The landscape garden in Germany went through a highly heterogeneous development for the first five decades (1750–1800), which in its complexity represents a rich field of research. The garden writer, publisher and curator Wilhelm Gottlieb Becker (1753–1813) and his exceptional work “Der Plauische Grund mit Hinsicht auf Naturgeschichte und schöne Gartenkunst” (1799) stand out from previous garden historiography: The publication, planned as a contribution to garden art, draws upon scientific disciplines such as geology, geodesy, mineralogy, botany and entomology to describe the landscape area of the same name - and thus treads paths of interdisciplinarity at a time when the respective subject areas are still in their infancy. It is all the more surprising that author und book have received little attention so far. However, the study of them not only provides an important snapshot of the transition from the early days of experimentation to a mature classic landscape garden, but also promises to illuminate the approaches that led to a new landscape aesthetic, which has been known as a “land embellishment” since the beginning of the 19th century.The main aim of the project is to critically analyze the reception and impact of the publication in question by investigating stylistic and historical aspects thus providing a contribution to the historiography of garden art.

德国的风景园林在最初的五十年（1750-1800年）经历了高度异质性的发展，其复杂性代表了丰富的研究领域。花园作家、出版商和策展人威廉·戈特利布·贝克尔（Wilhelm Gottlieb Becker）（1753-1813）和他的杰出作品“Der Plauische Grund mit Hinsicht auf Naturgeschichte und schöne Gartenkunst”（1799）从以前的花园史学中脱颖而出：该出版物计划作为对园林艺术的贡献，借鉴了地质学，大地测量学，矿物学，植物学和昆虫学来描述同名的景观区域-从而在各自的学科领域仍处于起步阶段的时候走上了跨学科的道路。更令人惊讶的是，到目前为止，作者和书几乎没有受到关注。然而，对它们的研究不仅提供了从早期实验到成熟的经典风景园林过渡的重要快照，而且还有望阐明导致新的景观美学的方法，被称为“土地美化”自19世纪开始。该项目的主要目的是批判性地分析问题出版物的接受和影响，通过调查风格和历史方面，从而提供了一个贡献的园林艺术史学。
