Royal park in Schwabing |
Karl-Theodor-Straße Petuel-Ring Munich, Bayern 80807 |
"This column and grove of ninety lime trees are to commemorate the gratitude felt by the city of Munich on the 12th March 1911, the ninetieth year in the life of His Royal Highness, the Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria, then in the 25th year of his reign." These words are inscribed on the column here and describe how Luitpoldpark, situated between Schwabing and the Olympic complex, came into being. The hill which rises 37m above the ground was made from a pile of rubble. The park also contains Bamberger Haus, a pavilion with a café and restaurant, and the caricature gallery 'Cartoon-Caricatur - Contor'. The house was restored to its present condition in 1983, having been destroyed in the War and subsequently neglected. Review © 2009, Wcities |
