Jagdhaus Lassmichinruh, Hunting lodge in Eisenberg, Germany
Jagdhaus Lassmichinruh is a two-story building with sandstone walls on the ground floor and wooden upper levels decorated with carved details along its facade. The structure sits northwest of Ramsen in the Palatinate Forest and is managed by the Donnersberg forestry office.
The lodge was built in the mid-1930s by Josef Bürckel, the Nazi Gauleiter of Saar-Palatinate, as his personal retreat. It served as both a private residence and a meeting location during that period.
The name 'Lassmichinruh' follows a regional tradition of giving hunting lodges imperative phrases as names. This naming style was typical of the Palatinate Forest, where forest buildings were often addressed in direct or humorous ways.
Access to the site is by hiking trails through the forest, which requires sturdy footwear and basic navigation skills. A visit is best made on foot during drier months when forest paths are not muddy.
Carved figures of a rabbit and hunting dog once framed the original nameplate on the building's exterior. The site also retains remnants of an oval balcony and a tiled swimming pool dating from its construction period.
