MUNICH: OLD BOTANICAL GARDEN [ALTER BOTANISCHER GARTEN]

2011-04-27T14:50:00.007+02:00

Munich´s Old Botanical Garden is located at Lenbachplatz, close to Karlplatz (Stachus) and the main station. It was built 1804-1814 by landscape architect Frederick Louis Sckell. After the New Botanical Garden had opened its doors in 1914, the (old) Botanical Garden turned into a public park. The remaining main attractions are the Neptune Fountain in the middle of the facility and a cafe in historic style, today's Park Café. In addition a small building was constructed which should serve as the studio of sculptor Josef Thorak. It was destroyed in World War II and later rebuilt by Munich artists. This location, called Munich Kunstpavillion, is now used for exhibitions. The original function of the Old Botanical Garden is still represented by a number of exotic trees.

Location: Munich, Lenbachplatz
Entrance fee / Admission charges: free entrance
Opening times: open day & night

MUNICH: ENGLISH GARDEN

2011-04-20T09:38:00.009+02:00

With an area of 3.7 qkm (1.4 sq mi) (958 ha) the English Garden is one of the world's largest public parks, situated right in the middle of the city. It is larger than New York's Central Park and even larger than the whole country of Monte-Carlo! You can easily spend the whole day at the park: wander from one beergarden to the other, lay down next to the Eisbach, a small river that crosses the park from south to north. Watch naked people running around on the lawn along the Eisbach. See the spectacular Eisbach Surfers on the famous Eisbach Wave. Mount the Chinese Tower and the Monopterus. Take a rowing boat or a pedal boat for a romantic trip across the Lake. Or simply drink another beer in of the beautiful beergardens.

AUER DULT

The history of the popular fair with its folkloric flair can be traced back to the Middle Ages. Three times a year, the locals flock to the Mariahilfplatz, in the part of town called the "Au", which means "meadow" or "pasture". During the "Dult", the fairground, which spreads over 20,000 square meters, becomes an friendly island in the heart of the city. Children and grown ups enjoy going on the bumper cars, the boat-like swings, the merry-go-round or the old ferris wheel. The Auer Dult is also Europe's largest market for tableware and all kinds of pots and pans. New-fangled household products are proudly praised as "kitchen marvels". And the junk dealers sell many a treasure, sometimes art and sometimes kitsch.

Spring-Dult starting on the last Saturday in April, lasting 9 days.
Summer-Dult starting on the last Saturday in July, lasting 9 days.
Autumn-Dult starting on the third weekend in October, lasting 9 days.
The final dates of this year´s Auer Dult´s can be viewed here.

MUNICH: FRAUENKIRCHE

2011-03-18T15:08:00.009+01:00

With its two onion shaped domes on top of the twin towers of the Gothic Cathedral, the silhouette of the "Frauenkirche" ["church of Our Lady"] is the best-known symbol of the city of Munich. The Frauenkirche is located in Munich's old town not far from Marienplatz (city center).
The building of the Frauenkirche began in 1468 under Duke Sigismund. During the Second World War the Frauenkirche was damaged very hard. It was rebuilt in several phases of construction and renovation.
The south tower of the cathedral can be climbed and offers a unique view over the rooftops of Munich to the Alps. In the entrance area of the imposing late-Gothic interior you will find the legendary Devil's foot step in the floor of the church.
