Lucie's Branitz: A Garden Realm Tells History
The open-air exhibition Princess Lucie Pückler in Branitz puts the work of the princess in the spotlight and guides visitors through five stations showcasing the early developmental phases of the park. In the anniversary year of Lucie von Pückler's 250th birthday, Branitz opens itself as a place of aesthetic experience, historical memory, and art education.

A Total Work of Art in the Open Air
Between park paths, sight lines, and the alterations to the castle, it becomes clear how closely landscape design, architecture, and personal life story are interwoven in Branitz. The exhibition tells of the beginnings of a dream realm that Lucie shaped in her final years and which still holds special cultural historical significance today.

Lucie Pückler: Education, Attitude, Influence
Lucie von Hardenberg, later Princess Pückler, lived in Branitz from summer 1852 after stints in Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg, and Berlin. The foundation describes her as a wise, experienced person whose life was shaped by social networks, upheavals, and cultural presence. It is precisely this biographical depth that gives the exhibition its charm: It presents not a marginal figure but a woman who envisioned and shaped the transformation of Branitz.

See, Walk, Understand
As an open-air format, the presentation combines artwork observation with movement in space. Those who walk the stations experience not just texts and images but a staged exhibition atmosphere in which the park itself becomes a medium for communication. This creates an intense art experience between landscape, memory culture, and museum pedagogy.
