For the first time, more precise planting information is known in a register of inheritance from 1590.
After that, the pleasure garden was 6 acres in size and u. a. planted with various herbs such as sage, rosemary, hyssop and lavender.
At that time, Hedwig, the widow of Duke Julius, was living in Hesse Castle.
She was in control of the Lustgarten until her death in 1602.
There is evidence that an orchard already existed at that time.
