Who designed the Amalienburg hunting lodge, a jewel of German Rococo architecture?

Who designed the Amalienburg hunting lodge? François de Cuvilliés designed it.

The Amalienburg stands in the grounds of Nymphenburg Palace in Munich and is one of the earliest and most celebrated German Rococo buildings. François de Cuvilliés the Elder created the design for Elector Karl Albrecht of Bavaria and his wife, Maria Amalia of Austria. Construction lasted from 1734 to 1739.

It was built as a refined hunting pavilion, especially for pheasant hunting, rather than as a full residence. Its roof included a raised shooting platform, while the interior centered on the dazzling circular Hall of Mirrors. Silvered ornament, pastel colors, curving forms, and naturalistic decoration give the building its characteristic Rococo lightness.

A common mix-up is crediting every part of the lodge to Cuvilliés alone. He designed the architecture and ornament scheme, but Johann Baptist Zimmermann produced much of the stucco work and Johann Joachim Dietrich contributed ornamental carvings. The Amalienburg is therefore both Cuvilliés's architectural masterpiece and a collaborative achievement of Bavarian Rococo craftsmanship.
