Schloss Dreissigacker, Hunting lodge in Dreissigacker district, Meiningen, Germany.
Schloss Dreissigacker is a hunting lodge in Meiningen featuring classical architecture with symmetrical facades and structured window arrangements. After renovation in 2002, the building now houses 16 residential units while preserving its historical architectural character.
Duke Ernst Ludwig I of Meiningen commissioned the hunting lodge in 1710, which later became a ducal residence. In the 19th century it gained importance for forestry education before serving as a teacher training institute.
The site carries strong ties to forestry traditions visible in its layout and purpose. Today it functions as residential housing while maintaining connections to its educational past through architectural details.
The building is now divided into private residential units but the exterior and facade can be viewed and appreciated by visitors. It is located in Meiningen and accessible by local transportation routes.
The building sustained damage during World War II, and traces of this remain visible in parts of its structure. Its conversion into residential apartments shows how historical buildings adapt to new purposes while remaining part of the community.
