Entrance to the Elizabeth Bridge
Elizabeth Bridge. General view of the Pheasantry/Fasanerie and Middle Park.
It connected the Palace Garden with the Middle Garden or Pheasantry. There's confirmation that the bridge existed from seventeen seventy-seven. During Princess Dorothea's reign, it was named Elizabeth Bridge in memory of the Queen of Prussia, Elizabeth Ludovika Wittelsbach. Due to a severe flood in seventeen seventy-seven, the bridge was significantly damaged, and its reconstruction was completed in nineteen hundred one. The old Elizabeth Bridge was located twenty meters to the left of today's Wooden Park Footbridge. The remains of this brick bridge are still visible. The name Pheasantry (Fasanerie) is associated with pheasant breeding and an aviary, which was run there in the later years of the nineteenth century. From the Elizabeth Bridge, there's also a view northwards to the palace and the Main Fountain.
