E2 Garden house of the chambermaid von Beckedorf

The garden house was built in 1817 in the Neoclassical style on Jägerstraße in the Georgengarten, based on plans by Georg Laves. After Beckedorf’s death, the house was sold and eventually moved in 1873 to its current location, the Limmerbrunnen. At that time, the Limmerbrunnen was a bathing facility fed by a sulfur-rich healing spring.

Information in English

In earlier times, this garden house, built by court architect Georg Laves in 1817, stood in Georgengarten on Jägerstrasse. After the death of lady-in-waiting Charlotte Amalie Beckedorf, the classicist villa was sold and eventually moved to its current location near Limmerbrunnen in 1873. At that time, Limmerbrunnen was a popular, elegant spa featuring a sulfur spring, and for a time even housed a restaurant, a casino, and cultural events.
