The Japanese Pavilion is a donation from rich Cottbus citizens. It is an expression of the distance and beauty of the world. The pavilion was handed over to the Cottbusers on November 26, 1906. The building, in keeping with the trend of the time, with its architectural culture from the Middle and Far East, had Asian models. Design: Architect / Baurat Arno Pasig. Responsible for the construction: City architect Georg Nippert and city garden director Julius Kurfeß. Execution: Alfred Simon. The pavilion stands on a square solid base, on the east side six steps lead to the pavilion. Colored tiles adorned the floor. Graduated roof construction supported on four round solid columns (imitation solid wood), swinging out roof similar to a pagoda with wooden scales made of aspen wood. The effects of the First World War had not left the pavilion unscathed. Therefore, the first renovations had to start in 1920. In the 1980s renewal of the plants with species from Asia Minor. Last renovations in 2001/02 and upgrading in 2006/09, including with rare quartz slate stones. Architecturally an extremely rare gem, affectionately known by the Cottbusers as “our tea house”, the pavilion is a listed building. For more than 100 years it has connected the northeastern parts of the historic old town with its constantly revitalized and designed surroundings.
