The iconography of the hunting lodge refer's to the Elector's hunting exploits, with the Elector himself appearing in four large scenes. Beside the stucco images of hunting expeditions, Diana, the goddess of hunting, features in the great ceiling painting of the stairwell.

The picture shows the ceiling of the stairwell with hunting scenes. The decoration is the work of Gerhard Koppers, a German painter (active c. 1707, d. ca. 1763).
