Springe Hunting Lodge - Visit Hannover

Historic building

Hunting Lodge Springe

On the north side of the Kleiner Deister, the royal family of Hanover had the Springe hunting lodge built.

Old building

When the horn was sounded for a royal hunt, the royal family stayed at Springe Hunting Lodge.

The palace was built between 1838 and 1842 according to plans by G. F. L. Laves, among others, as a hunting lodge for the Hanoverian royal family. The court hunting ground was the Saupark, which had to be surrounded by a wall after a court ruling against the king in 1835 due to damage caused by game.

Even after 1866, there were court hunts every two years, and Kaiser Wilhelm II in particular liked to come here. Today, a permanent exhibition on nature and hunting can be seen on the first floor of the hunting lodge.

In one of the rooms of the old hunting lodge, there are showcases with dog models and old display boards.
