Temple of Friendship at Schoenbusch Castle and Park, Aschaffenburg, Frankonia (Bavaria)
Some background information:
Schoenbusch Castle and Gardens is located in the Lower Franconian city of Aschaffenburg, just 3 km (about 2 miles) west of the city centre. The château is just a little summer residence, but it is surrounded by a huge landscape garden in the English style, that ranks among the greatest and oldest gardens of this character in Germany. Today it is an important local recreation area both for the residents of Aschaffenburg and the people from nearby Hessian and Rhineland-Palatinate agglomerations like Darmstadt, Frankfurt and Mainz.
The park that covers an area of 160 ha (1,600,000 square metres) was planned as a pleasure garden for Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal, prince-elector and archbishop-elector of the bishopric of Mainz, nearby his huge secondary residence Johannisburg Castle in Aschaffenburg’s city centre. In 1775, the redesign of the landscape began. Its point of origin was the electoral pheasant house and Nilkheim Forest, which was used as a hunting ground.
The little château in the gardens was built between 1778 and 1781 in the neo-classical style. It is connected with the great city palace Johannisburg Castle by a visual axis, which still exists. The ten rooms inside the château are furnished in the style of Louis XVI of France. After Aschaffenburg had become Bavarian in 1814, it was named Schoenbusch Castle after the lake and woodland scenery Schoener Busch (in English: "Beautiful Bush "), which was included in the design of the landscape garden.
The park was designed by Friedrich Ludwig Sckell, court gardener of Schwetzingen, who also planned the English Garden in Munich. It is characterised by several water areas like the Lower Lake, which surrounds a little island being accessible by a swing bridge. There are also three artificial hills, two of them connected by Devil’s Bridge, which leads to a lookout tower in the shape of a lighthouse on the highest of those hills.
Other buildings in the gardens include an inn with a beer garden near the park entrance, that already functioned as an inn at the end of the 18th century, the Temple of Friendship, a group of farm buildings known as The Village, which was intented to display the ideal of rural life, another group of shepherd buildings, the dining hall, the ball room, the orangery, the so-called Philospher’s House and several more.
But the park also includes a knot garden and some animal houses like the apiary as well as eight swan houses. Today the gardens are open to the public and their admission is free. However, if you want see the interior of Schoenbusch Castle you have to pay a small contribution.
With its approx. 70,000 residents, Aschaffenburg is the biggest city in the Northern Bavarian Lower Main Area. It is the most northwestern city in Bavaria and belonged to the Archbishopric of Mainz for more than 800 years, before it finally passed to Bavaria in 1814. In the east the town is bordered by the Spessart Hills, while it opens to Rhine-Main-Plain in the west and north-west. The inhabitants of Aschaffenburg speak neither Bavarian nor East Franconian, but rather a local version of the Rhine Franconian dialect.
The name Aschaffenburg ("Ascaphaburg" in the Middle Ages) originally meant "castle at the ash tree river" deriving from the river Aschaff that runs through parts of the town. The earliest remains of settlements in the area of Aschaffenburg date from the Stone Age. Aschaffenburg was originally a settlement of the Alamanni. Roman legions were stationed here, and on the ruins of their castra the Frankish mayors of the palace built a castle.
In the early dark age Saint Boniface erected a chapel dedicated to Saint Martin and founded a Benedictine monastery here, and in 989, Archbishop Willigis founded a stone bridge over the Main. In 1144, Aschaffenburg was awarded market rights and in 1161, it was also awarded town privilege. After the castle was destroyed in 1552 in the course of the Second Margrave War, Rennaissance-style Johannisburg Castle was built by Johann Schweikhard of Kronberg, the then prince-elector and archbishop-elector of the bishopric of Mainz. During the Thirty Years’ War the town suffered greatly, being held in turn by the various belligerents.
In 1803, the princedom of Aschaffenburg was created for Karl Theodor of Dalberg, the last prince-elector and archbishop-elector of the bishopric of Mainz. In 1810, the town became capital of the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt, but as a result of the Paris Treaty on 3rd June 1814, it passed to Bavaria, which it belongs to since then.
Between 1940 and 1945 Aschaffenburg and its important main station were the target of altogether 20 allied bomb attacks. Great parts of the city center were destroyed by these attacks and also Johannisburg Castle burnt down to the ground. Only the facades survived, but it was perfectly and precisely restored after the war. Today Aschaffenburg is again thriving and part of the metropolitan area of Frankfurt/Rhine-Main, where it gets fresh impetus from, although it is not located in Hesse or Rhineland-Palatinate.
I had such a mental block with designing this cake. It's for a 61 year old man, so I didn't want it to be cutsie. Definitely a challenge for me. :)

I headed to Shanlinshi, Nantou County in Taiwan with a couple of friends to try to spot our first Taiwan tiger snakes, also called tiger keelbacks (Rhabdophis tigrinus formosanus). After a slow start, we finally tracked down six hunting or basking around a garden full of tourists and workers, seemingly unfazed by their presence. One of them even passed within about a foot of me as I sat trying to to get it in focus.
These are the only snakes known to be both venomous and poisonous, in that they are rear-fanged (and therefore not considered too dangerous) but can bite, and also able to exude secretions from neck glands containing toxins sequestered rom toads that they eat.
