really beautiful signposts with a homage to past times

Johann Vincenz von Gussio (1746-1813) came from Mantua, Italy, and was educated in Vienna from the age of 12. He came to the royal seat on the Werra from Vienna in 1780 as an aide-de-camp to Prince Joseph of Saxe-Hildburghausen, where he held numerous offices. After Gussio's death in 1813, his wife sold the Berggarten to Carl Christian von Schuler (1756-1838), by whose name the garden house is still known today as the "Schulersberg" house. Since this area has a close connection to our "Dark Countess" and her mysterious companion, the "Dark Count," it was important to us in Hildburghausen to incorporate the history of the "Schulersberg" into the signage concept for the Stadtberg.

On Tuesday, July 22, 2014, the Hildburghausen CDU chapter presented the mayor with a wooden bench crafted by local woodcarver Andre Müller. The wooden bench is connected to the model of the "Schulersberg" house on the path leading to the Dark Countess's grave. "Schulersberg" is the name given to a former mountain garden on the Stadtberg hill south of Hildburghausen. The first documented use of the area dates back to 1785. At that time, a gentleman from Gussio built a garden or summer house on the lower terrace, consisting of a stone base, plastered timber framing, and a tiled roof. This so-called "Gussio House" stood out from other buildings on the Stadtberg hill primarily due to its loggia, a terrace integrated into the ground floor and framed by arcades.

Surely not even the two mysterious gentlemen themselves would have ever suspected that their stay here would last more than thirty years when they arrived in Hildburghausen on February 7, 1807. That evening, an elegantly dressed couple checked into the English Court Hotel and, from then on, attracted attention with their strange hermit lifestyle. This very conspicuously secluded lifestyle intensified after they moved to the castle in the neighboring village of Einhausen. Above all, no one saw the always-veiled lady. She died in the solitude of Einhausen Castle on November 25, 1837, and was buried—according to her wishes—on Hildburghausen's town hill.

The actual grave (not a cellar hole) is further up and you have to follow the path for another 100 meters.

Very beautiful and beautifully decorated shelter in the immediate vicinity of the Dark Countess's grave.
