Orangery Culture in Branitz: Expertise, History, and Present in a Special Conference Experience
The 45th annual conference of the Working Group on Orangeries in Germany e.V. brings together professionals, enthusiasts, and culture lovers from September 3 to 5, 2026, in Branitz near Cottbus. The focus is on orangery culture in Lusatia on both sides of the Oder as well as in Silesia – featuring expert lectures, guided tours through the Branitz park, and opportunities for in-depth discussions.
Historic Orangery Culture Meets Current Research
This conference combines heritage conservation, garden art, and scientific communication into an intense event experience. German and Polish speakers will shed light on the development of orangeries, their architectural significance, and the care of plant collections. Thus, a professional conference transforms into a lively view of a cultural heritage that links architecture, nature, and history in a unique way.
Branitz as a Suitable Place for Exchange and Inspiration
The Prince Pückler Museum Park & Castle Branitz provides the ideal setting for this. The historic park creates an atmosphere where lectures and discussions do not feel dry, but are embedded in an authentic environment. It becomes evident here why orangeries have been considered total works of art for centuries: they connect botanical knowledge, aesthetic quality, and cultural identity.
Program with Lectures, Tours, and Excursion
The conference program includes guided tours through the Branitz park and discussion rounds for professional deepening, alongside the lectures. On the last day, a full-day excursion to selected sites east and west of the Oder is planned. Those who wish to experience orangery culture not just theoretically, but in the context of their landscapes, will find a well-informed and simultaneously inspiring approach here.
Practical Information for Visitors
