The garden palace on Kumpfmühler Strasse and its extensive park, today's Dörnbergpark, became the property of Baron Ernst Friedrich von Dörnberg in 1832. As head of the princely administration, he drove forward profitable industrial projects for the House of Thurn und Taxis. Under his direction, the park was lavishly landscaped, a rosarium was laid out and a garden pavilion in the Swiss country house style was built in the northern part of the park. His son, also named Ernst Friedrich and born in 1836, was able to expand the family fortune considerably. In his will, Count Dörnberg stipulated: "My entire fortune, regardless of its nature, is to be used to support orphans, award scholarships and establish charitable and useful institutions ...". The Count von Dörnberg's Orphans' Foundation survived the turmoil of the wars and still supports orphans with considerable sums every year.
