Dream wedding in the Fasanenschlösschen: New happiness for Claudia and Henrik!
Last Saturday, June 27th, 2025, there was a romantic wedding in picturesque Moritzburg that made many a dream come true. Claudia Richter and Henrik Richter got married in the Fasanenschlösschen, Saxony's smallest royal castle. Not only the two of them, but also their 20 invited guests were thrilled by the ceremony. Claudia described this special day as a childhood dream that she fulfilled. The planning was not without small challenges, as the coveted dates in the ballroom are allocated months in advance, and the Pheasant Castle opens its doors for weddings from May to September, usually on the first weekend of the month Sächsische.de reports.
The ceremony itself was perfectly organized and provided a wonderful backdrop for the couple, who met online five years ago. The two life partners arm themselves with a lot of commitment, Claudia is a tax advisor in Berlin, while Henrik works as an engineer in Hennigsdorf. After the “yes” in the small wedding ceremony, more than 50 guests celebrated in the Churfürstliche Waldschänke, as only a limited number of guests were allowed for the wedding ceremony.
Exclusive location with history
The Fasanenschlösschen not only offers a dazzling setting for weddings, but also has a historical background. It was the place where Elector Friedrich August III. celebrated magnificent celebrations. This charm and exclusive atmosphere make the Fasanenschlösschen a sought-after location for weddings. Couples who want to get married in Moritzburg must register their wish in advance at the registry office, as the rent for the ballroom is 750 euros. Interested parties can call 035207-85315 or 035207-85316 for appointment information, as the website of Schloss Moritzburg reports.
However, if you are planning your journey, you should note that the Fasanenschlösschen does not have a parking space. The wedding party has the option of traveling on foot or in a romantic carriage, which gives the whole thing an additional fairytale touch.
The wedding market in Saxony
The marriage statistics in Saxony show a continuing trend in the popularity of wedding celebrations, especially in romantic settings like Moritzburg. According to the Statistik Sachsen, marriage is a popular step in life, with the development and number of marriages remaining constant in recent years. These statistics not only provide interesting insights into the marriage behavior of Saxons, but are also used for demographic analyzes and updating the population.
What perhaps makes the wedding plan even more exciting is the fact that the law establishing the right to marry for persons of the same sex has been in force since October 2017. This has further increased the variety of wedding ceremonies that take place in Saxony and enriched the marriage environment.
The couple Claudia and Henrik have decided not to plan a honeymoon for now as they already traveled to China together in April - an adventure they won't forget. So the wedding day in the romantic setting of the Fasanenschlösschen remains an unforgettable event that will live on in the hearts of the couple and their guests.
