Jagdschloss Niederwald, Hunting lodge in Rüdesheim am Rhein, Germany
The Jagdschloss Niederwald stands on a clearing within the Niederwald forest, offering panoramic views over Assmannshausen and the Rhine valley.
In 1948, eleven western German state leaders gathered at Jagdschloss Niederwald for a conference to prepare the new constitution following World War II.
Built in 1764 by Count Johann Friedrich Karl Maximilian von Ostein, the lodge represents the architectural preferences of German nobility in the 18th century.
The lodge connects to Assmannshausen via chairlift and links to the B42 highway through a road system leading to the Rhine valley.
The building transformed from a noble hunting retreat to a military hospital during World War II and later became a leisure facility for American officers.
