Village (Hydropower Village) in Nymphenburg Park

Built as a staffage "village" was supposed to simulate the supposedly idyllic life of the rural population. Built in the late 18th century around the older "Green Brunnhaus" with the pumping stations for the Badenburg and some fountains. The pumps installed in 1803 are still in operation today.

The five buildings of the village are on the north bank of the southern park canal. The houses built for court servants in a beaver enclosure that no longer exists today and some of them are still inhabited embody the idealized idea of rural life in courtly times - the longing for the supposed idyll of the world of farmers and shepherds. Models can be found in a staffage village in the park of Chantilly (1774) and in the Hameau de la Reine in the park of Versailles Palace (1783).
