1. Kurfürstlicher Marstall / Electoral Royal Stables Marker
Die Maulbeerallee, direkte Chaussee zum Heidelberger Schloß, bestimmte den Grundriß des 1759 zum Marktflecken erhobenen Dorfes. Den ein ganzes Quadrat einnehmenden Marstall hatte der kurpfälzische Generalissimus Prinz Friedrich von Pfalz-Zweibrücken in den Jahren 1750/52 bauen lassen. Kurfürst Carl Theodor erwarb 1759 den Marstall und erweiterte ihn.
Nach dem Ende der Kurpfalz 1803 wurde aus dem Marstall eine Kaserne, die von den Badischen Leibdragonern bezogen wurde. Bis zum Ende des ersten Weltkrieges war Schwetzingen ständig Garnisonsstadt.
1924 vernichtete ein Großfeuer den Südflügel. Ein Umbau des Haupttraktes ließ ein harmonisch gegliedertes Kaufhaus entstehen.
The Maulbeerallee, a direct road to Heidelberg Castle, determined the layout of the village, which was elevated to market town status in 1759. The stables, which took up an entire square, were built by the Electorate of the Palatinate Generalissimo Prince Friedrich of Palatinate-Zweibrücken in 1750/52. Elector Carl Theodor acquired the stables in 1759 and expanded them.
After the end of the Electorate of the Palatinate
