Since 2005, the center of the Neuwerkgarten has again been adorned with a new globe house, in which a replica of the famous Gottorf giant globe can be seen. The old globe house, once known as Friedrichsburg, was a multi-storey pavilion in what was then the idea of the “Persian style”. This was a reference to the hoped-for trade relations with the Orient, which could be planned but not realized.
At that time, the globe was considered a kind of eighth wonder of the world; a large, walkable sphere with the known parts of the world on the outer shell and the sky inside. The virtual “Welt- und Himmelstheater” came into the possession of Peter the Great in 1714, and in 1941 it was seized by art protection officers of the Wehrmacht in the palace district in front of Leningrad and brought to Germany. In 1946 it was returned to the Soviets as spoils of war.
