Another success for Albert Schöchle

The Fairy-Tale Garden in Blühendes Barock opened on May 16, 1959. The idea initially sparked mixed reactions – from enthusiasm to skepticism. However, shortly after the opening, visitor interest quickly proved the concept’s success.

The Fairy-Tale Garden soon became an integral part of Blühendes Barock. The goal was to create an attraction that would particularly appeal to children while encouraging families to visit together. In its very first year, revenues rose by more than 50 percent, and in the following year, they nearly doubled compared to the previous one.

Over the years, the Fairy-Tale Garden was continuously expanded. Albert Schöchle placed great importance on designing scenes that spoke directly to children and referenced well-known fairy-tale characters.

A large portion of the original 1959 fairy-tale scenes can still be admired today in nearly unchanged form – making the Fairy-Tale Garden one of the most enduring and beloved features of Blühendes Barock.
