A summery journey through the history of Branitz
The open-air exhibition Princess Lucie Pückler in Branitz highlights the early development phases of the park on the occasion of the 250th birthday of Princess Lucie Pückler. At five stations in the Pleasureground, an education-oriented art experience unfolds in the open air, which connects garden art, cultural history, and biography to create an impressive tour.
Lucie Pückler as a creative force

Official sources describe Lucie Pückler as an intellectual partner and a key influencer for the park projects in Muskau and Branitz. This gives the exhibition a cultural-historical depth that goes far beyond a traditional open-air display.
A park as a total work of art
Branitz is considered an important garden monument and a landscape composition of international significance. The foundation describes the park as an ensemble developed according to zoning principles, where the design intensity condenses from the outer areas to the inner park and the palace. It is precisely in this tension field of nature, architecture, and spatial effects that the open-air exhibition unfolds its special atmosphere.
Five stations, many perspectives

Thus, the walk becomes a concentrated approach to the garden art of the 19th century.
