History+

The origins of the Taschenbergpalais date back to 1693/94, when the Haugwitzsche Haus stood on this site. Between 1705 and 1708, the palace was built under the direction of architect Johann Friedrich Karcher for Anna Constanze von Hoym, later Countess Cosel. After her banishment in 1713, the palace was partially furnished in an oriental style around 1715/1716 and was given the name “Turkish Palace.” Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann and Raymond Leplat carried out work for the crown princely families from 1718 to 1720. Additions followed between 1747 and 1750 under Johann Christoph Knöffel, who also designed the two sandstone fountains in the entrance area. Further extensions occurred from 1756 to 1767 under Christian Friedrich Exner and Julius Heinrich Schwarze, as well as from 1843 to 1848.
