The Schwetzingen Palace was the summer residence of the Prince Electors of the Palatinate, who first had their main Palace in Heidelberg and later in Mannheim. Carl Theodor (1724-1799) was the Prince Elector who gave splendor to the Schwetzingen Palace, developed a magnificent baroque garden and built a wonderful rococo theater. Important personalities were once guests of Carl Theodor at the summer residence, like Voltaire and also Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who gave concerts here.
