    Waidmannsheil was built from 1834 to 1837 by Gotha's master builder Gustav Eberhard for Heinrich the seventy-second of Reuß-Ebersdorf as a hunting lodge. The construction costs should have amounted to 80,000 Taler.Jagdrevier was the east to the Gemarkungsgrenze the community Langgrün subsequent forest area, which was set up as a gate "Tiergarten".

    The hunting lodge served the prince next to Ebersdorf Castle as a second residence.

      The hunting lodge Waidmannsheil is located in a park area on the southern edge of Saaldorf. It is a single-storey building with about 20 by 15 meters of floor space. It has a hipped roof and a tower-like central part, leading to the entrance of a staircase. The tower is crowned with a battlements and corner turrets. Door and windows are pointed arched. The architectural style is attributed to the Neo-Gothic. The site includes other former farm buildings (Wikipedia).

        Unfortunately, you can not get in anymore. The site was re-privatized and now everything is again demarcated and fenced :(
        For this, the environment is obviously being tidied up again.
        Adjacent is an animal enclosure fenced. There used to be deer there - but we only saw a few lamas at the moment.

          So, the beautiful castle is now the epicenter of a failed coup d'etat. I would have liked to have looked at it last summer, but it was locked and barricaded by the Reussens. Why?¿ is now a bit clearer.

              Beautiful hunting lodge of the Reuss family.
