Emanuel Büchel (1705-1775) was a famous Swiss drawer, illustrator and aquarellist. He is best known for his drawings of native plants and the landscape in his home town Basel and the closer environment.
On occasion of his 300th birthday in 2005, the municipality of Pratteln created a themed walk, called "Büchel Weg" with eight stations around Pratteln. This is the seventh station. The drawing depicts the estate Neu-Schauenburg from south. The picture was etched for publication shortly after it was finished.
The main building of the estate that was used as a spa then, has not changed much, except for the wooden bridge to an outbuilding that was removed.
The sign with the picture is a few meters west of the location where Büchel created his drawing in 1754. There is no perfect match, because Büchel created a landscape that is less steep than in reality. You would have to dig a hole into the hill to find the perfect spot.
