In this book, internationally renowned garden and architecture theorists, art historians, cultural mediators, and commentators examine the phenomenon of Wörlitz. Their investigations begin with the 18th-century developments, of which Prince Franz's Garden Kingdom was a prominent European example. This small pattern state implemented the new Enlightenment concepts of architecture and landscape design in a model and exemplary way. By analyzing the historical background, the authors provide new perspectives on a world heritage site. The photographs in this volume aim to capture everything from the small details to the grand unified composition. An exceptional homage that is fascinating, instructive, and filled with powerful images.
