  • Schloss Neuschwanstein
    Schloss Neuschwanstein Neuschwanstein Castle, which King Ludwig II built on a rugged hill against a backdrop of picturesque mountain scenery, was prompted by the idea of rebuilding an existing ruin "in the authentic style of the old German knights' castles", as he wrote in a letter to Richard Wagner. Seven weeks after the death of King Ludwig II in 1886, Neuschwanstein was opened to the public. The shy king had built the castle in order to withdraw from public life – now vast numbers of people came to view his private refuge. Today Neuschwanstein is one of the most popular of all the palaces and castles in Europe. Every year 1.3 million people visit "the castle of the fairy-tale king". In the summer around 6,000 visitors a day stream through rooms that were intended for a single inhabitant. Throne Room The Throne Room of Neuschwanstein resembles a Byzantine church. Ludwig II had actually given instructions for it "to be based on the Munich All Saints Church" as well as "St Sophia in Constantinople" (Hagia Sophia in Istanbul). The throne, which was to stand like an altar in the apse of the hall, was never built. Ludwig II had expectations of his kingly role that could scarcely be met; this is vividly illustrated by the Throne Hall's many pictures. The Throne Room in the form of a Byzantine church looks as if it is decorated with precious stones and mosaics. The pillars are however made of coloured stucco and the "mosaics" are paintings. Ludwig himself wrote: "The illustrations have been selected in accordance with the elevated purpose of the Throne Room, which is to proclaim that the Throne is the source of authoritative law-making".

  • Endless Shades of Green
    Page 1 Munich's Parks and Gardens: Endless Shades of Green (March 1, 2017) Munich is sprawling. Munich is lively. And Munich is very green. Parks, gardens and the Isar river present the perfect counterpoint to the pulsing city beat, to sightseeing and shopping. The city can look back on a long tradition of historical gardens. The park of Nymphenburg Palace was established already in the 17th century and the English Garden in the 18th century. Today the locals and their guests can enjoy their time out in public parks extending over roughly 5,680 acres. Munich’s Most Royal Park You can’t help but feel princely when taking a stroll through the park of Nymphenburg Palace. In the gardens dating from the 18th century, small splendid buildings such as Amalienburg, Badenburg and Pagodenburg are waiting to be discovered. Basins, fountains, lakes, bridges, pavilions, enclosed and decorative gardens are perfectly suited to stimulate the visitor’s imagination. In the mood for a baroque garden? The historical canals, fountains and boscages in the park of Schleißheim Palace will take you back to a courtly past. Munich’s Greatest Park The English Garden with its 990 acres of parkland is said to be even larger than Central Park in New York. At any rate, it offers abundant space for sports activities and bicycling. The quiet and idyllic northern part with its vast meadows is the ideal Contact: Department of Labor and Economic Development München Tourismus, Trade & Media Relations Sendlinger Str. 1, 80331 München, Tel.: +49 89 233-30345 Email: [email protected], www.simply-munich.com Page 2 destination for those in search of rest and relaxation.

  • STRONG BEER FESTIVAL in BAVARIA the Bavarian Fifth Season: Strong Beer Festival
    HAVE GERMAN WILL TRAVEL Starkbierzeit STARKBIERZEIT IN MUNCHEN / STRONG BEER SEASON THE STRONG BEER FESTIVAL IN BAVARIA The Bavarian fifth season: Strong Beer Festival The first thing to be said is that the Purity Law of 1516 insists that beer brewed in Germany can contain only water, malt, hops and yeast. Yet the result is a medley of highly complex aromas and tastes across an astonishing spectrum. The second is the influence of changing seasons. In spring, when it's still too cold to enjoy a stein outdoors in the beer garden, the beers of choice are bocks - Bockbier and Doppelbock: strong, malty and warming. These beers are produced in March, during the 'Strong Beer Season' (Starkbierzeit), a tradition begun by 17th century Paulaner monks brewing what they called 'Holy Father Beer' (Sankt Vater Bier). In Lent, when fasting monks were only allowed liquids, this developed into a dark beer style called 'Salvator' that was 'double' strong (doppel). Salvator is still brewed today. Oktoberfest is the most well-known beer festival in Germany - even the world - but it is far from the only bierfest. Germans love their beer and Munich is the site of several large b.efil: festivals, such as the Starkbierfest (strong beer festival) between winter and spring. The "insider's Oktoberfest", locals shake off winter hibernation with beers of Herculean strength. Starkbiers (strong, dark beers) are the drink of choice in this coldest of seasons. The festival is tied to monks, fasting and the changing of the seasons and has been celebrated since the 16th century. The barely-publicized two week event, centered around the Paulaner brewery, is a much-loved local tradition and the end to what Bavarians call the "fifth season." It may be slower-paced and less touristy than the Oktoberfest, but that doesn't make the beer maids working there any more intent on a perfect pour, society members say.

    Voluntary Report – Voluntary - Public Distribution Date: February 19,2021 Report Number: EZ2021-0002 Report Name: The Virtual Czech Brew Master Webinar Focused on American Hops Country: Czech Republic Post: Prague Report Category: Beverages, Food Processing Ingredients, CSSF Activity Report Prepared By: Martina Hlavackova Approved By: Kirsten Luxbacher Report Highlights: FAS Prague and the Beer Academy Czech Republic held the 4th Czech Brew Master webinar at the American Center Prague (AC) on December 1, 2020. The webinar educated 80 participants about American hops and encouraged them to experiment with the ingredient in new combinations and recipes. Due to measures put in place to control the spread of COVID-19, 2020 was a difficult year for the food and drink service sector in the Czech Republic, to which the craft beer industry is closely interconnected. Despite this challenge, the webinar concluded with lots of hope for future growth of the Czech craft beer scene.
