Frequently Asked Questions
What is the history behind the Küchengarten Pavilion's relocation to Lindener Berg?
The pavilion was originally built between 1741 and 1750 as a pleasure house within the royal Küchengarten, located about 2 km away from its current site. After the Küchengarten was dissolved in 1866, the pavilion was dismantled in 1911/1912 and meticulously rebuilt on Lindener Berg between 1911 and 1914, thanks to a local initiative. This move saved the historic Baroque structure and gave it a new purpose as a cultural and viewing space.
What kind of exhibitions can I expect to see inside the Küchengarten Pavilion?
The pavilion serves as an exhibition space, hosting up to six art exhibitions annually, often focusing on the history of Linden. Additionally, there is a permanent exhibition showcasing pieces from the fossil collection of geologist and paleontologist Carl Struckmann.
