Eberstein hunting lodge was built in the Moorish ruin style. It is located in the former wild boar enclosure, where wild boars were intensively cared for and hunted by the royal family until 1918. The cellar rooms were used to store game feed and there are still remains of a horse stable.

It was built in 1844 in the Moorish style that was common at the time and was used by the royal family until 1918, particularly for wild boar hunting. The castle was located in a large wild boar enclosure, a type of enclosure known as a "sucking garden". In this area, wild boars were cared for and looked after for the royal hunt. The castle is usually closed, but today it is used by the municipality of Dittersdorf, which also organizes its maintenance, as an event venue.

The Heidecksburg, the former residential palace of the counts and princes of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, is one of the most magnificent baroque palaces of the 18th century. Today the castle houses the Thuringian State Museum Heidecksburg and the Thuringian State Archives Rudolstadt.

Eberstein hunting lodge, very well preserved. Invites you to take a break

The place and Schwarzburg Castle briefly moved back into the center of German history on August 11, 1919, when Reich President Friedrich Ebert and after him all the ministers of his government were relaxing in the Hotel Weißer Hirsch (minister) or in the villa that belonged to the hotel at the time "Schwarzaburg" (Ebert) signed the Weimar Constitution. Where exactly the signing took place in Schwarzburg is still not known for sure. (Source: Wikipedia)
