Who we are

Welcome to the website of the State Palaces and Gardens of Baden-Württemberg. We, a team devoted to the historical heritage of our state and its visitors, would like to extend a warm welcome to you.

The State Palaces and Gardens (SSG - Staatliche Schlösser und Gärten) of Baden-Württemberg were founded on 01/01/1987 on a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the State of Baden-Württemberg as part of the Government Office of Property and Building Construction Administration with the mission of presenting the historical heritage of the State to a broad public in a continuously improved manner.
The SSG is responsible for supporting over 250 state-owned palaces, monasteries, gardens, castles and ruins.

This mission results in four main tasks:

Preserving
The task of the SSG is to preserve and care for the cultural monuments including their appointments and furnishings with the greatest possible diligence as a historical heritage.

Presenting
The cultural monuments are to be made accessible to a broad public. A continuous task of the SSG is to continuously inspire enthusiasm among new people for the cultural monuments as the site of educational and leisure activity and to win those people for further visits.

Educating
Linked to the presentation is the task of conveying the history of the cultural monuments and the context of their state and cultural history in a sound, attractive, contemporary manner using modern media.

Cooperating
The presentation of the cultural monuments is not an isolated act, but instead is carried out in close cooperation with local and national tourist institutions and organizations, with schools and other educational institutions, with homeland associations and societies, with private enterprise and with other public or private, cultural or scientific institutions. To be able to optimally fulfill this mission, the State Palaces and Gardens of Baden-Württemberg have set the following goals for themselves:

Experience history through stories
A primary goal of the SSG is to offer visitors knowledge and experience in an unmistakable atmosphere. "Experience history through stories", the "Guided tour with the character of an adventure" as an unmistakable brand characteristic of the State Palaces and Gardens - both for the standard tour and for special and topical tours, costume and children's tours.

Service and customer friendliness
The SSG sees itself as a service provider with the goal of offering visitors from around the world the maximum possible service. In the process, top priority is given to competence, customer friendliness and the best possible consideration of customer requests.

Diverse range of services
The largest possible number of continuously new classes of society are to be addressed and filled with enthusiasm by a diverse, innovative range of services oriented toward our target groups. These services include attractive exhibitions, lectures, events, the website, special and costume guided tours, the rental of rooms and free spaces and a whole lot more. 

Financing
The goal of the SSG is to earn the financial resources that must be applied for the ongoing operation of the cultural monuments with the greatest possible preservation of the historical substance.

The website is continually updated. You are always welcome to drop by and pay us another visit there!
