A Walk Through the History of Branitz
The open-air exhibition Princess Lucie Pückler in Branitz shines a light on a woman without whose vision the dream realm of Branitz would hardly be imaginable.

The presentation is scheduled for September 7 to 8, 2026, and will take place at the Prince Pückler Museum Park & Palace Branitz; admission is free.

Lucie Pückler as a Designer of the Place
The exhibition refers to the early years of the park and to those modifications of the palace that shaped the foundations of the Branitz total artwork during the Princess's last years. Lucie Pückler thus stands not only as a historical figure but as part of a culturally significant landscape curation that allows for a rethinking of the relationship between architecture, garden art, and representation. The showcase makes visible how closely personal biography and landscape composition are intertwined in Branitz.

Five Stations, a Poetic Path
The open-air exhibition unfolds at five stations and provides insights into the creation of the park as well as the development of the palace area. Those who embark on the tour will experience not only historical information but also spatial effects, light, and movement in the landscape. It is this connection between knowledge transfer and sensory perception that makes the visit a lively educational offering in a public space.

Branitz as a Masterpiece of Landscape Art
The Branitz park is considered an outstanding example of German landscape garden art of the 19th century. According to the foundation, the area covers approximately 620 hectares and is composed according to a zoning principle that extends from the outer park area through the inner sections to the pleasure ground at the palace. Thus, the exhibition also serves as an invitation to read Branitz as a historically grown overall composition.
