Jagdschloss Oberhof

Jagdschloss Oberhof, Hunting lodge in Oberhof, Germany.

Jagdschloss Oberhof was a hunting lodge built from 1830 to 1832 for Duke Ernst I of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, timed with the new road from Gotha to Coburg over the Thuringian Forest ridge. Its interior and exterior were decorated with well over two hundred hunting trophies. It stood in Oberhof until its demolition in 2020 for the hotel The Grand Green.

Duke Johann Ernst I built the original hunting lodge in 1616 with eight rooms surrounded by defensive earthworks, though it burned down just eighteen years later in 1634. A replacement structure was constructed afterward and continued to serve the region's hunting traditions for centuries.

The lodge hosted the Weimar court's two annual hunts from 1616, and Duke Ernst II usually stayed there in autumn. In 1839 King Friedrich August II of Saxony came with ten other princes; in 1888 the Prussian princes Wilhelm, Eitel Friedrich, Adalbert and August Wilhelm spent several weeks there. The building was demolished in 2020 for the The Grand Green hotel, so nothing of it can be visited today.

The site lay in the forested Thuringian landscape, allowing visitors to experience the hunting grounds and surrounding nature. The building was demolished in 2020, so today only historical records and photographs remain to show how it once looked.

The lodge attracted top-ranking guests at different times, including Saxon King Friedrich August II with ten other princes in 1839. Another peak moment came in 1888 when four Prussian imperial princes including Wilhelm, Eitel Friedrich, Adalbert, and August Wilhelm stayed there.
