About event
Like many other princes, the Brandenburg Elector Joachim II was passionate about hunting. He had several hunting lodges built around Berlin, including today's Grunewald hunting lodge. The construction was completed in 1543 and Joachim called the house “To the Green Forest”. In order to get to the Grunewald better and faster, he had a club dam built from the Berlin Palace in the direction of the hunting area, the forerunner of the Kurfürstendamm.
The representatives of the Brandenburg estates blamed their sovereign for not caring enough about it They are busy governing, but are constantly “lying in the woods” and hunting. Joachim II replied that governing was a very difficult task and that they should allow him this little pleasure.
The castle area manager Kathrin Külow (SPSG) invites you to a special tour on aspects of hunting in the early modern period and that Life at the Brandenburg court during the Renaissance.
