The most privileged families had a private loge, in other words, their own separate seating area. The most impressive of them is the Hochberg Loge, which was given as a gesture of gratitude to the family of Count Johann Heinrich von Hochberg, who had donated 2,000 oaks for the construction of the churches, which equaled two-thirds of the total amount of wood that was needed.
