Description
The Waldlust Hotel in Freudenstadt, founded in 1899, was a first choice resort of a noble society of spa guests. It stands as a historic architecture building, as a cultural heritage treasury, as a long time social meeting place in a high rank – a unique symbol of a former golden period of town development. It is surrounded by a wide park area, which formerly served as an old style wellness and leisure time retreat for the noble high society clientele. The park had been fallen to oblivion in many years. Due to the absence of any gardening, cultivation forms and structures had gone lost. The project consist of two parts – a practical working part which will last 6 hours per day and a study part, which takes place in the evenings and during weekends. The project will focus on the recultivation of the former hotel park. While restoring and cultivating further parts of the historic hotel park, the old concept of Parkwald (park forest) should be regained und brought into presence. This means the clearing of small or middle aged trees and plants that are not typically for the park as well as the excavation of garden structures with century old origin currently covered by leaves. In addition, the reconstruction of a historic path, which has been started in the previous project will be continued. Finally, a sand stone wall that accompanies the main access path to the former hotel will be repaired.
