanded the
park in 1838, to the large size of some 70
hectares. The main feature is the so-called
Pückler Schlag a wide line of sight, which
extends from the central hall of the palace
garden far above the steep, wooded slope of
the Siesebergs.
Weyhe (1775-1846) was Prussian garden
director in Düsseldorf and is considered
as the landscape architect of classicism.
He designed numerous gardens in the
Rhineland in the new English style. He
planned or participated in the design of
more than 100 gardens, including Park
Benrath, Düsseldorf Hofgarten, the forest
garden in Cleves, the parks and gardens of
Burg Anholt and of Schloss Nordkirchen.
The Scottish landscape architect Thomas
Blaikie (1751-1838) is known in history
as a pioneer of plant research and a creator
of outstanding landscaped gardens,
mainly in France. In Germany, the park
at Schloss Dyck is his only work. He was
commissioned by Prince Joseph at Schloss
Dyck to design a landscape garden for the
Prince’s plant collection.
Born in 1944 in Haarlem, Piet Oudolf is
one of the most talented contemporary
garden designers. In the Maximilianpark
in Hamm, he created an extraordinary,
dynamic plant combination, which con­
stantly changes according to the seasons a perpetuum mobile landscape architecture. At the Count's Park at Bad Driburg
he planted a shrub and grass garden that
meanders like a flowering river through
the park.
WELL KNOWN GARDEN STYLES
AND GARDEN TYPES
BAROQUE GARDEN
MONASTERY GARDEN
The first baroque gardens in France were developed in the 17th Century, from the Renaissance gardens of Italy. The rise of Rationalism in France was the basis for the strict forms which
characterised the baroque garden, which sought to subject Nature to the laws of human
Reason. This resulted in a garden form in which nothing is left to chance, and in which even
the plants grow according to the will of men and are shaped to their will.
The medieval cloister garden was originally created as a kitchen garden. The design was
influenced by Christian symbolism and its interpretation of the world. The monastery
garden played an important role in the evolution of plants and remedies. The monasteries
with their gardens had a significant influence on the cultivation of plants, their distribution
in nature and the cultural landscape and their use in food, medicine, culture and everyday
life.
LANDSCAPE GARDEN
The landscaped garden form and style was developed in England in the 18th Century and was
developed in the context of the Enlightenment. It originated as a deliberate contrast to the
previously dominant Baroque French style park that forced nature into strong geometric
shapes. The rigour that previously existed was now lifted and one aimed more at garden
designs that had views of nature to offer: the principle of the natural landscape.
BOTANICAL GARDENS
Botanical Gardens serve the preservation of biodiversity. Thus, a botanical garden usually
follows an Index Seminum that indicates which plant seeds occur in the garden. Botanical
gardens also contain illustrative material for the study (and informal study) of botany.
Finally botanical gardens serve as places of rest, as they are, at least, partially created in a
park like way. Therefore they usually have natural or artificial water and seats and are open
to the public.

CONTEMPORARY GARDEN
Contemporary parks and gardens start a dialogue with objects of art or architecture, or are
themselves works of art. They are characterized by exceptional sites, new concepts of land use
and design, as well as by material selection and maintenance of existing structures. They are
also always places where one encounters nature or which provoke thought about how to deal
with nature, landscape, culture or with ourselves.
SPA GARDEN
Usually a city park that is created according to the ideas of garden design and landscape
architecture. By combining a spa, kiosk, bath-house and concert stages the spa serves both
the population and spa guests as an important and popular retreat and for recreation.

FAMOUS PERSONALITIES
AND THEIR GARDENS
5-DAY-TRIP
GräflicheR Park Bad Driburg
Set in the Kurpark it combines exemplarily the historic English park landscape
from the 19th Century with the contemporary garden by garden artists Piet Oudolfs
and Jacqueline van der Kloet. A statue in
the park of Susett Gonthard recalls the
time she spent together here with the poet
Friedrich Hölderlin in 1796.

GÄrten Haus Esters / Haus
Lange, Krefeld
Künstlergarten Rückriem,
Rommerskirchen
At the end of the 1920’s Ludwig Mies van
der Rohe was commissioned to design two
homes and their private gardens. Accordingly, the gardens reflect the buildings in
their design and impact; from the precise
window cut outs in the garden, the sight
lines lead to the deliberate planting of
groups of trees and single trees which
pick up on the formal language of the
buildings.
In designing the garden, the artist Ulrich
Rückriem was given his first opportunity
to design a landscape for his sculptures.
It is spread across several zones, such as
synthetic turf areas, hornbeam hedges
and a straw meadow.
6
Gutspark Böckel,
Rödinghausen
The “listed” park is an important monument to the garden art of the late 19th
Century and an excellent example of a
largely intact manor park in WestphaliaLippe. The corner tower in the park was
occupied, for a time in 1917, by the writer
Rainer Maria Rilke. The park can only
be visited when attending an event.
GARDENS AT Wasserburg
Hülshoff, HAVIXBECK And AT
Haus Rüschhaus, MÜNSTER
Hülshoff, the typical Westphalian castle
is surrounded by a large landscaped park.
A few kilometres away, Rüschhaus House
one of the finest small manor houses in
Westphalia with a prestigious park and an
artfully landscaped moat invites a visit.
It was here that the poet Annette von
Droste-Hülshoff spent 20 years of her life.
Hohenhof, Hagen
Klever GARDEN LANDSCAPE
Karl Ernst Osthaus commissioned the
garden architect Leberecht Migge in 1913
to draft the design for the garden of villa
Hohenhof which was inspired by the plans
of Belgian architect Henry van de Velde.
After a chequered history, work on the
buildings and the restoration work in the
garden was carried out in 2003.
In the 17th Century the Brandenburg
governor of the Duchy of Cleves, Johann
Moritz von Nassau-Siegen, set himself a
goal of, transforming his royal residence
and its environs into unprecedented parkland. With the Klever gardens he created
a monument which has served as an inspiration to many from Berlin to Versailles.
SCHLOSS DYCK, JÜCHEN
MUSEUM INSEL HOMBROICH, NEUSS
Adenauer GARDEN, Bad Honnef
Rubens GARDEN, ANTWERP
Schloss Dyck is one of the most important
cultural monuments in the Lower Rhine.
For over 900 years, Dyck was owned by the
Salm-Dyck Reifferscheidt family. Count
Ernst Salentin (1621-1684) began the
expansion to a symbolic residence after
The 30 Years’ War. Under his successors
Schloss Dyck became one of the most
distinguished addresses in the region
during the 18th century. The poet and
writer Constance zu Salm-Dyck Reifferscheidt lived here from 1803.
The contemporary park formed by the
restored plain of the river Erft symbolises
the idea of an artistic cultural landscape
through its dialogue between nature, art
and architecture. Visitors can experience
“art parallel to nature” here. The sculptor
Erwin Heerich created eleven pavilions,
each of which –art in itself – is home to
other works of art.
With picturesque views of the Rhine valley,
surrounded by a colourful garden, situated
in Rhöndorf and built in 1936/1937, one
finds the residence of Konrad Adenauer
(1876-1967), the long-time mayor of the city
of Cologne and the first Chancellor of the
Federal Republic of Germany.
Behind the famous Rubens House and the
artist’s workshop is a serene garden, which
shows off three special characteristics of
particular charm: the wooden tunnel built
in the Renaissance style, entwined with
roses, clematis and honeysuckle; the original gardener's cottage with a square herb
garden and pond from the 18th Century
and a small orchard.

SCHLOSSPARK Drachenburg,
Königswinter
Adenauer garDen,
Bad Honnef
Schlosspark Augustusburg,
Brühl
The park surrounding Schloss
Drachenburg with its terraces, the
pleasure ground, the hillside meadow
and the forest park, forms a quiet
counterpoint to the stylistic diversity of
the castle’s architecture. Emerging as a
zoned landscape garden in 1884, the park
is a classic example of the late landscape
style.
In Rhöndorf, with picturesque views of
the Rhine valley and surrounded by a
colourful garden, is the residence built
in 1936/1937 of Konrad Adenauer (18761967), the first Chancellor of the Federal
Republic of Germany. With its Mediterranean-style variety of plants, trees, sculptures, fountains and walls, it is reminiscent
of an Italian-style garden.
The Park is now considered the most
important example of French garden art
outside France and has contributed
significantly to the recognition of the
Augustusburg Castle World Heritage Site
by UNESCO. Starting in 1842, Peter
Joseph Lenné designed part of the extensive park as an English landscape park.

is assigned a matching outdoor room in
the garden: the domed hall is paired with
the reflecting pond and the private rooms
of the Palatine Elector and his wife are
paired with gardens in the English and
French styles, respectively.
SCHLOSS DYCK, JÜCHEN
Follwoing a careful restoration process, the

PARKS AND GARDENS OF
INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE
3-DAY TRIP
LANDSCAPE PARK
Duisburg-Nord
The park around the giant steelworks consists of various derelict former industrial
sites. Its diversity is due to the considerably altered topography, the different soil
substrates and the resulting extremely
lush vegetation.
GARDEN OF REMEMBRANCE,
DUISBURG
The main axis of the park, which was designed by the land art artist Dani Karavan,
consists of a patchwork of different paving
and construction materials from the
buildings that were in the old part of the
Inner Harbour. Architectural remains of
post-war architecture and the planting of
the new park mingle in a unique way.
Nordsternpark,
Gelsenkirchen
The Nordsternpark displays garden art on
the site of an abandoned mine and on an
old brownfield post-industrial landscape.
Here, the widespread excessive impact
made on the landscape by industry remains
ever present is always evident as no attempt
is made to create aesthetic harmony or to
smoothen over the places where the legacy
of the past meets new elements.

MOATED CASTLES, PARKS AND GARDENS
IN THE MÜNSTERLAND
4-DAY TRIP
Salinenpark, Rheine
Bagno, Steinfurt
Vier-Jahreszeiten-Park, Oelde
The Salinenpark was redesigned in 2004,
and together with the adjacent nature
zoo and Bentlage Abbey, with its cultural
landscape, makes an interesting destination. The nature trail goes through the
Bentlager Busch with its unique flora and
fauna.
An early forerunner of today's amusement
parks, Bagno was a spectacular attraction in the 18th century. By reinterpreting
former Baroque park designs we can,
today, understand much of the historical significance of the park. The Bagno
Quadrat invites visitors to linger or - as
in former times - take a boat ride on the
adjacent lake.
Here was constructed in 2001, the most
successful garden show of its day in North
Rhine-Westphalia, judging by visitor numbers. In addition to the garden displays,
such as the “idyllic meadows” in the south,
the “romantic park” in the middle and the
“magical gardens” in the north, the park
offers a variety of sporting and leisure
activities.
Haus Welbergen, Ochtrup
Schlosspark Nordkirchen
BOTANICAL GARDEN Münster
Not only the castle, but also the magnificent park was built according to the
plans of the Westphalian Baroque
architect Johann Conrad Schlaun. Not
without reason, the ensemble dating
from the early 18th Century is known as
the “Westphalian Versailles”.
Nestled in the castle park, the area has a lot
of knowledge to impart, - but being on the
outskirts of the bustling old town - it is also
a welcome oasis of calm. The orangery was
built in 1840 from the rubble of a wall. It is
now one of the few examples of this type of
construction in Germany.
GARDENS AT THE WASSERBURG
HÜLSHOFF, HAVIXBECK AND AM
RÜSCHHAUS
The typical Westphalian castle of Hülshoff
is surrounded by a large landscaped park.
Just a few kilometres away, the Rüschhaus
invites you to visit one of the finest small
manor houses in Westphalia with representative displays and an artfully landscaped
moat. The property was acquired in 1825 by
Baron Clemens August von Droste-Hülshoff.

The intimate gardens by the moated castle
were based on historical designs. On the
Vorburginsel beyond the Marienkapelle
(Lady Chapel), one finds a small garden
area in the Renaissance style. This part
of the garden has a special charm especially when perennials and rose are in full
bloom.
Kreislehrgarten, Steinfurt
This teaching garden was founded in 1914
and covers an area of about 3 hectares and
imparts a lot of interesting information
about ornamental and vegetable gardens.
Visitors get inspirational ideas about
design, maintenance and use of their own
green kingdom.
Schlossgarten Rheda
The garden, proven to exist since the
year 1623, was partially restored with a
geometric layout according to the original
plans, using contemporary plants, including old rose varieties, for the occasion
of the State Garden Show of 1988. The
former orangery, a brick building of late
classical construction style, dates from
1873. The adjacent Nature and Leisure
Park “Flora Westfalica” is located in the
city of Rheda-Wiedenbrück. A continuous
green link was created in 1988 between
the previously separated towns of Rheda
and Wiedenbrück and re-nurtured the
Ems.

PARKS AND CASTLES
IN THE "KINGDOM OF WESTPHALIA"
3-DAY TRIP
Gräflicher Park Bad Driburg
Gräflicher Park at Bad Driburg is an exemplary combination of the historic English
landscape park, with its old timber framed
spa buildings, dating from the 19th Century, on the one hand, and the contemporary gardens of the Dutch garden designer
Piet Oudolf, on the other.
Schloss- und Auenpark
Neuhaus, Paderborn
Monastery Garden Dalheim,
Lichtenau
Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe,
KASSEL
Herrenhäuser GARDENS,
HANNOVER
Thanks to the State Garden Show in the
district of Schloss Neuhaus of Paderborn,
the Schloss- and Auenpark was constructed
in 1994. The entire park is made up of the
partially reconstructed around the former
residence of the bishops and the recreational area of ecologically designed floodplains of the Alme, Lippe and Pader rivers.
Located in a beautiful landscape, the
former Augustinian monastery and today’s
Dalheim LWL State Museum of Monastic
Culture make for one of the outstanding
monasteries in northern Germany. Within
the sprawling grounds of the monastery
there are several gardens: The Prelate’s
garden, the Convent garden with its large
parterre, the Paradise Garden in the Kreuzhof and the herb garden.
The Wilhelmshöhe Mountain Park on
the eastern slope of the Habichtswald
is made up from the combination of
a baroque building and garden with
a spacious landscape park. For three
centuries now, the park with its
famous fountains and the large
crowned statue of Hercules is one of
the most popular attractions in Kassel.
The sprawling complex consists of the
main elements of the “Great Garden” and
the mountain garden. The latter shows
the impressive plant worlds of different
continents, some of them in large greenhouses. The “Great Garden” at Schloss
Herrenhausen is an almost unchanged
Baroque garden. The grotto is exceptional
and was transformed by the artist Niki de
Saint Phalle.
