Open-Air Exhibition Princess Lucie Pückler in Branitz: Experience Art and History in Cottbus

Princess Lucie Pückler in Branitz: An Open-Air Exhibition in the Sign of the Women's Empire

This open-air exhibition places Princess Lucie Pückler-Muskau at the center of her 250th birthday and draws attention to her work for Branitz. The stations provide an art historical perspective on the beginnings of the park, the early alterations to the castle, and the creation of the landscape artwork that later became the Branitz dream realm.

Lucie Pückler as the Designer of an Idea

The presentation honors Lucie not as a marginal figure but as a clever co-designer of a cultural historical total artwork. The Branitz Park was created as a finely composed landscape with hills, valleys, watercourses, and targeted sight axes; its center, the Pleasureground, consolidates the aesthetic experience of form, space, and movement. The exhibition makes visible how closely landscape design, architecture, and cultural education are connected in Branitz.

Five Stations, a Multifaceted Art Experience

The open-air exhibition at five stations provides insights into the early years of the park and informs about the initial renovations of the castle. Especially outdoors, the observation of the work unfolds differently than in a museum: light, path layout, and nature become part of the curation itself. This creates a calm yet compelling walk through the history of Branitz.
