Carl Gustaf and Silvia visited the city palace and the city center / Special interest in flower arrangements in the castle garden
Royal splendor in the former royal capital of Fulda: the Swedish royal couple Carl XVI. Gustaf and Silvia paid East Hesse a private visit earlier this week. Fulda served as a stopover on the journey home towards Sweden. The royal couple, who are currently in summer vacation, stayed overnight at the Maritim Hotel am Schlossgarten from Monday to Tuesday and met Fulda's Lord Mayor Dr. Jörg during a private tour of the city palace.
Together with Elisabeth Schrimpf, the head of the Tourism and Congress Management Department of the City of Fulda, the Lord Mayor led the prominent guests through the most representative rooms of the city palace. Visually impressed were King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia of the Baroque Fürstensaal, the former Hall of Fulda prince abbots and prince-bishops and the collection of valuable porcelain from the Fulda porcelain manufactory (1764-1789). During the spontaneous guided tour in German and English, OB Wingenfeld also provided explanations on the history and present of Fulda - up to the point that rehearsals for the musical "Bonifatius" as the biggest open-air staging of the year in Germany on the neighboring Domplatz to run. Carl Gustaf pulled out his mobile phone and captured a few impressions from the baroque quarter and the imposing stage on the cathedral square via mobile phone photo. In a brief conversation with the OB, the royal couple was also impressed that the historic city palace serves as a museum and at the same time as the seat of the city administration.
Similarly surprised were also urban employees or citizens of Fulda, who had a late appointment in the town hall on Monday afternoon, when they met a real-life royal couple in the hallways. Carl Gustaf and Silvia were dressed in a reserved manner and looked like a normal tourist couple in the distance - but unobtrusively accompanied by security personnel. The relaxed atmosphere in the sunny Fulda seemed to please the royal guests, so the following day they used the opportunity shortly before departure for a short stroll through the baroque castle garden as well as through some streets of the city center. Elisabeth Schrimpf experienced the celebrity guests as "uncomplicated, charming and very interested".
