Burggrafen, Kurfürsten, Könige - The Hohenzollern Gallery in the Hunting Lodge Grunewald

Description

In 1810, the Hohenzollern Secret House Archive from Kulmbach was transferred to the then Bavarian Bamberg, and in 1822, the ancestral gallery of the Franconian line with over 200 paintings was moved to Berlin. Both had established the almost legendary reputation of the margravial castle in the previous centuries.
At the Plassenburg, Margrave Georg Friedrich already collected portraits of family members in the 16th century. After his death in 1603, Margrave Christian of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, a posthumous son of the Brandenburg Elector Johann Georg, founded the younger line Brandenburg-Bayreuth and expanded the collection of paintings. His brother Joachim Ernst inherited the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach in the same year. The tour with the castle area manager Kathrin Külow provides an overview of the portrait gallery presented today at the Hunting Lodge Grunewald, which includes images from the 16th to the 19th century, brief information about the depicted persons, and insights into the development of princely portraits.
