History of the Schwetzingen Orangery In Schwetzingen, the Old Orangery was initially built between 1718 and 1728 in the center of what is now the circular parterre. After its demolition, Elector Carl Theodor commissioned the construction of the Northern Circular Building in 1748 as a wintering place for exotic plants. Nicolas de Pigage (1723–1796) then built the present-day New Orangery between 1761 and 1763 northwest of the circular parterre. A large orangery garden was laid out in front of the orangery. Perfected for the Winter Sun The 171-meter-long building is symmetrically designed. The plaster surfaces are painted in fresco technique with a brickwork-like decoration. Large windows run the entire length of the south facade, topped with shallow segmental arches, hinting at the impressive height of the interior even from the outside. Thanks to the large windows and their south-facing orientation, maximum sunlight is ensured for the overwintering plants, even in winter. Supplies from the Garden At times, over 2,000 potted plants found a home in the Schwetzingen Orangery. The Elector's court appreciated the exceptional foods and spices, demonstrating its exquisite taste. From orange and pomegranate trees to date palms, agaves, and coffee trees, all sorts of exotic plants were cultivated in Schwetzingen for the aristocratic court society. The care and cultivation of the trees and shrubs was undertaken with considerable effort. Current Use To this day, the exotic plants are overwintered on the right side of the Orangery. In the Orangery Garden, the precious potted plants are placed, as in Carl Theodor's time, as soon as the night frosts have passed. In summer, this area provides space for temporary exhibitions. In the central section of the orangery building, a permanent exhibition explains the extensive history of the orangery and its plants. On the left, the original figurines from the palace gardens have found a protected home in the lapidarium.

A great opportunity to take a little break.

I think this is one of the most beautiful spots in the entire palace gardens. With a view of the mosque and the Mercury Temple behind you, it's simply a beautiful spot.

Guido Messer (*1941) The Claque Bronze, galvanized steel tables, 1988 "Razor-sharp" is as fitting as it is significant in relation to Guido Messer's art. "Razor-sharp" describes a precise and profound power of observation. Messer distills the species from the mass of individual occurrences and characterizes them by their binding properties. By essentially sharing his knowledge of such properties, we make them speak to us through the expression Messer has found for them in his works. The encounter with Messer's sculptures therefore has something of a déjà vu about it, or they are immediately perceived as archetypes whose identifiability is known to be very high and very widespread." (Prof. Dr. Helge Bathelt at an exhibition opening in Herrenberg, 2008) The sculpture group "The Claque" consists of four bronze figures, which Guido Messer commissioned for a sculpture exhibition at the Filderhalle in 1988. The bronze casting process allows a mold to be reused multiple times, and thus "The Claque" can also be found in Backnang, Pforzheim, and Schwetzingen. The claque was a group of people who were paid for their applause, especially in the 18th and 19th centuries. Accordingly, Guido Messer depicts four men who clap, but without any sign of emotion on their faces. Their posture, gestures, and expressions are stereotypical; each one resembles the next. Placed as torsos on a table, they appear like functioning machines with human features. Positioned in front of the Filderhalle, they greet everyone who has come to attend an exhibition, a play, or a concert. The artist humorously illustrates what a visitor should not be: an emotionless and uninvolved claqueur. Source: https://www.leinfelden-echterdingen.de/Startseite/Kultur/Die+Claque.html
