HISTORICAL AND
SCIENTIFIC MEANING
The combination of high rock, giant flower basket sculpture and semicircular bench is a garden-artistic specialty, which according to the current state of knowledge in
Europe has no peers. Several phenomena occurring in the gardens around 1800 are brought together. The staging of rocks, the flower basket fashion and classicism (the anti-keen griffin bench) are in
combined in a probably unique way. A natural rock becomes a huge, sensitive and sentimental monument to Duchess Charlotte
Amalie redesigned. Within the Gesamtkunstwerk of the Altensteiner
In the landscape garden, the flower basket rock plays an important role. It is a multiple bearer of meaning and an important point of view within the
System vision system. The game is an integral part of the first sensitive park design phase in the Altenstein outdoor park under Duke Georg 1.
PRINCE VON PÜCKLER IS INSPIRED. (... from information board)
