Haideburg Hunting Lodge in the Mosigkau Heath near Dessau-Roßlau.

Information:

Built between 1782 and 1783, this two-story brick building is designed in the Neo-Gothic style. It is believed to have been modeled on a smaller version of the Prussian coronation palace in Königsberg. An extension and several outbuildings were added in 1903.

Built between 1782 and 1783 by Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff, the palace is an important example of Anhalt Neo-Gothic architecture and an early example of Romantic German ruin architecture. It is a rectangular, two-story brick building with an adjoining narrow side wing. The southwest extension features a ruined gable between two octagonal towers. The tall, five-story northeast tower has four bay turrets.

Haideburg Hunting Lodge was commissioned by Prince Leopold Friedrich of Anhalt-Dessau, based on a design by Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff, and built between 1782 and 1783. The complex was expanded again in 1903 and 1920.
Today, the hunting lodge and its outbuildings house the Anhalt Forestry Department.
On October 14, 1782, a 22-pointer was killed after an hour and a half of hunting. The sandstone monument (original!) in front of the hunting lodge commemorates this event.
