Summary: In 2009, Hamburg-based architectural firm Jastrzembski Kotulla began reconstructing the majestic Herrenhausen Palace, which was levelled in World War II, and restoring it in line with a design by royal builder George Ludwig Friedrich Laves. Known until now for its magnificent baroque gardens alone, Herrenhausen Palace and Gardens will soon be restored to their full original glory. Herrenhausen Palace, the royal summer residence, was once the centrepiece of the Great Garden commissioned by Sophia of Hanover from French gardener Martin Charbonnier. The 300th anniversary of the first Hanoverian monarch of Great Britain, King George I, will be celebrated in 2014. With essays by renowned experts, Schloss Herrenhausen gives a comprehensive overview of the history of Herrenhausen. Founded in the 16th century by the Guelf dynasty and built up over the course of several centuries, the residence developed into an international intellectual and cultural centre. The modern interior of the new building will be a centre for science. Other essays focus on specific elements of the history of Herrenhausen Palace and its Great Garden.
