===Richmond Park, Brunswick, Germany===
The "[[Schloss Richmond#Park|Richmond Park]]" in Germany is named after the park in Britain and was created in 1768 in Brunswick for [[Princess Augusta of Great Britain|Princess Augusta]], sister of George III. She was married to the [[Charles William Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel|Duke of Brunswick]] and was feeling homesick, so an English-style park was designed by [[Lancelot "Capability" Brown]] and a palace built for her, both with the name "Richmond".<ref name="Brunswick">{{cite web | url=https://www.braunschweig.de/english/city/sights/_schloss_richmond.php | title=Schloss Richmond (Richmond Palace)|website= Stadt [[Braunschweig]] | access-date=12 May 2023}}</ref><ref name="Peter Bessin">{{cite book | title=Der Regent als Architekt.

In 1935, the palace including the entire estate was purchased by [[Braunschweig|the City of Braunschweig]]. One condition for the purchase was that no structural changes ever be made and the park not be built on. The palace, which was rebuilt after the Second World War and reconstructed in 1987 to the historic original design, is now used for public events.<ref name="Peter Bessin"/> The nearly four-hectare (10-acre) park has been open to the public since 1964.
