Backhausteich am Jagdschloss Kranichstein

Wildackerweg, 64289 Darmstadt(161 m über NN)

The Backhausteich dates back to the early days of the hunting lodge and was created as a fishing pond during the reign of George I. Today it is a local recreation area and biotope.  Today it is a local recreation area and biotope.

As the pond served purely functional purposes, it was originally built in a rectangular shape. The main function was fish farming, but waterfowl such as ducks were also caught. Fish and waterfowl were used to feed the court society. The pond got its name from the bakehouse in the immediate vicinity. This was built outside the castle walls so as not to jeopardise the hunting lodge in the event of a fire. The bakehouse was demolished in the 18th century. Unfortunately, only the name remains today.

In the 19th century, the castle complex was no longer used as a hunting lodge but as a summer residence. In 1857/58, the castle park was redesigned into an English landscape garden according to the plans of court garden director Schnittspahn. At that time, the Backhausteich pond was also given its current shape with the curved shoreline at the back and an island, which was created from the excavated material from the shoreline remodelling.

Today, the Backhausteich pond at the hunting lodge serves as an excursion destination, which is particularly popular with walkers at weekends.
