PREFACE. /?/5/3
i?/V
Ibe Handbook lor Soiitlioni Germany, which is now issued
for the twelfth time, is designed to assist the traveller in planning
his tonr and disposing of his time to the best advantage, to render
him as far as possible independent of the services of guides, com-
missionnaires, and hotel-keepers, and to enable him the more thor-
onghly to enjoy and appreciate the objects of interest he meets with
on his tour.
The Handbook is based on the personal observation of the Editor,
and most of the country described has been repeatedly explored by
him with a view to procuring the latest possible information; but, as
many of the data in the Handbook relate to matters which are con-
stantly undergoing alteration, he will highly appreciate any correc-
tions or suggestions with which travellers may favour him. Those
already received, which in many instances have proved most useful,
he gratefully acknowledges. Hotel-bills, with annotations, are speci-
ally useful.
The Handbook is divided into Two Sections (I. "VVurtemberg;
II. Bavaria), each of which may be separately removed from the
volume by cutting the gauze backing visible on opening the book at
the requisite pages. Linen covers for these sections may be obtained
through any bookseller. The Alpine tourist will find the mountainous
districts more fully described in the Handbook to the Eastern Alps.
For Baden, Alsace, Lorraine, and Rhenish Bavaria the traveller is
referred to the Handbook to the Rhine.
The Maps and Plans, on which special care has been bestowed,
> will, it is hoped, render material service to the traveller in plan-
ning his tour.
^ Distances by road and railway are given approximately in <
English miles; but in hilly districts they are often expressed by
^ the time in which they can be accomplished by average walkers,
^\ kilometre is approximately = ^/g English mile; 8 km. = 5 M.
' Heights are given in the text in English feet, on the maps in
metres (1 Engl. ft. = 0.3048 metre = 0.971 Prussian ft.), and the
Populations in accordance with the latest census.
Hotels. The Editor has endeavoured to enumerate, not only
the first-class hotels, but also others of more modest pretensions,
which may be safely selected by the 'voyageur en gar^on' with
little sacrifice of comfort and considerable saving of expenditure.
Hotel-charges, as well as carriage-fares and fees to guides, are

vi PREFACE.
liable to frequt^nt variation, and generally have a strong upward
tendency; but these items, as stated in the Handbook either from
the personal experience of the Editor or from data furnished by
numerous correspondents, will at least aiford the traveller an ap-
proximate idea of his expenditure. The asterisks indicate those
hotels which the Editor has reason to believe to be especially
worthy of commendation in proportion to their charges. At the
same time the Editor does not doubt that equal excellence may
often be found in hotels that are unstarred and even unmentioned.
To hotel-keepers, tradesmen, and others the Editor begs to in-
timate that a character for fair dealing and courtesy towards
travellers is the sole passport to his commendation, and that ad-
vertisements of every kind are strictly excluded from his Hand-
books. Hotel-keepers are also warned against persons representing
themselves as ag-ents for Baedeker's Handbooks.

INTRODUCTION.
I. Language. Money. Expenses.
Language. A slight acquaiutance with German is very desir-
able for those who purjjose exploring the remoter districts of
Southern Germany, but tourists who keep to the beaten track will
generally find English or French spoken at the principal hotels and
tourist-resorts. If, however, they are entirely ignorant of the lan-
guage, they will occasionally have to submit to the extortions prac-
tised by porters, cab-drivers, and others of a like class, which even
the data in the Handbook will not always enable them to avoid.
Money. The German mark f<v^j, which is nearly equivalent to
the English shilling, is divided into 100 pfennigs. Bank-notes of
20, 50, 100, and 1000 ^^ are issued by the German Imperial Bank
(Deutsche Reichsbank), and others of 100 and 500 ^i ^ with a
limited circulation, by four other chartered banks. There are be-
sides treasury-bills (Reichskassen-Scheine) of 5 and 10 ,Ji. The
current gold coins are pieces of 10 and 20 marks, the intrinsic value
of which is slightly lower than that of the English half-sovereign and
sovereign (1^. being worth about 20 Ji 43 pf.). The silver coins are
pieces of 5, 3, 2, 1, and */2 mark (50 pf.). In nickel there are coins
of 25, 10, and 5 pfennigs, and in copper there are pieces of 2 and
1 pfennig. — In Austria the monetary unit is the Krone (K) =
100 Heller (h); comp. the money-table before the title-page.
English sovereigns and bank-notes may be exchanged at all
the principal towns, and napoleons are also favourably received
(20 fr. = 16s. = 16 ^/^ 20 pf.). Those who travel with large sums
should carry them in the form of letters of credit or circular notes
of 5/. or 10/. J as their value, if they are lost or stolen, is recov-
erable. The travellers' cheques issued by the American Express
Companies may also be recommended.
Expenses. The expense of a tour in Southern Germany is less
than in most other European countries. The modest pedestrian,
who knows sojncthiug of the language and avoids the beaten track
as much as possible, may succeed in limiting his expenditure to
10-12s. per day. Those, on the other hand, who prefer driving to
walking, choose the dearest hotels, and employ guides and com-
missionnaires, must be prepared to spend 25-306\ daily.
II. Passports. Custom Houses.
Passports are now unnecessary in Germany, except for
students who wish to matriculate at a German university, but they
are frequently useful in proving the identity of the traveller, pro-
xii RAILWAYS.
curiug admission to collections, and obtaining delivery of registered
letters. Cyclists and motorists shonld always carry passports.
Passports may be obtained direct from the Passport Department of
the Foreign Office". Whitehall (fee 2s.). or through any of the usual tourist-
agents. — In the United States application for passports should be made
to the Bureau of Citizenship, State Department, Washington, D.C.
Custom House formalities are now almost everywhere lenient.
As a rule, however, articles purchased during the journey and not
destined for personal use should be declared at the frontier.
III. Railways. Omnibuses.
Railways. Eailway travelling in Germany is less expensive
than in most other parts of Europe, and the carriages are generally
clean and comfortable. The second-class carriages, with spring-
seats, are sometimes as good as those of the first class in England.
Smoking is allowed in all the carriages (in first-class compartments
only if all ti^vellers agree), except those 'Ftir Nichtraucher' and the
coupes for ladies. — Xo one is admitted to the platform without
either a railway-ticket or a platform-ticket (Bahnsteig-Karte); the
latter (10 pf.) may be obtained from the automatic macliiues placed
for the purpose at the stations. The average fares for the different
classes by ordinary trains (Personen-Ztige), which often have no first-
class carriages, and by fast trains (Eil-Ziige) are 1- 5 c/., ^ k, c?., and
2 5 d. per Engl. M. respectively (7, 41. o, and 3 pf. per kilometre), be-
sides a stamp-duty included in the prices of the tickets and varying
from 5 pf. to 8 c/// according to distance and class. By express-trains
(Schnell-Ziige : with three classes), and by the through corridor-trains
(D-Ziige), which sometimes have no third-class carriages, there is.
moreover, an additional tax of 2.5 pf. to 2 tJL There is no reduction
in the fare of return-tickets. The seats in the through corridor-trains
are numbered and reserved, and may be ordered in advance at the
stations of departure (no fee). Each ticket is available for four days
and permits the journey to be broken once without any formality.
No Luggage is allowed free except smaller articles taken by the
passenger into his carriage. The heavier luggage must be booked,
and a ticket procured for it. The charge per 25 kilogrammes (55 lb.)
is 20 pf. up to 50 km. (31 M.), 50 pf. up to 300 km. (186 M.), and
1 c^ beyond 300 km. Trunks should be at the station at least V4 hr,
before the train starts. Luggage once booked, the traveller need not
look after it till he arrives at his final destination, where it will be
kept in safe custody (24 hrs. gratis) until he presents his ticket.
When, however, a frontier has to be crossed, the traveller should.
see his luggage cleared at the custom-house in person. Porters are
entitled to a fee, fixed by tariff, for carrying luggage to or from the
cab. At most staitions there is a left-luggage office for small baggage,
where a charge of 10 pf. per day is made for each package.
MOTORING. xiii
The enormous weight of the trunks used by some travellers not un-
frequently inflicts serious injury on the hotel and railway porters who
handle them. Travellers are therefore urged to place their heavy articles
in the smaller packages and thus minimize the evil as far as possible.
Circular Tour Tickets (Zusammenstellbare Fahrschein-Hefte;
see the Reichs-Kursbuch, § 733) for prolonged tours are not issued
for distances under 600 km. (373 M.); those for distances up to
3000 km. (1864 M.) are valid for 60 days, for 3000-5000 km.
(3109 M.) for 90 days, and beyond that distance for 120 days. The
journey can be broken without formality at any of the stations.
These tickets (books of coupons) must be ordered one day before
the beginning of the journey on special forms to be obtained at the
railway stations or at the city offices. They are available by all
trains, though an extra charge is made for the use of the inter-
national 'Luxus-Ziige' (1st cl. only). Their use is convenient, but
they are no cheaper than ordinary tickets.
In Wurtemberg Season Tickets (Landes-Fahrkarten), valid for
15 days and permitting the holder to travel at will over all the
Wurtemberg state-lines, are issued for 45, 30, or 20 <JC according
to class. Applications for these must be made at least 1 hr. in ad-
vance and be accompanied by an unmounted photograph of the ap-
plicant and a deposit of 3 ^.
Railway Time throughout Germany is that of Central Europe,
which is one hour in advance of Greenwich time.
Time Tables. Information as to the departure of trains, steam-
ers, and omnibuses is most trustworthy when obtained from local
sources. The best German publications of the kind are the •Reichfi-
KurshufJi (21/., «y^; published at Berlin), ^HendscheVs Telegraph'
{2'^J2^; smaller edit. 1^'^zJl)^ both issued eight times a year, and
'Storm's Kurshnch fiirs Reich' (It,//.* four times yearly).
Omnibuses and Motor Omnibuses now ply on all the
chief tourist-routes, almost entirely superseding the old diligences.
They are generally roomy and comfortable, and run in connection
with the chief trains. The Reichs-Kursbuch (see above) mentions only
the most important lines, but there are others which maybe of use
to the tourist. The state motor-omnibuses only accept luggage when
accompanied by the traveller in person.
IV. Motoring and Cycling.
Motor Cars entering Germany are liable to pay a customs-duty,
which varies according to weight and is returned when the car leaves

may deposit the amount of the duty with it, in exchange for a doc-
ument ('triptyque') which exempts them from customs formalities

must take out an official permission (Erlaubnis-Karte ; up to 90 days
50 <Ji). The home-licence and chauffeur's certificate must be counter-
signed by a Grerman consul and should be carried. It is best to
procure from the home authorities an international pass, valid for
one year throughout Europe. This must be revised at the frontier,
and the cars must then display at the back, besides the official plate
of their country, another indicating their nationality (GB for Great
Britain, U 8 for America). Persons under 18 years of age are not
allowed to drive motor-cars or ride motor-cycles. In populous dis-
tricts the speed-limit is 15 km. (9 M.) per hr. The rule of the road is
to keep to the right in meeting and to pass on the left in overtaking.
Cycles accompanied by their owners are admitted into Ger-
many duty-free. On the railways uncrated bicycles are carried as
personal luggage. For distances up to 100 km. (62 M.), however,
the rider may take a bicycle-ticket (Fahrrad-Karte; 20 pf.); he must
then himself take his cycle to and from the baggage-car, and must
also transfer it from One train to the other if carriages are changed
en route. Motor -cycles must pay the luggage -rate. Some of the
busier streets in towns are closed to cyclists. The police have
the right to demand the exhibition of the cyclist's club-ticket or
passport.
Among the bestRoAB Maps are those issued hy Ravenstein<&Liebe7ioiv,
Mittelhach, and L. Ravenstein. The German volume of tlie Continental
Road Book published by the Cyclists' Touring Club will be found useful.
V. Hotels.
The first-class hotels in the principal towns and watering-places
throughout Germany are generally good and somewhat expensive;
but it frequently happens that in old-fashioned hotels of unassum-
ing exterior, particularly in places.off the beaten track, the traveller
finds more real comfort and much' lower charges.
The average charges in the first-class hotels are as follows : room
(including light and attendance) 3-5 Jl, plain breakfast 1-1^/2 <Jii
dinner 3-5 ^6, pension {i.e. board, lodging, and attendance) 7-10 ^L
In some of the most luxurious houses and for extra accommodation
the charges are considerably higher. Pedestrians and travellers of
moderate requirements will find the country inns very reasonable,
5-6s. a day being generally sufficient to include every item. The
prices for rooms given in this Handbook include light and atten-
dance. — Small gratuities are expected by the portier, boots (Haus-
knecht), chambermaid, and head -waiter (Oberkellner). The total
amount of these may be reckoned at about 10 ^/q of the bill.
When the traveller remains for a week or more at a hotel, it
is advisable to call for his account every two or three days, in
order that erroneous insertions may be at once detected. A habit
too often prevails of presenting the bill at the last moment, when
errors or impositions cannot easily bo rectified. Those who intend
POST OFFICE. XV
starting early in the morning should therefore ask for their bills
on the previous evening.
Hotel -keepers who wish to commend their houses to British and
American travellers are reminded of the desirability of providing the
bedrooms with large basins, foot-baths, plenty of water, and an adequate
supply of towels. Great care should be taken to ensure that the sanitary
arrangements are in proper order, including a strong flush of water and
proper toilet-paper; and no liouse that is deficient in this respect can
rank as first-class or receive a star of commendation, whatever may be
its excellencies in other departments.
English travellers often impose considerable trouble by ordering
things unknown in Grerman usage; and if ignorance of the language
be added to want of conformity to the customs, misunderstandings
and disputes are apt to ensue. The reader is therefore recommended
to endeavour to adapt his requirements to the habits of the country,
and to acquire if possible such a moderate proficiency in the lan-
guage as to render him intelligible to the servants.

for the United States 20 pf. per 40 ^).
Telegrams. The minimum charge' for a telegram to Great
Britain or Ireland is 80 pf., to any other European country 50 pf.,

to the United States cost from 1 t,/^ 5 to 1 1^ 60 pf. per word. —
Telegrams despatched and received .within the same town are
charged 3 pf. per word (minimum 30 pf.). Urgent telegrams,

South German Art.
A Historical Sketch by Professor Anton Springer.
It is neither the function nor the intention of the following
sketch to divert the traveller's attention from the beauties of nature
and to direct it instead to the study of art. But the great cities of
Southern G-ermany, whether they be the express object of the travel-
ler's journey or temporary resting-places on his way elsewhere,
cannot fail of themselves to inspire him with some interest in the
art both of the present and of the past; while at numerous other
• points his glance is arrested and his attention excited by ancient or
modern monuments of art. Interest in such things has widened and
deepened to a surprising extent within recent times. A few decades
ago old-fashioned German furniture was ignored, and German build-
ings of the 16th and 17th centuries were for the most part passed
by with a contemptuous shrug. Now the 'G-erman Renaissance' is a
theme of admiration and an object for eager imitation. Then only
a few mediaeval cathedrals received the meed of general admiration
or passed muster as true works of artistic genius, while the over-
whelming majority of mediaeval works remained unknown and un-
regarded. JVoi/; hardly anyone is either wholly indifferent to or wholly
ignorant of the development of art in the middle ages. The culti-
vation of the historic sense has largely affected the aesthetic attitude
in this direction, swelling the aggregate of artistic interest and
bringing the more remote periods within the limits of intelligent
comprehension. It is the object of the following lines to support and
extend this historic sense.
The civilization and art of Southern Germany reach back to a very
early period; they antedate by a thousand years the entrance of the
North German lands into the light of authentic history. Numerous
excavations have yielded traces of an early intercourse with Italy,
carried on to some extent before the Christian era; and not less
numerous traces have been found of the Roman settlements that
were established along the great trade-routes and waterways, though
these Roman discoveries are far inferior both in extent and import-
ance to those in the valley of the Moselle and elsewhere on the left
bank of the Rhine. The Roman remains at Treves appeal to the
imagination of the ordinary traveller, while the Roman remains in
N^oricum and Rhaetia arrest the attention of the archaeologist only.
Christianity early made its way into Southern Germany (St. Severin-
us; 5th cent.), and Frank and Irish missionaries reaped a rich
harvest. Convent after convent was founded; and there is probably
Baedeker's S. Germany. 12th Edit. b
xviii SOUTH aEHMAN ART.
no other district where monastic establishments were so thickly
planted about the close of the 10th cent, as the banks of the Danube
and at the foot of the Alps. Most of these preserved their celebrity and
their wealth almost down to the nineteenth century, though their im-
portance as art-monuments has in many instances disappeared with
the substitution of new buildings for old ones. No considerable art-
monuments have come down to us even from the Carlovingian
period, which saw the beginning of Ratisbon's importance, except
in the domains of the goldsmith's craft and miniature-painting. The
Reiche Kapelle at Munich contains the finest specimens of the
former, the libraries at Munich and Vienna of the latter.
The unbroken chain of artistic activity begins for us about the
10th century. The art-style which prevailed from the 10th to the
13th cent, is generally known as the Romaxesqtje. Its characteristics
find their most distinct expression in ecclesiastical architecture. The "
plan of the Romanesque church was suggested by the Roman basilica
of early-Christian times, the essence of which consisted in an oblong
hall, divided into three aisles by two rows of columns. At one end
of the basilica was a semicircular vaulted recess, known as the Apsis ;
at the other end was a fore-court (Atrium), enclosed by a portico.
Occasionally a transept was interposed between the three-aisled nave
and the apse, and thus the whole building gradually assumed the
clearly marked form of a cross. In the course of centuries and in
difl'erent countries this early-Christian nucleus underwent numerous
modifications, some due to the use of new building materials, some
to peculiarities of national customs, but most to the at first slowly
growing improvement in technical skill. It is apparent from the
earliest Romanesque edifices that their builders had difficulty in
rising to the demands of their task, and that they had but scanty
notions of measure and proportion. Romanesque architecture did
not attain an artistic perfection until the 12th century.
It is not difficult to identify a Romanesque building and at the
same time to decide with some certainty whether it belongs to the
earlier or later period (i.e. 11th or 12th cent.). The characteristic
forms of the Romanesque style are everywhere essentially the same.
The round arch is used to unite the interior pillars or columns, to
finish off windows and portals, and to form a continuous frieze on
the exterior wall ; the columns have either cubical capitals or foliage-
capitals modelled on the antique ; the ornamentation is predominantly
either in the geometric style (lozenges, zigzags, chequer-work) or
of conventionalized foliage. In the earlier churches vaulting is used
only for the crypt, the burial vaults, and the apse, while the nave
has a flat roof; but by the 12th cent, we find the vault-principle
triumphant, while the supporting pillars are also more richly arti-
culated. At the foot of the columns appears the base -ornament,
uniting the plinth with the torus of the base.
SOUTH GERMAJJ^ ART. ' xix
Though it is thus easy to recognize the general Romanesque
character of a building, there are no sufficiently distinctive peculi-
arities to diiferentiate the style prevailing in Southern Gfermany from
that prevailing elsewhere. Even when we confine ourselves to nar-
rower limits and inquire whether the Romanesque buildings in
Southern Germany could be classified into Alemannic, Swabian,
Bavarian, and Austrian groups, we arrive at no satisfactory result.
All that we can say is that columns are frequently used to support
the upper walls (this form being known as the columnar basilica)
and that there is a frequent tendency towards a richly decorative
and even fantastic arrangement of the interior fittings. No traveller
in the neighbourhood of the Lake of Constance should omit to visit
the three churches on the island of Reichenau (p. 88); that at Ober-
zell, a small columnar basilica, dates back to the 9th cent., while
the larger church at Mittelzell is probably one of the oldest pillar-
basilicas in the district. The church of the former Benedictine abbey
of Alpirsbach (p. 61) in the Kinzig-Tal, founded in the 11th cent.,
surprises us by its stately proportions and the perspicuous devel-
opment of the ground-plan ; while another Swabian church, that of
Maidhy^onn (p. 20), is an excellent specimen of a large mediaeval con-
ventual edifice. Ratishon I'p. 202) is rich in Romanesque buildings,
including St. Stephans-Kapelle, the Obermiinster, the St. Jakobs-
Kirche, and the church of St. Emmerani. Several of these have
been sadly disfigured by later decorations; and indeed the true
Romanesque nucleus of many churches can only with difficulty be
disentangled from later alterations. The meaning of the fantastic
plastic embellishments on the portal of St. Jakob will probably
excite the curiosity of the ordinary traveller even less than the
sculptures in the spacious crypt of Freisimj Cathedral (p. 232\
which are, at any rate, decorative in their general effect.
The churches mentioned above, some of which lie quite off the
main lines of communication, appeal on the whole mainly to the
professional archaeologist or architect. There is, however, at least
one Romanesque church in Southern Germany which will excite the
warm admiration of the tourist and yield him unqualified delight,
namely Bamberg Cathedral (p. 147). The plan of this church in-
cludes a nave and aisles, an elevated choir at each end with a crypt
below, and a transept between the W. choir and the nave. In com-
parison with other buildings in the same style it takes a pre-em-
inent place by its imposing dimensions, by its spacious, airy, and
harmonious proportions, by the elaborate ornamentation of its portals
(B'iirsten-Tiir), and by the number and variety of its towers. The
occurrence of the pointed arch must not mislead the visitor into the
error of taking it as a sign of the admixture of Gothic elements.
The Gothic style is not characterized by the pointed arch, which
was also used in earlier times, but by its system of buttresses to

counteract tlie thrust of the vaulting, by its abundant use of ar-
ticulation, and by the rich ornamentation applied to -^all-surfaces
and other non-constructive portions of the building.
The early-Gothic period is but scantily represented in Southern
Germany, and it is not till the second half of the 13th century that
the Gothic Style appears here in a developed and victorious form,
while the building activity of the two following centuries brought
it to a pitch of great perfection. The number of Gothic edifices on
South German soil is very large, and the variety they show is very
remarkable. An imposing series of cathedrals, accompanied by at
least as many parochial city-churches and conventual churches,
extends all the way from Alsace to the borders of Hungary. Frei-
burg Cathedral (see Baedeker's Rhine) may be coupled with Strass-
burg Cathedral as among the finest structures of its class, if not
in unity of style, yet by the completeness of its execution and by
its imposing tower and airy pyramid of perforated masonry. With
the exception of Prague Cathedral, the choir of which shows the
influence of French models, the South German cathedrals testify to
considerable independence on the part of their architects. The
French masters were probably not unknown to these, but they did
not allow themselves to be dominated by foreign ideas. Ratishon
Cathedral (p. 204), begun in 1275 and completed after a long
interval in the 19th cent., shows neither the marked development of
the transept nor the rich elaboration of the choir which were custom-
ary in the cathedrals of AVestern Europe. The transept does not
project beyond the aisles, and the nave and aisles each end in a
separate apse instead of the aisles extending in the form of an
ambulatory round the choir. Another peculiarity in German cath-
edrals is that the nave and aisles are occasionally of the same height
— a peculiarity found nowhere else in cathedral-architecture, the
beginning and early development of which must be attributed to
the architects of Northern France. Thus the choir of the Cathedral
of St. Stephen., at Vienna, a work of the 14th century, has its nave
and aisles of the same height, while the main nave of the church,
of a little later date, is but slightly higher than the aisles and is
united under the same roof with them. Ulni Minster (p. 47)
is only a parish-church, and thus lacks the extensive choir necessary
for the numerous clergy of a cathedral, while it has only one tower
on the fagade; the ambition of the citizens, however, made it one
of the largest and loftiest Gothic churches in Germany.
The number of the notable Gothic churches in Southern Germany
is by no means exhausted by the foregoing list of cathedrals and
minsters. The towns of Swabia were distinguished for their great
activity in building during the later middle ages. In the Frauen-
Kirche Esslingen (p. 42) possesses a masterpiece, which, though of
small dimensions, is rich in ornamentation of every kind, culminat-

ing in the graceful open-work tower. Similar small towers of open-
work are found at Bebenhausen near Tubingen, at Thann in Alsace,
and at Maria-Strassengel in Styria. Among the other fine Gothic
churches of Swabia are the minster of Uherdingen on the Lake of
Constance (p. 93), the Kreuz-Kirche at Gmiind (p. 39j, the Georgs-
Kirche at Nordlingen (p. 192j, the Georgs-Kirche at Dinkelshiihl
(p. 193), and the abbey-church of Tiihingen (p. 55). The churches of
Nuremberg (p. 163) form a well-known group; the impression pro-
duced by the choir and richly decorated Braut-Ttir of St. Sebaldus and
by the facade of the Lorenz-Kirche is a very striking one. The small
importance attached to tradition even in the 14th century is il-
lustrated by the way in which the fagade of the Liebfrauen-Kirche
(p. 171) differs from earlier ecclesiastical fronts. In Bavaria our in-
terest is excited mainly by a few hi;ge brick edifices, like the Frauen-
Kirche at Munich (p. 246) and the Martins -Kirche at Landshut
(p. 231), which served as the model of a whole series of churches.
The Gothic style was also sedulously cultivated in Bohemia from
the time of Charles IV. onwards. In Prague there are the Cathedral,
the Teyn-Kirche, and the Synagogue, while the bold vaulting of the
Karlshof Church also excites the interest of the architect. There are
other handsome edifices, some of which recall the earlier cathedral-
style, in such provincial towns asKolin, Kuttenberg, Pilsen, andEger.
Towards Italy the limits of the spread of the Gothic style is
marked by the parish-church of Botzen, towards the E. by the
church of St. Elizabeth at Kaschau. Few of the parochial and mon-
astic churches of the towns are remarkable for their structural forms,
which are generally of great simplicity, while the original ground-
plan is often wholly lost amid alterations and additions. The richness
and artistic merit of the decoration of their individual parts is,
however, perhaps all the more striking on this account. The archi-
tect is thrown into the shade by the sculptor. The mouldings on
the walls, the tracery of the windows, the details of the buttresses,
and the carvings of the doorways are all executed with the most
admirable care and in the richest and most delicate manner, while
the interior of the church is filled with works of art in metal, stone,
and wood.
Sculpture and Painting both find a favourable soil in Southern
Germany in the 15th century. The former, in particular, is indebted
for its solid foundation and its admirable command of technical
skill to its diligent practitioners of the Gothic period. It thus does
not break abruptly with tradition, but gradually fits the new realistic
features into the framework of the old forms. For centuries the
tasks of the sculptor remain the same; he has to chisel tombstones
of stone, to carve altars in wood, and to cast fonts in metal. The
application of metal to monumental works is a comparatively late
introduction; hence in this sphere the deviation from the mediaeval
xxii SOUTH GERMAN ART.
style is most striking, while in works of stone and wood sug-
gestions of Grothic art may be traced even in the 16th century. Sculp-
tures in stone and wood continue to be decidedly the most popular
branches of art. Wood-carving was diligently practised from the
earliest times in such Alpine districts as Ammergau, while the wood-
carvers of the great towns of Southern Germany also found ample
employment in the preparation of large altars and choir -stalls.
The sculptures on the altars were usually painted. This poly-
chrome decoration was rendered necessary, partly by the nature of
the material, which possessed no rich colouring of its own, and
partly by the immediate neighbourhood of the pictures, which were
generally added as wings to the carved centre of the altar. Altars
of this kind may be studied either in museums (Bavarian National
Museum at Munich, Germanic Museum at Nuremberg), or in their
original positions at Rothenburg, Blauhenren, Grnund, St. Wolf-
gang, and many other places. A few of their artists are still known
by name. The two most important are Jot^g Syrlin, first heard of
in 1458, the creator of the choir -stalls in Ulm Minster, and Veit
Stoss (ca. 1450-1533), who is known to us by his works in Nurem-
berg, produced almost wholly towards the close of a long life. Ulm,
Nuremherg, and Augsburg are the chief centres of South German
art in the 15th and 16th centuries. But this by no means implies
that the other free towns of the empire neglected the pursuit of art.
On the contrary, local research is constantly adding new names to
the artistic roll of honour. It is, however, only in the three towns
named that we find anything like schools of art or an artistic activity
of more than local interest. The chief painter at Ulm was Bartholo-
mdus Zeithlom, the son-in-law of the venerable Hans Schuhlein or
Schiilin. He flourished in 1484-1517, and his works, which may be
seen in the galleries of Stuttgart and Augsburg and in the Pinakothek
of Munich, are distinguished by the clearness and vigour of their
colouring, though the drawing is hard and the types of his heads
unpleasing and deficient in variety. Of his pictures, as of early-
German paintings in general, it may be asserted that the colouring
is their strongest point, even though lacking in a delicate graduation
of tone. They also succeed better with individual figures and quiet
groups than with dramatic situations, the representation of which
often led to exaggerated eftects and the admixture of coarsely
realistic traits.
The Augsburg school is best represented by Haus Burgkmair
(1473-1531), a master gifted with a fine sense for landscape beauty,
and by Holbein the Elder (ca. 1473-1524). The latter especially,
now that a number of works formerly ascribed to his son have been
accredited to him, ranks among the most interesting of early-German
painters. His professional activity may be traced from the last decade
of the 15th century onwards. For a considerable time his personal
SOUTH aERMAN AJIT. xxiii
gifts do not help him to transcend the limits of the prevailing style.
Even his Madonnas and women are lacking in charm; in emotional
scenes, such as the Passion, a tendency to the coarse and common is
apparent. (This early manner of the painter is best studied at the
Augsburg gallery.) It was not till towards the end of his career —
and so far we have not material enough to trace the intermediate
development — that Holbein produced in the Altar of St. Sebastian
(Munich Pinakothek) a work that placed him far above all his contem-
poraries. He has learned to use the new graces borrowed from Italy,
he endues his women's heads with elegance and charm, he models
the nude with surprising accuracy, he exhibits a vigorous realism
restrained within due bounds. With the completion of this work in
1516 he disappears from the scene; and the only later information
that we possess about him is the news of his death, probably at Isen-
heim in Alsace. The works of his son Hans Holbein the Younger
(1497-1543) cannot be effectively studied except at Basle, to which
he migrated at an early age, and in England, where he spent the
latter part of his life. The South Grerman galleries, however, contain
a few fine examples of his talent. Thus at Darmstadt is the Ma-
donna of Burgomaster Meyer, the original of the celebrated picture
at Dresden, and at Vienna are two fine portraits of women.
The picture presented by the old, art-loving city of Nuremberg
is one that takes by storm the fancy of all. Poets and romance-
writers have celebrated the life and activity of the town in trade
and industry, science and art; the popular fancy, always ex-
treme in its love or hate, has indeed exaggerated its importance
as the beau -ideal of a mediaeval city. As a nmtter of fact its
artistic activity began at the close of the mediaeval period, and
it was in the 16th century that it reached its zenith. The Xurem-
berg artists are known far and wide. The names of Michael Wohl-
gemut, Yeit Stoss (p. xxii i, and Adam Krafl"t, and still more those of
Albrecht Diirer and Peter Vischer, are significant even to those who
know nothing more of early-German art. Wohlgemnt (1434-1519;
generally passes as the type of the respectable and conscientious
painter, who practises his art with honest simplicity. Adam Krafft,
the stone-cutter (ca. 1450-1509), whose work may be thoroughly
studied in his native city, also stands to some extent on the foot-
ing of the handicraftsman and follows the tracks of the old tradi-
tion. His religious representations, such as the Schreyer Tomb
on the outside of St. Sebald's, and the Seven Stations on the
way to the Johannis-Kirchhof (six of the originals now in the
Germanic Museum), show the regular 15th century mixture of pic-
torial and plastic elements in the composition, and the usual real-
istic hardness in the individual figures and in the drapery. A few
of the heads only (such as those of the Dead Christ and of the
Virgin in the relief of the Seventh Station) are permeated by a
xxiv SOUTH GERMAN ART.
finer, personal feeling. He shows himself at his highest degree of
freedom from the traditional limitations in the fresh and true relief
on the Stadtwage and in the three small and lifelike statuettes that
adorn the large late -Gothic 'Sakramentshauscheu" in the Lorenz-
Kirche. Krafft's works are superior to most of the productions of
the other Xuremherg sculptors and their congeners, even to those
of the diligent Tilman Riemenschneider (d. 1531) of Wiirzburg,
whose masterpiece is in Bamberg Cathedral (p. 148). Nuremberg
also possesses at least the masterpiece of Peter Vischer (ca. 1455-
1529), the celebrated bronze-founder (St. Sebald's Monument). The
architectural framework enshrining the silver coffin of the saint
still shows traces of the conflict between Gothic and Renaissance
forms. The small figures of children, Prophets, and Apostles, on
the other hand, are creations of a free play of fancy, aiming not
merely at truth to nature but also at grace and charm or at dignified
and measured seriousness. Peter Yischer was afterwards joined in
his foundry by his sons; but Nuremberg does not afi'ord adequate
examples of his later development or of the ever stronger infusion of
the Italian Renaissance in the native style. The Gansemannchen
of Pancraz Labe/iwolf (14:92-1563) is an almost solitary instance
of the continued lifelike conception of nature coupled with freshness
and naivete. A visit to Nuremberg is still less satisfactory for a full
appreciation of Altrecht Dilre?^ (14:1 1-1528), the greatest of German
painters, though the imagination cannot but be pleasantly stimulated
by lingering on the spot where he lived and worked. In order to form
an adequate judgment of this many-sided master, remarkable alike
for the profundity and the richness of his artistic conceptions, we
must study not only his wood-cuts and engravings, but also his draw-
ings. The best collection of these last is found in the Albertina at
Vienna, a visit to which will intensely interest the serious student
of art. The drawings also afi'ord the only means of uninterruptedly
tracing Diirer's artistic evolution from his early boyish efforts to
the products of his closing years. This cannot be said of his paint-
ings, which are distributed very unequally among the different periods
of his life. It is really only twice in his career that his activity in
painting is so great as to form the main ground of our judgment
of him; the first of these periods was during and immediately after
his second visit to Venice (1505-7), the second was at the end of his
life, after his journey to the Netherlands (1521-2). From the Vene-
tians he borrowed certain details of composition and learned the
secret of his clear, warm, vigorous, and harmonious colouring; in
the evening of his days he reached a complete plastic command
of the pithy power of characterization visible in all his figures.
The South German galleries still contain the most important pro-
ducts of his art. Of his first period Munich possesses the Paum-
gartner Altar, the portrait of himself painted at Venice in 1506
SOUTH GERMAN ART. xxv
and unfortunately retouched, and finally his masterpiece, the double
panels known as the Four Temperaments (p. 273), with the heads of
SS. Peter and John, SS.PaulandMark. In this work he has, in allusion
to the religious disorders of his environment, created four permanent
types of Christian character, the corner-stones of the Reform move-
ment; he has wiven pure and lifelike artistic form to the testing and
the defence of truth. Of the numerous Diirer treasures once pre-
served in Nuremberg but few remain. The portrait of Hieronymus
Holzschuher (1526), the most perfect portrait w^e possess from
Dlirer's hand, formerly in the Germanic Museum, is now at Berlin.
The South German galleries afford abundant opportunity for a
study of the painters who were grouped round Diirer and to some
extent influenced by him, such as Hans von Kulmhach (ca. 1476-
1522), Hans ScMiifelein (ca. 1480-1540), Georg Pencz (ca. 1500-
50), Hans Sebald Beham (1500-50., Barthel Beham (1502-40),
Alb.Alfdorferica. 1480-1538), ar\dHans Baldung Grien (d. 1545).
Numerous specimens of these masters will be found in thePinakothek
and the Germanic Museum at Munich, and in the galleries of Donau-
eschingen and Sigmaringen. Those who have not the leisure or the
inclination to study their religious and historical pictures should
at least spare a glance for their efforts in portraiture. In this field
these masters show to the best advantage their fresh and vigorous
observation of nature, unhampered by the prevalent custom of
obscuring the main subject by a multiplicity of detail, or by the
attempt to create ideal forms without the requisite powers.
A revolution in artistic tendencies is already obvious among
the masters last named. The traditional style no longer sufficed.
The knowledge of Italian art, fostered by the custom of paying
visits to Italy w^hich grew up among northern artists towards the end
of the 15th century, broke through the old barriers and encouraged
the imitation of the new models. This Italian influence, however,
did not bring any very desirable fruit to maturity. The German
masters, like those of the Netherlands, remained essentially
Northerners; they studied Italian art but could not assimilate the
Italian nature. Though the Italian painters did homage to the ideal
in their works, they never disguised their nationality. Even their
most idealized creations reveal a direct life which smacks of the soil
and the atmosphere. Foreigners could not inspire their paintings
with this national trait, and thus, in spite of their personal talents,
never advanced beyond the outworks of the Italian style. The race
of artists that flourished in the second half of the 16th century
stamped the Italian manner still more strongly on their works, aided
and abetted in this by the gradual change in the patronage of art.
While the earlier form of art was most at home in middle -class
circles, various princely patrons of art, such as the Emperor Ru-
dolph II. and the Dukes of Bavaria, now step into the foreground.
xxvi SOUTH GERMAX ART.
"VYood-cuts still remained popular and were widely circulated in the
homes of the people; engravings were chiefly sought as patterns for
the metal-worker and other artistic craftsmen; but painting now
solicited the favour of the art-loving courts. In these Italian art, like
Italian culture generally, was strongly in the ascendant. Italian
artists and Italian works of art began to migrate across the Alps ; and
thus the native artists, already attracted by the forms of the Renais-
sance, received a new inducement to perfect themselves in the schools
of Rome, Florence, and Venice. It would be unjust to eliminate en-
tirely from the lists of northern artists the names of the Dutch and
G-erman masters who followed this course (such as Bartholomdus
Spranger, Christoph Schiuarz, Hans von Aachen, and Johann
Rottenhammer)\ and some of them have produced works of con-
siderable value, especially as regards technical qualities. But it
remains true that, ho"wever great may be our desire to make 'histori-
cal rescues' by emphasizing their merits, it certainly has not yet
gone far enough to induce us to profess unqualified pleasure in the
works of these mannerists. Those who take an interest in the siib-
ject will find innumerable examples of their art in Vienna and in
other Austrian galleries.
The corresponding movement in architecture and the decorative
arts has, on the other hand, become of late astonishingly popular.
Even the layman now shows lively interest in the once unregarded
and despised buildings of the G-ermax Renaissance, and considers
an inspection of them a worthy object for a tour. The name Ger-
man Renaissance of itself indicates the double root from which
the style springs. The German Renaissance could not have come
into being without a knowledge of the architecture which became
predominant in Italy through the revived interest in the antique
in the 15th century. It borrowed from it the columnar orders,
the pilasters, the varieties of cornice, innumerable ornamental
motives, and many other details. It seldom, however, sank to a
slavish imitation of its Italian models, but remained faithful in
many points to its native traditions and tried to combine these
harmoniously with the new forms. It is true that the Gothic tra-
cery, mullions, mouldings, and geometrical patterns had to be given
up, and that the pointed arch lost its importance. In the construc-
tive parts, however, in the articulation and ground-plan old usages
still generally held their ground. The genesis of the German Re-
naissance is also the best explanation of it. Even in the early years
of the 16th century the German painters and engravers had begun
to use the graceful schemes of foliage and branches that were
characteristic of the Renaissance ornamentation of Italy; and a
knowledge of the difi"erent orders of architecture, the rules of which
were sought in Vitruvius, also quickly penetrated to the N. side of
the Alps. The masters of decorative sculpture were the next to
SOUTH aERMAN ART. xxvii
adapt themselves to the new Italian style, which we meet on tomb-
stones, screens, fountains, and works in wood and metal. Its latest
conquest was in the sphere of architecture, where it at first appears
only in the ornamental parts such as doors, windows, and the arti-
culation of wall-surfaces. If the builder wished the work to be
erected in a pure Italian style, he had to send for, an Italian archi-
tect; and many Italians crossed the Alps and made plans, which
they left to be executed by native workmen. The traces of this
intercourse are distinctly recognizable in the German buildings.
It was in the sphere of the handicraftsman that the new move-
ment and the artistic advance found their greatest strength; no
wonder that the forms here created attained a universal applica-
tion and were adopted also by architecture and the monumental
arts. As a matter of fact we meet numerous suggestions of metal-
work in architectural ornamentation. The lower parts of the shafts
of columns appear as if adorned with mountings of metal; in other
cases hammered ironwork is imitated or the stone is treated as if
it were a soft and elastic material. The lofty gable is a distinct
reminiscence of the medieval house, while the Italian Renaissance
is practically destitute of roof-structures; the richly decorated bal-
cony or oriel is also a northern peculiarity. The manner in which
the Grerman Renaissance came into existence explains the want of
a uniform type or a normal style. It assumes a different character
in each district. The Renaissance in Northern G-ermany, so brilliantly
developed in timber and brick architecture, differs widely from the
Renaissance in Southern Germany, where the greater proximity of
Italy exercised a stronger influence. This is especially marked in
such imposing ecclesiastical edifices as the Michaels -Hofkirche in
Munich (p. 246). These buildings, erected under the influence of
the order of the Jesuits, bear the stamp impressed by the Jesuits
on their buildings in all countries. But the secular buildings also
show the influence of the neighbourhood of Italy and of the Italian
culture predominant in courts and in aristocratic circles generally.
Some buildings are German only through the soil on which they
stand, while in style they belong exclusively to the Italian Renais-
sance; of this number are the Belvedere of Emperor Ferdinand I.
at Prague and the Fugger Bath Rooms at Augshnrcj (p. 199).
The preference for the Italian style is revealed more strongly
in the castles of the noblesse than in the private buildings of the
towns, the free towns of the empire clinging especially to the older
traditions. Southern Germany contains a stately series of chateaux,
which, in giving up the character of castles and assuming that of
palaces, illustrate in the most signal manner the difference between
the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. At the head of these stands
the Otto-Heinrichs'Bau at Heidelberg (see Baedeker's Rhine), the
gem of German castle -architecture, which is remarkable for its
xxviii SOUTH GERMAN ART.
harmonious proportions and articulation and still more for its
rich and well thought-out plastic decoration. When the Fried richs-
Bau was taken in hand forty -five years later (1601), the native
workmen had already become accustomed to the new style. The
ornamentation of the younger building shows clear traces of its
Grerman origin. Few of the other princely chateaux can compare
with that of Heidelberg. Schloss Tubingen (p. 56) still suggests
the old style of castle-building, while the fresh and somewhat coarse
strength of the Renaissance is most strikingly illustrated in the
portals. In the Old Palace of Stuttgart (p. 6) the most attractive
part is the inner court, with its arcades; but our fancy must lend
the colours for a picture of the fitting-up of the neglected state-rooms.
The constantly increasing power of the Bavarian dukes is mirrored
in the magnificence of their Palace at Munich (p. 254).
It was not always possible to proceed according to a uniform
plan. The castle of Landshut (p. 231), for instance, is wholly
irregular in plan and shows clear traces of the different periods
in which it was built. The decoration of the rooms is mainly
entrusted to the painter, a fact that alone shows the growth of
Italian influence. The same tendency is seen more clearly in the
new palace at Landshut (p. 230), the court of which is articulated
and decorated exactly in the taste of Italian palaces. A building
of great interest is the old palace at Munich, erected by Elector
Maximilian in 1598-1616, planned on an extensive scale, and elabor-
ately adorned with plastic and pictorial ornamentation (the latter
now sadly faded). The group of buildings at Prague is perhaps
the most interesting of the kind on Austrian soil. The new style
established itself in the Bohemian capital at an astonishingly early
date and maintained itself in comparative purity down to the 17th
century. The large loggia on the garden-side of the Wallenstein
Palace is the final link of a chain of building activity extending
across the whole of Bohemia. In order to give an adequate idea of
the German Renaissance, it would be necessary to attempt a full
enumeration of the individual buildings, for not only every district,
but often each monument in each district, shows peculiarities, the
study of which reveals the wealth of Renaissance art.
The lover of the Renaissance is advised not to confine his wander-
ings to the great cities and the chief lines of communication. The
keen eye will discover interesting buildings in almost every parish.
Thus the towns and villages of Tyrol contain many examples of the
Renaissance. A similar remark may be made about many other
buildings, not merely with regard to chateaux and manor-houses but
also, and in a still higher degree, with regard to the residences of
the ordinary citizen. In most cases, indeed, it will be the bare
architecture alone that the connoisseur will have a chance to enjoy;
SOUTH GERMAN ART. xxix
Siince house and contribute not a little to its comprehension, have
invariably disappeared — perhaps to satisfy the recent craving of
museums and collectors. The contents of the older industrial mu-
seums were mainly drawn from the treasures of the princely col-
lections that came into vogue in the 16th century. The predominant
objects were works of the goldsmith and furniture of costly woods,
inlaid with ivory and metal. The equipment of the private house
of the Renaissance period was, naturally, much more simple. The
panelling of the walls found a counterpart in the carved cabinets
and coffers; the metal utensils were often made of brass, the general
appearance of which harmonized admirably with the wooden fittings ;
the coarse nature of the pottery was disguised by colour, plastic
ornamentation, and variety of form. Where the original furnishing
is still in place, the eye will easily recognize the perfect harmony
subsisting between the interior fittings and the architectural plan,
and will see how the house has, as it were, grown from within out-
wards. A mere sight of the facades is not enough, especially when
the Renaissance houses occur sporadically among modern edifices.
A better idea is gained from rows of houses, streets, or squares
not yet invaded by the modern builder. Nuremberg formerly stood
unquestionably at the head of all German Renaissance towns. A
number of patrician houses of the 16th and the beginning of the
17th century can, it is true, still be cited; but the general appear-
ance of the town has begun to alter. On the other hand Rothen-
burg ob der Tauher (p. 217), with its Rathaus, towers, fountains,
and well-preserved houses, still presents an almost unimpaired pic-
ture of a German town of the Renaissance period. Here, as in most
of the free towns of the empire, the details of construction and
ornamentation borrowed from the native traditions or directly due
to the national spirit are seen in great force, while the Italian in-
fluence is much slighter than in the case of palaces. It is not till
the 17th century that the Italian style becomes predominant in
municipal architecture, as in the fagade of the Nuremberg Rathaus
and the splendid interior (Goldner Saal) of the Augsburg Rathaus.
Owing, however, to its intercourse with Venice, the Italian style
found comparatively ready acceptance at Augsburg and had, for in-
stance, familiarized the Augsburgers with the fashion of painted
fagades.
The period of the Thirty Years' War sadly interrupted the
evolution of German art and broke off many promising shoots from
the tree of German culture. Some departments of art did not re-
cover for two centuries; the once so popular work of the wood-
carver was forgotten; painting was but scantily cultivated and
sank to a greater depeiidence on foreign models than ever before.
From this calamitous period dates the predominance of the for-
eigner in all matters of taste. The greatest activity took place in
XXX SOtJTH GEEKAK ART.
Southern Germany and Austria, and here are found many and varied
examples of the once despised Baroque Styxe. In Italy a decided
revolution in architecture had taken place towards the close of the
16th century. AVhile the individual Renaissance forms were re-
tained, a new spirit was apparent in their embodiment and com-
bination. The old and genuine Renaissance style seemed too cold
and too simple, and not sufficiently effective. The architectural
members were made coarser and more massive , the straight line
was replaced by curves, the help of light and shade was appealed
to. The fa^'ade assumes a curved form; columns are moved towards
the front and draw the entire entablature with them; gables and
cornices are made to project strongly; the profiles are more ac-
centuated; ornamentation is used to an exaggerated extent, almost
obscuring the constructive elements. This baroque style, which is
at bottom closely akin to the contemporary mannerism and the in-
creased realism in painting and sculpture, soon found acceptance
in Southern Germany. We see it in the numerous churches and con-
vents that were rebuilt with increased magnificence after the close
of the Thirty Years' War; and we likewise see it in all its pomp,
but also with all its weaknesses, in the numerous palaces built be-
tween 1680 and 1740. The Palace of Versailles is imitated in a
few cases only (Schleissheim , Mannheim); the predominant style
is the Italian baroque, especially as it had been developed by Bor-
romini. Excellent examples of the baroque style are found mWilrz-
hurg (Palace, by J. B. Neumann), Munich, and especially at Vienna
and Prague, where the traveller may go through a complete course
in baroque architecture. Among the finest creations of this style
are the interior decorations of the Amalienhyrg near Munich, of the
Schloss at Ansbach, and of the palace at Wlirzburg.
Architecture became practically paralyzed about the middle of
the 18th century in consequence of the wars between Prussia and
Austria. On the other hand an attempt was made, without much
success, to revive the art of painting by the foundation of acad-
emies at Vienna and Stuttgart (Karls-Schule). At the beginning of
the 19th century the young artists of Germany had still to make
the pilgrimage to Rome in order to train their eye and taste and
to enkindle their imagination before the works of classical and old
Italian art. More recent events must be passed over with a word.
In the reign of King Louis I. Munich won a European reputation
as a school of art; and after a period of stagnation about the middle
of last century it has again reached a position of great importance,
Vienna has been specially distinguished for its successes in archi-
tecture and sculpture, while Stuttgart and Darmstadt enjoy a well-
merited renown in the domain of industrial art.

Stuttgart (820 ft. at the railway station), the capital of Wur-
temberg and head-quarters of the 13th army-corps, with 300,000
inhab. (91,600 in 1871), mainly Protestants, and including a gar-
rison of 4700 men, is beautifully situated in a wide valley, with
its suburbs extending bvyund the Xeckar, surrounded by vine-clad
and wooded hills. Its industries (chemicals, furniture, cardboard,
pianos, and beer) arc chietiy carried on in the suburbs of Cannstatt
ip. 16) and Untertiirkheim (p. 41). Its book-trade is important also.
The name of Stuttgart first occurs in a document of 1229; from 1265
it was the favourite residence of the Counts of Wurtembcrg; and it
became the capital of the country in 1482 under Count Eherhard im
Bart (1159-96), wlio was created Diike of Wurtemberg in 1495. Its deve-
lopment was rapid under Duke Christopher (1550-68), who introduced the
Reformation and founded the civil code of tiie country, but it suffered
severely from tlie Thirty Years' War, the invasions of Louis XIV., and
tlic removal of the royiil residence to Ludwigsburg (p. 21). Its present
importance dates only from the 19th century.
From theHaupt-Bahnhof we proceed to the left along the Schloss-
Str. to the *Schloss-Platz (PL E, F, 3, 4: baud daily. 12-1), which
is adorned with flower-beds and enclosed by stately buildings. On
the X.W. side is the chief station of the tramways (p. 3j. In the
centre of the square rises a Jvhilee Column, 100 ft. high, erected
ill 1841 in honour of the twenty -five years' reign of William I.,
and crowned with a l)r()nze figure of Concord, 13 ft. high. To the
N.W. of the column stands the monument of Dake Christopher
(see above), by Paul Miiller (1889). At the S.W. corner of the
square is a marble bust of Daanecher (1758-1841 ; PI. D), the sculp-
tor, by Curfess (1888).
On the W. side of the Schloss-Platz stands the Ko/tigs-Bau (PL
E, 3), erected by Leins in a classical style in 1857-60 (cafe, see p. 2).
Adjoining it on the S. is the Kronprinze a- Palais (1846-9). — On
the N. side of the square is the Kd)ii[/in-Olga-Bau, erected in 1893-5
(cafe -restaurant, see p. 2). Adjacent is the Kunst- Gebaude
(Tl. F, 3; adni., see p. 4), erected by Th. Fischer in 1913 on the site
of the old Court Theatre, which was burned down in 1902. It con-
tains an exhibition and festival hall, the club-rooms of the IStutt-
garter Kiinstlerbund , and a restaurant; above the twelve -sided
dome is a gilded stag by L. Habich. Behind are the Boyal Stables
(Konigl. Marstall; PL F, 3i and the Theater-Platz ip. 11).
The "Royal Palace Iiesidenz-Schloss: PL F, 3, 4; comp.
p. 7), on the E. side of the square, built in the baroque style in
1746-1807 by Retti, I)e la Guepiere, and Thouret, is tiie most im-
portant secular building erected in Wurtemberg during the 18th
century. It consists of a central block and two wings grouped round
a court of honour; the central block, used only for court functions,
is surmounted by a gilded crown. The hall, the staircase, and the
marble, blue, white, and dining rooms are best Avorth seeing (adm.,
sec p. 4; entrance in the SAV. wing; length of visit 1 hr.).

The Old Palace (Al/es ^Schloss : PI. E, F, 4), erected by
A. Tretscli under Duke Cliristoplier in 1553-78, forms au irreguljir
quadrangle, with round towers at three corners. The *Courtyard
(p. xxviiii, surrounded on three sides by triple arcades, contains
a bronze equestrian statue of Count Eberhard im Bart (p. 5), by
Hofer (1859). The Porcelain and Silrer Room, on the E. side of
the court, contains china from Ludwigsburg, Meissen, and Sevres
(presented by Xapoleon I.). In the S.W. corner of the court is the
entrance to the Chapel (adm. Sim., Tues., and Fri. 11-12; 25 pf.),
the vault of Avhich contains royal sarcophagi.
To the E. of the Old Palace is the monument of Emperor

From the Schloss-Platz we proceed S.W. along the Koxig-
Steasse (PL E, 4), the chief business-street. In the Stift-Str., the
first turning on the left, is the old Fapp) House (So. 7), with a
memorial tablet to Goethe and Schiller. Opposite is the Municipal
Savings Banl- (1912 .
The Protestant ^Stifts-Kirche (P1.E,4), with its two towers,
founded in the 12th cent., was rebuilt in the late-Gothic style in
1436-95. The early-Gothic choir dates from 1327-47. Reliefs on

the old rood-screen (late 15th cent.). Adjacent, by the stairs to the left
gallery, is an old votive relief in stone, representing Christ (above)
and the Wise and Foolish Virgins (below). By the stairs to the right
gallery is the fine tomb of Dr. Yergenhans (d. 1513). Gothic pulpit in

by bath-houses. In the centre are mineral springs, including the
Sprudel iLeuze's Mineral Baths, P. 4\o-7ey^; concert, see p. 4).
The Villa bei Berg (880 ft.; adm., see p. 4), on the hill to
the S., built by Leins in the Renaissance style in 1846-53, and sur-
rounded with line gardens and hot-houses, now belongs to the city
of Stuttgart. In the interior are pictures and sculptures (Bust of a
boy, by Luca della Robbia). In the garden are statues of the four
seasons, by Kopf, and bronze busts of Nicholas L, Tsar of Russia,
and his consort, by Ranch.
On the hill to the N. of Berg, in a large park, is the royal country-
lumse of Rosenstein (805 ft.; adm,, see p. 4), built by Salucci in
an archaistic French style in 1824-9. The approach to it begins

well restored. The upper story of the lay-hrothers' refectory and
the kitchen, between tlie two refectories, are modern. After 1558
the abbey was occupied by a Protestant school founded l»y Duke
Christopher, of which Kepler p. 206) was a pupil in 1586-9, and
it is now a Protestant theological seminary. The verger lives in-

20 Houte 2. MAULBRONN. From Heidelberg
At the W. end of the abbey-church is the -Paradies (ca. 1'220),
a vestibule 70 ft. long and 25 ft. wide, with late-Romanesque arcade-
windows and cross-vaulting. — The '*Abbey Church, consecrated
in 1178, is a Romanesque basilica with aisles. The late-Gothic
chapels on the S. side were added in 1424. A Romanesque screen
with two doors separates the choir of the monks (Herrenchor; from
that of the lay- brothers (Laienchor), to the W. ; in the latter, in
front of the screen, is an altar with a crucifix 13 ft. high (1473).
The monks" choir contains ninety-two stalls i2nd half of 1.3th cent.)
and, on tlie steps, eight Biblical reliefs; by the X. wall of the
i-ectaugular choir proper is the richly carved throne of the aijbot.
Each of the transepts contains three rectangular chapels.
On the X. side of the church are the * Cloisters ^Kreuzgaug'i,
each walk of w^hich is 125 ft. long (on the inside) and 15 ft. broad.
The S. walk, in the transitional style (ca. 1225), is the richest; the
others, in the Gothic style (14th cent.), are simpler. In front of the
X. walk is a tasteful well-house. Beyond it is the Siunmer or j\Ionks'
Refectory ('Rebeutal'), with seven central columns (ca. 1225). At the
X.W. corner is the Winter or Lay Befectory (ca. 1210), divided
into two parts by seven double columns. Other apartments adjoin
the E. side of the cloisters. Between the Monies' Day Quarters
' Bruderhalle) and the Chapter House ( Kapitel-Saal) is the entrance
to the Parlatorium (late 15th cent.) and the Guest House (early
16th cent.). — In the garden is the modern Esels-Brunnen, re-
ferring to the story of the foundation of the convent. Hence we
obtain the best view of the Faust -Turm, near the E. side of the
church, originally part of the fortifications.
About 3 M. to the X.W. (omu. tluee times daily in 3/^ hr.) lies Knitt-
Ungeu (Hot. Kanne), the traditional birthplace of" Dr. Faust.

Ludwigsburg (970 ft.), a town with 25,000 inhab. (including a
garrison of 5300 men) and numerous factories, is much visited on
account of its beautiful surroundings. It was founded at the begin-
ning of the 18th cent, by Duke Eberhard Louis (d. 1733) as a rival
of Stuttgart, and was extended by Duke Charles Eugene (d. 1793) and
Kiug Frederick (d. I8I61. The streets arc broad and regular.
In the Wilhelms-Platz (PI. A, 2) is a statue of Schiller, who
lived at Ludwigsburg in 1768-73 and 1793-4. by Hofer (1882). — In
the charming market-place is the Stadt-Kirche (PL B, 2), a baroque
church built by Eetti in 1718-26; opposite is the Catholic Drei-

Protestant Garnison-Kirche (PI. B, 3\ by Thiersch (1903).
The Royal Palace (PI. B, 1; custodian in the annexe on the E.
side), 3 4 M. to the N,E. of the station, a handsome baroque building
containing 452 rooms, was erected by Nette, Frisoni. and others
under Duke Eberhard Louis in 1704-33. The finest interior de-
coration is in the hunting-pavilion at the N.W, corner. The most
interesting objects are the furniture in the apartments of Queen
Mathilde, the French ceiling -paintings of the 18th cent, (good

ill which the legendary 'Kathcheu of Heilbroun' was born.
The '-^Kilians-Kirche (PI. 0, 4; open daily, except Sat.. 11-1;
verger, Siilmer-Str. 3) dates from the 13th cent., the late-Gothic choir
and aisles from 1426-80; the aisles of the nave also were rebuilt
after 1450 in the late-Gothic st}1e, while the tower (205 ft. high),
crowned with a statue of a 'Landsknccht' (media-val soldier i. was built
in a singular early-Renaissance style by H. Schweincr in 1513-29.
The church was restored in 1886-95 by Beyer. The choir contains
an altar in carved wood (1498t. painted to resemble stone, and a fine
'Sakramentshauschen' p. 170; ca. 1500). — To the S. of the church
is the Kirch-Brunnen. -A reproduction of the original of 1541.
In the Deutschhof-Str., close by, is the Deaisches Haas, origin-
ally an imperial residence, later a lodge of the Teutonic Order, and
now law-courts fLand-Gcricht ; PI. B, 4). The oldest part is the lowest
story, in the Romanesque style, of the tower of the adjacent Catholic
church, in the picturesque court on the N. side. The facade dates
from 1712. At the X. end of the street, to the left, in the old
slaughter-house of 1600, is the Historical Museum (PI. B, 4; open

contrary to fact, represents Gotz as having died (whereas he was
only imprisoned here for one night in 1519; comp. above and p. 31).
To the E. of the tower we ascend the Rosenberg-Str. to the Allee,
a broad avenue with gardens on the site of the old fortifications.
In it is the Harm onie (PI. C, 4;1877), a club-house with the ex-

* Imperial Palace of the Holienstaufens, built ca. 1200. Tlie remains
include (besides the Roter and Blauer Turm) part of the ramparts,
the chapel (now a stable, but probably to be restored), the N. wall
of the 'Saalbau' or residence, with its fine dwarf arcades of coupled
columns, and the 'Steinhaus' with its stepped gable. Farther W.
is the Blauer Turm, 180 ft. high. Close by, straight on, lies the
market-place, with the Protestant church and the Mathilden-Bad
(p. 29; to the right, some Avay from the street).
The Protestant Parish Church, with nave and aisles of equal
height and without transepts, has two towers, an early- Gothic
choir, and a late-Gothic nave (end of 15th cent.). The interior
(verger, Salz-Gasse 83) contains, by the E. wall of the N. aisle, the
late-Gothic altar of St. Quirinus (ca. 1500); to the left of the early-
Eenaissance high -altar (1519) is a 'Sakramentshauschen' (p. 170)
executed by Meister Hans in 1451. — Opposite the S.W. angle of
the church is a Calvary of about 1500.
From the market-place we follow the Salz-Gasse "\V., passing
the Adler-Brunnen (1576), and take the Schul-Str. to the left to

a Paris architect in 1269-80 on the foundations of a twelve-sided
early-Romanesque structure and restored in 1899-1903. It was the
first Gothic church in the Xeckar district. The S. transept is espe-^
cially admirable. In the interior (verger opposite the N.E. corner),
the ground-plan of which is remarkably irregular, the early-Grothic
choir-stalls (1330) should be noticed; the terracotta Pieta in a niche
on the S. side of the choir -screen dates from about 1440, but has
been repainted. The Gothic cloisters on the N. side of the church
date from the early 14th century.

three towers, was rebuilt in the baroque style in 1706-15 on the foundations
of a Eomanesque basilica. It possesses an embossed antependium in
gilded copper, of about lloO, and a richly carved circular *Chandelier
of the same period, 15 ft. in diameter, representing the twelve gates of
Jerusalem the Golden (lowered for inspection for 4:Ji). In the sacristy are

Esslingen (760 ft.), an industrial town of 32,400 inhab., prettily
.situated on the Neckar and overlooked by a ruined castle, was a
free imperial city down to 1802 and is still partly surrounded
by walls, which were built by Emperor Frederick II. in 1216.
Sparkling wine is largely manufactured here. The engineering works
founded here by Kessler in 1846 are the largest in Wurtemberg.
From the station (PI. B, 2) we turn to the right. The ISTeckar-
Str., straight on, passes near the stone Pliensau- Brucke, built in
1286, with a tower -gateway on the town side. We follo-v?- the
Bahuhof-Str. to the left, passing the Schehtor-Turm (PI. 9), to

St. Dionysius -Kirche or Stadt-Kirche (PL 6; verger, Markt-
Platz 28),' a flat -roofed basilica in the transitional style with in-
teresting capitals, founded in the 11th cent, and altered in the
14th and 15th. The lectern and 'Sakrameutshauschen' (p. 170) are
by L. Lechler (1486) ; the choir contains also stained glass of the
14th-15th cent, and stalls of 1518. — The New Bathaus (PI. 8),
built in 1746, was once the palace of Count Alexander of Wurtem-
berg, the poet (1801-44). Opposite, to the S., is the Old Rathaus
(PL 7), erected in 1430 and now a school. It has an ingenious
clock of 1589 and a bell-turret (on the K side); on the first floor is a
room with Gothic wood-carvings. — The Catholic St. Paids-Kirche
(PL 5), an early-Gothic edifice of 1233-68, originally belonged to a
Dominican monastery.
The Gothic '^Frauen -Kirche (PL 2; C, 1) was erected in 1324-
1420 and restored in 1884-7 by Egle (sacristan, Untere Beutau-
Str. 9; 20 pf.). Admirable reliefs on the three portals, especially

Ulm (1575 ft.), formerly a imperial free city, is a fortified town
with 58,000 inhab., incl. a garrison of 7500 men. Its commerce and
industries are important also. It lies on the left bank of the Danube,
which is here joined by the Blau and the Iller and is navigable for
small vessels. The Danube is the boundary between "V\"urtemberg
and Bavaria, to which Neu- Ulm (p. 49) on the opposite bank belongs.
The towns are connected by two bridges, and a railway-bridge crosses
the river farther up.
Ulm, first mentioned in 854 as the seat of a Carlovingian palace,
was later the capital of the Duciiy of Swabia. It supported the Hoheii-
staufeu during their struggles with the Dukes of Bavaria and was rewarded
with important privileges. Ulm was at its zenith during the 14th and
15th cent., after the guilds had won the upper hand in their quarrels with
the nobles. lu 1530 it adopted the Reformation. Its independence lasted
down to 1803. The cathedral, Rathaus, 'Neuer Ban', and many of the other
public buildings were erected in the 14th-16th cent., and numerous private
mansions, mostly frame-houses, date from the 16'th-17th centuries. The
erection of the cathedral fostered the development of sculpture and paint-
ing, and in the 15th-16th cent. Ulm was the centre of the Swabian school,

The chief sculptors of Ulin were Jorg Syrlin the Elder (il. 1J=98) and
Jorg Syrlin the Younger (1455-1521); the chief painters Hans Multscher
(ca. 1427-67), Hans Schulin (1440-1502), his son-in-law Barth. Zeitblom
(1455-1517; comp. p. xxii). and Martin Schaffner (d. after 1539). — The
modern fortifications were begun in 1842; down to 1866 Ulm was a fortress
of the German Confederation.
From the station (PI. A, 2) we follow the Bahnhof-Str. and
Hirsch-Str. (PL B, 2) to the (8 min.) Miinster-Phitz. In the Bahnhof-
Str., on the right, is the old lodge of the Teutonic Order (1712-18i,
now military offices. At the beginning of the Hirsch-Str., to the
right, is the Steinerne Briicke, affording a picturesque view of the
old houses on the Blau.
The *Munster (PI. C, 2; Protestant), founded in 1377, built
at intervals down to the beginning of the 16th cent., and restored and
completed in 1844-90, is the largest Gothic church in Germany next
to Cologne Cathedral (comp. p. xx). The massive *Toiver in the centre
of the W. facade, with the magnificent triple porch, was begun by
Ulrich Ensinger (1392-9), the third of the cathedral arhitects, erected
as far as the top of the square portion (230 ft.) by the end of the
loth cent., and completed in 1880-90 by Aug. Beyer by the a^ddition
of the octagon and pyramid from a design left by Matthiius Bobliuger
(1478-94; comp. p. 48), the eighth of the original architects. Being
528 ft. in height, it is the loftiest church -tower in the world
(Cologne Cathedral 515 ft.; Eiffel Tower, in iron, 985 ft.; Wool-
worth Building at Xew York 750 ft.; Washington Obelisk 555 ft.).
The sculptures in the porch should be inspected. The nineteen
large figures represent Mary, the Holy Women, and the Apostles;
ill the tympanum of the main portal are reliefs of the Creation
and the Fall. The cathedral is built of brick for the most part, but
the tower is of stone. Each side of the building has two side-portals,
likewise adorned with tympanum -reliefs: on the S.W. portal, the
Magi and the Life of Mary; 8.E. the Last Judgment; N.W. the
Nativity; X.E. the Passion. — On the roof above is the emblem of
the city, a sparrow with a straw in its beak (p. 48).
Tickets of admission are obtained in the versrer's office, to the right
of the main portal: for the nave 20 pf. ; for the choir, chapels, and
sacristy (with ffuide and incl. a printed description) 1-4 pers. 1 ^/6, each
pcrs. more 25 pf. Organ recital on Sun. 11-11.15 and week-days in summer
11.30-12; adm. free from 11 onwards. Tlie tower may be ascended May-
Sept. 7-6; in Mandi, April, Oct., and Xov. 8-5; Dec. -Feb. 9-3. Adm. as
far as the square portion (230 ft. ; 382 steps ; sufficiently good view)
.50 pf. ; to the platform of the octagon (335 ft. ; 168 steps more) and the
circular gallery (470 ft. ; 204 steps more) 1 JC, incl. adm. to the nave.
The IxTERioR originally consisted of a nave with two aisles,
all of equal breadth, but in 1502-7 the latter were divided by
.slender round pillars and covered with star-vaulting, so as to form
four aisles. There arc no transepts. The building is 135 yds. long
and 52 yds. wide; the nave is 140 ft., the aisles 65 and 69 ft. in
height; total area 6100 sq. yds. (Cologne Cathedral 7375 sq. yds.).
48 Route S. ULM. From Stuttyart
To the right in the S. aisle, as we enter, is the original of the
sparrow (p. 47). On the walls, here and in other parts of the church,
are coats-of-arms and epitaphs of Swabian families. — We turn imme-
diately to the left into the Vestibule beneath the tower, whence the
best idea of the whole interior is obtained. The large Organ, built in
1856, has 6616 pipes (recitals, see p. 47). — Xave. By the third pillar
on the left is the late-Gothic Pulpit (1469-74), the lofty canopy richly
carved by Jdrg Syrlin the Younger (1510); on the seventh pillar to the
right is an old relief commemorating the foundation of the cathedral.
The statues on the pillars are modern, but the fine consoles are old. The
stained glass in the aisles is modern also. — S. Aisle. In front of the
sacristy (see below), by the easternmost pillar, is the octagonal Hohj
Water Basin, attributed to J. Syrlin the Younger (early 16th cent.); by
the next pillar is the octagonal Font, with busts of prophets, mottoes,
and armorial bearings (1470). — Above the Choir Arch is a large fresco
of the Last Judgment (1471). The crucifix suspended from the arch is a
reproduction, the original having been removed to Wiblingen (p. 49). On
the left is a ^^ Sakramentshduschen^ (p. 170), 85 ft. high, beautifully
carved in stone. The choir-screen dates from 1737.
The Choir, which is lower than the nave, has a beautiful five-sided
termination. The "^Choir Stalls, by Joi-g Syrlin the Elder (1469-74), are
among the finest examples of wood-carving in Germany. At the W. end
are three stalls with sibyls ; on the X. side, next the Sakramentshauschen,
is a figure of Syrlin himself, and on the next folding-scat is an old
woman -said to represent his mother: the busts on the N. side in front
embody classical antiquity (Ptolemy, Terence, Cicero, etc.) ; behind, in the
upper row, are 18 half-figures of Apostles and Christian male saints
(SS. Lawrence, George, Damian, etc.), in the lower row 20 half-figures of
Prophets and heroes of the Old'Testament (David, Joshua, etf.) ; on the S.
side, below, are sibyls, with a bust of Syrlin's wife at the "W. end;
behind, in the upper row, are St. Luke, Christian female saints, and
St. Cosmas, in the lower row women of the Old Testament. The orna-
mental detail should not be overlooked. The *High Altar, a masterpiece
by Martin Schaffner (15211 , comprises painted and gilded carvings and
paintings, representing the Kindred of the Virgin and (below) the Last
Supper. Adjacent are tombs of bronze (Heinrich T^'eithart, d. 1500) and
marble. The excellent Stained Glass, by Hans Wild (1480), is at present
under restoration.
The jSTeithakt Chapel, to the left of the high- altar, contains panel
paintings by Zeitblom and his school, M. Schaffner, etc. ; in the vestibule
leading to the ^N". aisle are two modernized carved altars of the 16th cent.
(SS. Sebastian and Barbara) and a copy of Boblinger's design for the
tower (original in the archives). — On the S. of the choir is the Besserer
Chapel, with a good portrait of Eitel Besserer, by Martin Schaffner (1516),
and old stained glass. — In the Sacristy are a portable altar of the late
15th cent., with paintings copied from engravings of M. Schongauer's
'Passion' (1484).
From the tower (adm.. see p. 47) splendid *View of the city and
its environs. In clear weather (usually in spring and autumn only) the
Alps are visible; a signal is hoisted to announce the fact.
To the S.W. of the Miinster-Platz is the Neuer Bau (PI. C, 3),
erected in 1580-91 on the site of an imperial palace, and now
containing government offices; in the court is a fountain with a
figure of St. Hildegarde. — In the Weinhof (PI. C, 3) are a late-Gothic
fountain with a statue of St. Christopher and the Schworhaus, which
contains the municipal archives and library and (second fioor) a small
picture -gallery (open free on Sun. 11-12.30 and Wed. 1.30-3.30).

In the Markt-Platz rises the handsome Rathaus (V\. C, 3),
erected at the beginning of the 16th cent, in a style showing the
transition from late-Gothic to Renaissance, with paintings on the
fagade retouched in 1905. The Fischkasten, a fine fountain at the
S.E. corner, is by Syrlin the Elder (1482).
To the E. of the Rathaus, beyond a small square witii a pretty

Tiibingen (1090 ft.), a town with 19,100 inhab., finely situated
in the Neckar and Ammer valleys and on their slopes, is first men-
tioned in 1078. The university (2000 students) was founded by
Count Eberhard im Bart (p. 5) in 1477. Melanchthon (p. 18) taugli-
hcre in 1512-18, before he was summoned to Wittenberg.
From the station (PI. C, 5) wc cross the 'Worth', with its beau-
tiful avenues, to the bronze statue of Uhland (PL 3; C, 5), by Kietz
(1873). Beyond, by the Xeckar, is an avenue of plane-trees, at the
W. end of which is a memorial of Ottilie Wildermufh (d. 1877;
PI. 4, A 5).
From Uhland's statue we proceed to tlie right to the bridge over
the Neckar (1901-3), on which is a monument to Count Eberhard
(see above). Beyond the bridge (to the right, at the beginning of
the Muhl-Str.) is Uhland's House (PL 6; C, D, 4), in which the poet
lived (1836-62) and died; it now belongs to a students' corps and
is open to the public. In front is the pretty Nynqjhen - Brunneu
(1910). The house in which Uhland was born is in the Neckarhalde
(No. 24; PL 5, B 4).
The streets of the old town are picturesque. The choir of the
late -Gothic Stif ts - Kirche (15th cent.; PL C, 4; sacristan near
the S. portal, 20 pf.) contains old stained glass and eleven mon-
uments of Wurtemberg princes with recumbent stone figures, in-
cluding Duke Louis (d. 1593; 1st row), with reliefs by C. Jolin,
Duke Christopher (d. 1 568 ; 2nd row), and Count Eberhard (see above i
and Duke Ulrich (d. 1550; 4th row). The winged altar-piece is ol'
theUlm school (1520; Crucifixion, etc.). The pulpit, font, and
lectern date from the 15th century. The choir -stalls in carved
wood, below the organ, are of the school of Syrlin (early 16th cent.).
— To the S.W. of the Stifts-Kirche is the Alte Aula (PL C, 4), of
1777, with the institute of art- history. — In the Markt-Platz

S., in an old Augustinian monastery, is the Stift (PL B, 4), a Pro-
testant seminary founded in 1536 hy Duke Ulrich. "The Catholic
seminary, or Wilhelms-Stift (PI. C, 3), occupies the old Collegium
Illustre, founded in 1588 for sons of the nobility. — To the N". of
the Rathaus, 8chniidtor-Str. 4 (PL B, 3), on the second floor, is the
Maiiicipal Picture Gallery (open free on Tues., Wed., and Thurs.
10-12 and 2-4, Sun. 11-1).
In the new Jf. .quarter of the town, in the Wilhelm-Str. and to
the W. of it, lie the University ('Neue Aula'), the Hospitals, and
various other university institutes (PL B-D, 1, 2). The Botanical
Gardens (PL C,D, 2, 3) contain a monument to Holderlin (see below;
PL 1), by Andresen (188 Ij. Behind the university rises an obelisk
with a medallion-portrait of Friedrich Silcher, the song-composer
(1793-1860 ; ^1. 2, D 2 ; comp. p. 38j. The Archaeological Institute
(PL D, 2) contains collections of Egyptian antiquities and of G-reek
and Roman vases (open free on Thurs. and Sun., 11-1). Opposite
is the University Library (540,000 vols.), by P. Bonatz (1912).
The Geological and Zoological Institute (PL D, 1) accommodates
the natural history collections of the university (open free on Thurs.
and Sun., 11-1), with valuable fossils of the Triassic and Jurassic
periods (huge saurians) and meteorites. — In the Cemetei^y (PL
B, C, 1) rest Ludwig Uhland (PL 7; p. 55), Friedrich Holderlin
(d. 1843; see above), and Friedrich Silcher (see above).
From the Rathaus (p. 55) we ascend to the left by the Wiener
Gassle and the Burgsteige to Schloss Hohentiibingen (1220 ft.;

been an enclave of Wurtemberg since 1538. The Benedictine monastery
on the Hohentwiel, said to have been founded in the 9th cent., was removed
by King Henry II. in 1005 to Stein am Rhein. The fortress, which dates
from the 16th cent., was, between 1635 and 1644, five times successfully
defended by Wiederhold against Bavaria and the imperial troops. It
was destroyed by the French under Vandamme in 1800. Superb view of

Schaffhauseiv (1290 ft.), an old town of 18,000 inliab. on the
right bank of the Rhine, was a free town of the empire down to
1501, and is now the capital of the Swiss canton of that name. Its
numerous factories derive their power from large turbine-works
below the town. The Milnster (PL B, 2), an early-Romanesque
basilica of 1052-1101, has been restored in the interior. In the Rat-
haiis (PL 6) is a panelled room of 1625. The Museum (PL 5), in
the Herrenacker, contains antiquities of the stone age. Several
16th and 17th cent, houses may be noticed in the town. The massive
round tower of Munot (PL B, 2), erected in 1564-82, dominates the
town (fine view; 50 c). The Casino Promenade (PL A, 2) com-
mands a fine view of the Ehine and the Alps. The town is most
picturesque when seen from the Villa Charlottenfels, 25 min. S.W.
(tramway), or from the village of Feiierfhalen, on the left bank.
About 2 M. to the S. of Schaffhausen, and reached either by
railway or tramway, is Neuhausen (1455 ft.), the station for the

English Church in the 'Schweizerhof grounds.
The **Falls of the Rhine are one of the grandest cascades
in Europe. The river takes three leaps over a limestone ledge. Near
the left bank the falls are 60 ft., at the right bank about 50 ft.
high. If the rapids above and below be included, the total height
is 100 ft. Above the falls the river is about 175 yds. wide. In June
and July it is swollen with melting snow.
From the Baden station we take the road to the left, and after
a few paces descend by a path to the right to (5 niin.) the village of
Xeuhausen, where we join the road from the Swiss station. We
then descend the path (steps) over the Eglisau and Ziirich line;
100 yds. farther on we take the shady path to the left, which leads
past the small arms and waggon factory to the (1/4 hr.) Rhein-
fall-Briicke, which carries the "VYinterthur line across the river.
On the left bank a footpath ascends in 5 min. to Schloss Laufen
(1360 ft.), the garden of which (adm. 1 fr.) contains the best points
from which to view the falls: the Pavilion, the Kdnzeli, and
the Fischez, an iron platform projecting over the foaming abyss.
At the lower exit of the garden boats are ready to ferry us across
(50 c.) to the Schlosschen Worth (hotel), which affords the best
general view of the falls from below. A boat to the rock in the
midst of the falls, on which a landing may be made, costs 3 fr.
(l-2pers.). — From the Schlosschen Worth we may follow the path
upstream along the right bank (benches), ascending to the left just
short of the aluminium factory to the road. It is preferable, how-
ever, to continue along the river past the factory, then ascend the
easy path to the left (steps), with fine views of the falls, back to
(10 min.) the village. For fuller details, sqq Baedeker^ s Switzerland.
11. The Swabian Alb.
The Sivabian Alb or Sivahian Jura, forming the central part
of Swabia, is an undulating limestone plateau, about 130 M. long
and 10-25 M. broad, intersected by picturesque valleys. It is bound-
ed on the W. by the Black Forest, on the N". by the valley of the
Neckar, and on the S. by the Danube. Its S.E. slopes are gentle, but
its N.W. face rises abruptly from the valley, attaining at places a
height of 1300 ft. The Alb has played an important part in the
recent history of geology and palaeontology, owing to the enormous
quantity of fossils found in the Jurassic strata of which it consists.
Between the Hohenstaufen, the Ipf, and Ulm stretches the E.
part of the Alb, consisting mainly of the Hiirtsfeld and the Albnch.
r
SWABIAN ALB. ii. Route. 67
The Ceutral Alb, or 'Rauhe Alb\ lies between Gdppingen and the
Hohenzollern on one side, and Ulm and Sigmaringen on the other.
The S.W. wing of the Alb is formed of the beautiful range between
the Hohenzollern and the Lupfen and of the plateau of the Hardt
and the Heuberg, bounded on the 8. by the lovely valley of the Dan-
ube between Signiaringen and Tuttlingen.
The picturcsfjue hills on the ]Sreckar side afford numerous views;
the valleys are luxuriantly fertile and partly clothed with fine beech-
forest; many of the towns are antiquated and interesting. Pedes-
trians in particular will find many attractions. Inns are generally
good and inexpensive. The finest points are the Licbtenstein and
Hohenzollern. The best season for a visit is spring or autumn.
Plan of Tour. 1st Day. Gmilnd, Hohenrechberg , Hohenstaufen ,

"Way Marks. The following complicated system of marking foot-
paths has been adopted by the Schwabischer Alb-Yerein. The two routes
(Nord or Neckar Randwcg, Stid or Donau Randweg) leading from Douau-
Avorth to Tuttlingen along the N. and S. margins of the Alb are marked
with red triangles, with the apex turned towards Tuttlingen. The routes
of approach are marked with yeUoio or blue triangles, according as they
lie within or without the district enclosed by the Randwege (apex turned
towards the Randwege). Both Randwege and routes of approach have
special marks for alternative paths (>), cross-paths (lozenge), and side-
paths (arrow), in red, yellow, or blue respectively. — The key-nia]j
issued by the Schwabischer Alb-Verein (1:200,000; two sheets, 1909 and
1912) contains all the way-marks mentioned above.

farther on, to the left beyond the village. We continue along the
road, partly through woods. After 72 ^^-i i^^ar a wide curve (avoid
the footpaths to the left), a steep club-path diverges to the right
(steps) to (7'4 hr.) the ruin of Rechherg (2110 ft.), the ancestral
castle of the Counts of Rechberg, now occupied by a forester (visi-
tors admitted). View from the bridge. — A path, with Stations of
the Cross, leads E. from the ruin to (10 min.) the top of the —
*Hohenrechberg (2320 ft.), with a frequented pilgrimage-
chapel (rfmts. at the presbytery, but no night-quarters). The view
(indicator near the church) embraces a fertile and undulating land-
scape, sprinkled with villages, stretching N. as far as the Welzheimer
Wald and the Waldenburg and Limpurg hills. To the W. rise the
Hohenstaufen and the Black Forest hills; S.W. extend the ranges of
the Swabian Alb; in clear weather the Tyrolese and Swiss Alps
may be descried to the S.E. Panorama (1 ^) on sale at the pres-
bytery. A signal is hoisted when the view of the Alps is clear.

Short of the castle-bridge we turn to the right and after 20 paces
descend the footpath to the left. At (20 min.) the "W. exit of the
village oi Rechherg we take the road to the right (finger-post; red
way-marks) and follow the telegraph poles (footpaths) over the Aas-
rucken, or crest of the hill, to the road, which (^/ihr.) joins the road
from Maitis to Hohenstaufen (see below). We follow it for Y^ hr.,
then ascend the zigzag path to the right to (V4 hr.) the summit.
Ascent op the Hohenstaufen from Lorch (p. 38), 3 hrs. A

A footpath ascends thence in Y4 hr. to the top.
The *Hohenstaufen (2245 ft.) was crowned with the castle of
the illustrious family of Staufen or Hohenstaufen from about 1070
until its destruction in the Peasants' War in 1525. This family
occupied the imperial throne from 1138 to 1254. The ground-plan
of the castle is still distinguishable. The large shelter (rfmts.)
contains a memorial to the Hohenstaufen. The view is fine, but
less extensive than from the Hohenrechberg (p. 68).

Urach (1530 ft.), an old-fashioned little town of 5400 inhab.,
charmingly situated in the Erms-Tal, is frequented as a summer
resort. Opposite the station is the Schloss, erected in 1443 and
now occupied by officials. The 'Goldner Saal' (adm. 20 pf.; free on
Sun. in summer, 11-12) contains gilded wood-carvings and coats-of-
arms, souvenirs of Dukes Eberhard and Ulrich, and a carved wooden
portrait of Count Henry of Mompelgard (late 16th cent.); the
'Weisser Saal' contains collections of natural history and antiqui-
ties (key at Schlosshof l*. The late-Gothic St. Arnancliis-Kirche,
K of the Schloss, built in 1479-99 and restored in 1896-1901, con-
tains the confessional of Duke Eberhard im Bart, with good carv-

Urach, a richly decorated pulpit, and fine epitaphs (sacristan, 'Beim
Schloss' 2; adm. 30 pf.. Sun, 11-12 free). Adjoining the church is
the Protestant Seminary, formerly the canonry. The fine Fountain
in the market-place, a little to the E., reached via the Kirch-Str.,
is a copy of the original of 1518.
The best way (50 min.) to the ruined fortress of Hohenurach
(2305 ft.) is to follow the railway-line to the left from the station (way-
mark red triangle), crossing the rails after ^ ^ hr. ; after 100 paces
we reach the Schulmeisters-Buche at the edge of the wood, whence
we ascend the zigzag path (way-mark blue triangle) to the left. The
castle was built in the 11th cent., and after numerous sieges was dis-
mantled at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries.
Charming view, though limited.

*Schloss Lichtenstein (2680 ft.), erected in 1841 by Count
William of Wurtemberg on a projecting rock, 950 ft. above the
Honau valley, is one of the most attractive points in Swabia. Ad-
jacent is the ducal residence (1901; no adm.). — The Schloss is
open on week-days 8-12 and 1-6 (Oct.-March 9-12 and 1-4), on Sun.
and holidays 1-5 (1-4); adm. 40, with the tower 80 pf. It is closed
on Christmas Day, Easter Sunday, Whit-Sunday, and Whit-Monday.
The castle, skilfully adapted to its site, is approached by a draw-
bridge over a cleft in the rock. The interior is fitted up in the
'Gothic' style, and contains various curiosities and old German
pictures of the Swabian school. The principal attraction is the
*Yiew from the tower. In fine weather, to the S. beyond the plateau
of the Alb, the Swiss and Tyrolese Alps are visible; X., far below,
the green Honaucr Tal; beyond it the Achalm and the extensive
plain. Panorama by E. Werner (2 e/^).
About 3 min. W. of the Schloss is a forester's house with a
restaurant (D. 1 ^^ 60 pf. ; view).

The castle of *HoherLZollem or Zoller)iJ2S0b U.; restaurant,
see below), grandly situated on an isolated wooded eminence of the
Alb, was erected by King Frederick William IV. in 1850-56 as a
royal Schloss. The old castle, destroyed in 1423 by Countess Hen-
rietta of Wurtemberg, widow of EberhardlT.. and by the Swabian
towns, was restored for the last time in 1454 by the various branches
of the Zolleru family, but by the 19th cent, little of it remained
except the chapel of St. Michael.
We enter through the Adler-Tor (PL 1), the inscription over
which refers to the history of the Schloss (above, the Prussiau eagle
and an equestriaa figure in relief of the Elector Frederick L). We

three curves and a winding tunnel lead to the gate-tower (PI. 2), 75 ft.
higher up. The balustrade above the tunnel is adorned with two
men-at-arms in stone (fine view). The summit of the precipitous
rock is enclosed, in accordance with the ancient plan of the castle,
by walls 50-65 ft. in height, in the form of a heptagon, with bastions
and corner-turrets. Within this enclosure stands the modern castle,
with five towers, two of which rise to a height of 190 ft. above the
external walls. The two lowest of the five stories of the building
are vaulted and designed for purposes of defence.

Constance (1335 ft.), German Konstanz, a town of Baden with
29,600 iuhab., has iron-works and textile factories. It is situated
at the point where the Rhine emerges from the Lake of Constance.
Constance, which ascribes its origin to Coustantius Chlorus (3rd cent.),
became an episcopal see in the 6th cent, and was a free town until 1548,
when it was made subject to Austria. Since 1805 it has belonged to
Baden. After the Reformation the bishops resided at Mecrsburg (p. 92),
and in 1827 the bishopric was merged in the archbishopric of Freiburg.
The great Council of Constance, held in 1414-18 at the instance of the
Emperor Sigismund, suppressed the schism of the antipopes JohnXXIIl.,
Gregory XII., and Benedict XIII., and condemned the teaching of John
Huss (see p. 90).
The Miinster (PI. C, 4), begun in the 11th cent., was originally
a Romanesque basilica, but was altered in the Gothic style in 1435

and 1680. The tower (250 ft. high) was erected in 1850-57; the
perforated spire is of light sandstone; on either side is a platform
(view; adm. 20 pf.).
On the doors of the principal portal are 20 *Bas-reliefs representing
the life of Christ, carved in oak in 1470. The stone organ-loft, richly
ornamented in the Renaissance style, is supposed to have been designed
by P. riotner in 1518. In the nave, which is supported by 16 monolithic
columns (30 ft. high, 3 ft. thick), «xteen paces from the entrance, is a large
stone slab with a white spot, on which Huss is said to have stood when
the Council (comp. p. 89) sentenced him to death (July 6th, 1415). The
pulpit dates from the 17th century. In the choir is the brass of Eobert
Hallam, Bishop of Salisbury (d. 1417). The late-Gothic choir-stalls are
adorned with satirical sculptures (15th cent.). Adjoining the choir on the
right is the Margareten-Kapelle, with the tomb of Bishop Otto III. of
Hachberg (d. 1434) and wall-paintings of 1445. The left transept contains
an elegant spiral staircase (1438?). In the last chapel of the N. aisle is a
large altar-piece of the Swabian school (1524). — The Treasury (V2-I «^ to
the verger) contains illuminated missals (1496). • — From the N. choir-

restored: the house 'Zum Holieu Hafen' (PI. 1), with frescoes by
Haberlin (1906), and the Hotel Barbarossa (PI. i ; p. 89), in which the
Emperor Frederick I. concluded peace with the Lombard towns in
1183. — The Eathaus (PL B, 5), rebuilt in the Renaissance style in
1592, was decorated on the exterior in 1864 with frescoes illustrating
the history of Constance. It contains the municipal archives, com-
prising 2800 documents. Fine inner court. In the lobby of the second
floor are frescoes by Haberlin (1898).

The Lake of Constance (1295 ft.), German Boden-See, the
Lacvs Brigantinus of the Romans, is 40 M. long, 7^ 2 ^^- wide,
208 sq. M. in area, and at the deepest place, between Friedrichs-
hafen and Uttwil, 825 ft. in depth. Its principal feeder is the
Rhine, the deposits of which have formed a broad delta at its in-
flux between Bregenz and Rorschach. This vast sheet of water,
with its well-peopled banks, presents a scene of great beauty. On
the S, side are wooded hills, above which rise the distant Appenzell
Alps, with the snow-clad Sentis and, in clear weather, the snow-
peaks of the Vorarlberg Alps to the S.E. The E. and W. banks are
almost entirely flat, while on the N. wooded hills may be descried
in the distance. The climate is extremely mild. Vines flourish up
to 1500 ft. above sea-level, and orchards and lush meadows are
found even higher. — The best fish are 'Felchen', 'Sander', and
salmon -trout; the best wine grown on the banks is 'Meersburger'.

the Lake of Constance, or Uherlinger See, is the lovely island of —
*MairLau (Map, see opposite), 110 acres in area, connecter! with
the mainland by an iron bridge. Originally belonging to the Abbey
of Reichenau (p. 88), it was from 1272 to 1809 the seat of a lodge
of the Teutonic Order. In 18r)3 it became the property of Grand-
Duke Frederick I. of Baden, who refurnished the Schloss (built in
1739-46; adm. in the absence of the court onlv) and laid out the

Frankfort on the Main (300 ft.), German Frankfurt am Main ,
with 436,000 inhab,, on the right bank of the Main, was formerly
a free town of the empire and first appears in history in the reign
of Charlemagne. It is now the head- quarters of the 18th army-
corps and the seat of numerous scientific institutions. It has long
been one of the most important commercial centres of Germany.
The old part of the town, which is surrounded with promenades,
has numerous public buildings and private houses of the 15th-18th
centuries. The finest residential quarter is the AY. end. Sachsen-
hausen, on the left bank, which is connected with Frankfort by five
bridges, has important fruit-culture.

In the Schloss-Gasse, to the S. of the Schloss, is the Pfarr-
Kirche or Church of Our Lady (PI. B, 3), rebuilt in 1768-75,
with ceiling-paintings. The only relic of the original church is the
fine tower, begun in the Romanesque style, with an upper story of
ca. 1220-30 and a late-Gothic steeple.
The Dalberg-Str. leads to the left from the S, end of the Schloss-
G-asse to the Stifts-Platz, v>'hence a double flight of steps (16th cent.)
ascends to the *Stifts-Kirche, or Abbey Church of S/S. Peter &
Alexander (PL B, C, 3), a Romanesque basilica founded in 973
and rebuilt in the 12th-13th centuries. It possesses a beautiful W.
gallery and transitional transepts and choir. Of the two towers the
Gothic S. tower only has been completed. On the X. side are fine
transitional cloisters and the late -Gothic Maria -Schnee-Kapelle,
built by Cardinal Albert of Brandenburg and dedicated in 1516.
Above the main portal is a late-Romanesque relief, representing
Christ between SS. Peter and Alexander.
The Interior (sacristan Stifts-Gasse 1, on the X. side; adm. 50 pf.,
for a party 30 pf. each) was skilfully restored in 1870-81. In the nave are
a handsome late-Renaissance pulpit (ca. 1590) and several Renaissance
tombs, incl. (left: 6th pillar) the tomb of Gcorg von Liebenstein (d. 1533)
and (right; 7th pillar) the brass of Melchior von Graenroth bv Hieron.

leading to the Maria-Schnee-Kapelle, is a large painted Crucifix (early
13th cent.) ; the chapel itself contains a Christ in Hades and a Resur-
rection by L. Cranach the Elder, and, behind the altar, two wings (SS.
Martin and George) and the base of the original altar-piece (1519) by
M. Grilneioald, who was probably a native of Aschaffenburg. In the 2nd
chapel is a bronze canopy by Hans Vischer (1536), on which stands the
gilt coffin of St. Margaret. Farther ou in the left aisle is the carved
altar of the fourteen 'Xothelfer' (p. 135; early 16th cent.). —At the W.

the Main, with garden), a small Baden town of 3650 inhab., first mentioned
in 779. It is pleasantly situated at the confluence of the Tauber and the
Main, at the foot of a wooded, ruin-crowned hill. Wertheim is a good
example of a mediaeval town and has remains of town-walls and numerous
16th cent, frame-houses. Turning to the left from the station, we cross
the railway and the Tauber and follow the Briicken-Gasse to the (8 min.)
picturesque market-place, at the S. end of which is the Engels-Brunnen
(1574). Straight on lies the Protestant Parish Church, rebuilt after 1383
in the Gothic style, with a pretty tower. In the choir are tine monu-
ments of the Counts of Wertheim (15th -17th cent.). Opposite is the
pretty two-storied Kilians-KapeUe (1472), containing a collection of anti-
quities (tickets at the Rathaus, 25 pf.). Thence we may ascend in 6 min.

The Spessart.
The Spessart, an attractive forest-district noted for its gigantic oaks
and beeches, lies within the bend made by the Main between Gemiinden
and Hanau, and is bounded on the N. by the Kinzig and on the N.E.
by the Sinn. Geologically it consists mainly of crystalline schist and
(to the S.) red sandstone. The S. part (see the adjoining Map) is especially
worth a visit; almost in the centre rises the Geijersberg {1Q20 H.), from
which long hills radiate to the W., S., and E., on the crests of which
we may walk for hours at a time. — The Verein der Bpessart-Freunde,
which maintains and marks the paths, has published a map of the district,

Wiirzburg (575 ft.), with 90,000 inhab. (one-fifth Protestauts),
once the capital of an episcopal principality, is the seat of a univer-
sity (1500 students) and of a bishop, and the head-quarters of the
2nd Bavarian army-corps. It is pleasantly situated in the vine-clad
valley of the Main, which expands here into a basin. The older part
of the town, on the right bank, is encircled with fine promenades
and contains several churches and other buildings of the time of
the prince-bishops. The town is dominated by the old fortress of
Marienberg, on the left bank. The industrial products of Wiirzburg
include printing-machinery and beer; it is also the centre of the
Franconian wine-trade.
The importance of Wiirzhurg as the capital of Fraueonia began with
the labours of St. Kilian. apostle of Franconia, martyred liere in 68H
(comp. p. 121). Castellum Yirteburc (p. 125". the oldest part of the set-
tlement, is first mentioned in 701. The first Ijishop was St. Burkanl
(741-754), consecrated by St. Boniface, who removed his residence from
the Marienberg (p. 125) to the right bank of the Main. The bishops soon
attained to great wealth and power, and were created dukes by Emperor
Henry II., a dignity confirmed to Bishop Eerold by Frederick I. in
1168. The efforts of the citizens to shake off the authority of the
bishops were in vain, and although Wiirzburg was recognized by King
"Wenzel in 1397 as a free citj- of the empire, their hopes were shattered by
the Battle of Bergtheim in 1400. Their participation in the Peasants' War
(1524-5). during which the Marienberg was several times assaulted in vain
,by the insurgents, led to the extinction of the last vestiges of liberty.
Julius Echter von Mespalhrunn (1573-1617), the most famous of the prince-
bishops, who relentlessly exterminated Protestantism in 1584-6 with the aid
of the Jesuits, distinguished himself by establishing the Julius-Spital in
1576 and by refounding (in 1582) the university, which had previously
existed from 1402 to 1413. Wiirzburg was occiiipied by the Swedes in
1632-4, but the Swedish garrison on the Marienberg was forced to capit-
ulate in 1635. During the 18th cent, the bishops added many new build-
ings ; the city is especially indebted to the Schonborns [Johann PhiJipp
Franz, 1719-24; Friedrich Karl. 1729-46), under whom flourished the
architect Johann Balthasar Neumann (1687-1753), a native of Eger.
The victory of the Archduke Charles in 1796 freed Wiirzburg only tem-
porarily from the French invasion ; the bishopric was incorporated with
the Bavarian Palatinate in 1803. and from 1806 to 1814 Wiirzburg was the
capital of a grand-duchy of the Rhenish Confederation under Ferdinand
of Tuscany. In 1866 the campaign of the Prussian army of the Main
concluded here with the bombardment of the Marienberg (July 27th). —
In the middle ages (especially in the 14th cent.) Lower Franconia was
the seat of an important school of sculpture, the chief representative of
which was Tihnan Biemenschneider, who lived at Wiirzburg from 1483
till his death in 1531.
From the Bahnhofs-Platz (PL D, 1), with the St. Kilian Foun-
tain (1895) and ^statue of Prince-Regent Luitpold (1903), the
Kaiser-Str. (PL D, 1, 2) and Theater-Str. (PL D, 2, 3) lead to the
(10 min.) Residenz-Platz. The Hanger Pfarr-Gasse, diverging to
the left opposite the Julius -Promenade (p. 122), about half-way,
Pnlf'ce. WCRZBURG. iO. Route. 119
leads to the Stift-Hauyer Kirche (PL D, 2), with two towers and
a dome, built in 1670-91 in the baroque style by Antonio Petrini,
who was influenced by the Church of the Gesu at Rome. The interior
is consistently baroque (fine pulpit). — In the Theater-Str., to the
left, is the Biirger-Spital (I'l. D, 2), founded in 1319, which owns
large vineyards.
The quiet and spacious Residen'z-Plat/ (PI. D, E, 3) is bounded
oil the E. by the palace, on the N. by the Rosenhachscher Hof
(now the residence of the provincial president,!, and on the S. by
the Gesaiidten-Ban (now municipal offices^. In front of the palace
is the Luitjiold or Franconia Fountain, by V. von Miller (1894),
with seated figures of Walther von der Yogelweide (p. 122i, Tilinan
Rienienschneider I'p. 118), and Matthias Grilnewald.
The *Palaee (Residenz), formerly that of the prince-bishops,
now belonging to the king, erected in 1720-44 in a free baroque
style by J. B. Neumann, is one of the grandest 18th cent, edifices
of its kind. The huge sandstone building, consisting of a central
structure and two projecting wings, is 280 yds. long, 100 yds. broad,
and 70 ft. high, and contains 5 courts, 5 halls, 312 rooms, and a
chapel. The frescoes of G. B. Tiepolo of Venice, dating from
1751-3, mark the end of the splendid rococo decoration; the stair-
case and some of the rooms in the X. wing ('Ingelheimer Bau'; arc
in the Louis XVI. style, while other rooms were redecorated in the
Empire style by N. A. de Salins in 1807-14. — The rooms on the
first floor are shown daily 10-12 and 2-5 (Oct. -March 2-4), Sun
10-12; adm. 50 pf. ; tickets in the "White Room (see belowi; thi-
visit takes ^ .,-^ 4 hr.
"NVe pass through the portal of the left (X.) wing and in the back-
court enter to the right the spacious Hall (adm. free) of the central
building. The garden-saloon, behind it, on the left, has a ceiling-
painting by Job. Zick (d. 1762). The lofty ceiling of the *Staircasl
is adorned with an immense fresco by G. B. Tiepolo, representing
Olympus and the four Continents.
AVe now reach the apartments on the upper floor. The White
Room, with elaborate stucco ornamentation in the rococo style, is
followed by two anterooms and by eight rooms in the Empire style,
in one of which Prince - Regent Luitpold (1821-1912i was born.
From the corridor we obtain a view to the right of the sumptuous
Chapel, which contains two altar-pieces by Tiepolo (Assumption
and Fall of the Angels). Next come the Banquet Hall and a number
of apartments in the Empire style, then the *j\[irror Room, the
Venetian Room, the Throne Room, and the Reception Room (with
fine tapestry, History of Alexander, continued in the following-
rooms), all in the rococo style. The octagonal Kaiser-Saal, over-

We continue along the Hof-Str, past the Parade-PIatz (PI. I), 8)
to the Cathedral iSt. Kilian: PL C, D, 3), a cruciform Roman-
esque basilica with four towers, begun in 1042 under Bishop Bruno
on the site of a 9th cent, church and continued under Bishops Em-
bricho (1127-46) and Hermann (1222-54). The interior was fitted
up in the baroque style in 1701, the choir lowered in 1749, and the
exterior restored in 1879-85.
The IxTEKiOR is usually open until noon only; the sacristan, who
shows the vestment-room, Schonborn chapel, Sepultur, and cloisters, lives
in the annexe to the right of the Schonborn chapel (gratuity). In a recess
at the end of the right aisle, near the main entrance, is a group in sand-
stone of the Death of the Virgin (ca. 1480) ; in front are two Romanesque
columns (lltli cent.\ The bronze font in the nave, near the entrance,
is by Eckhard of Worms (1279) ; by the two first pillars on each side are
statues by Tihnan Riemenschiieider (Christ, St. Peter, St. Andrew, and
St. John the Evangelist), from the Marien-Kapelle (p. 122). On the 5th,
Rth, and 8th pillars on the left are Mary and the Magi (ca. 1300); by
the 8th pillar on the right is the handsome Renaissance pulpit, by Michael
Kern (1609). The church contains many tombs of bishops, of "which we
may mention that of Seinsheim 1^^1735-79), near the 3rd pillar on the X. side,
by J. P. Wagner: those of Bibra (1495-1519) and Scherenberg (1466-95), by
the 6th and 7th pillars on the right, both executed hy Biemenschneider :
those of Julius and Sebastian Echter von Mespelbrunn (p. 118), by the
3rd pillar, the former by M.Kern: and that of Conrad von Thiingen
(d. 1540), in the right transept, on the wall of the choir, by Loif Bering.
On the right of the choir steps is an altar with tlie relics of Bishop Bruno
(see above). — In the richly decorated choir (elegant rococo screen) are
beautiful rococo stalls (1750); from the roof hangs a large painted crucifix
(1478). — The vestment-room, to the S. of the choir, contains vestments,
mitres, and Antwerp tapestry (legend of St. Kilian'l.
Adjoining the S. transept on the S. is the late-gothic Sepultur (15th cent.1,
the old burial-chapel of the canons. — The W. door of the S. transept leads
to the cloisters (usually open), completed in 1453, with numerous tombs
of canons. By the E. wall is the alabaster tomb of Baur von Eiseneck
(d. 1621) hy 3f'. Kern : by the W. wall is the cenotaph of Margrave Frederick
of Brandenburg (d. 1536) by Loi/ Bering.
Adjoining the X. transept is the Schonborn Chapel, a superb rococo
structure by J. B. Xeiimann (1721-36), with the tombs of the two prince-
bishops (p. 118).
To the N. of the cathedral, on the spot where St. Kilian (p. 118)
and his companions SS. Kolonat and Totnan sutfered martyrdom
(festival on Sun. following July 8th), rises the Neumiinster-
Kirche (PI. C, D, 3), founded about 1010, but rebuilt in the tran-
sitional style in 1223-47, with a fine tower. The handsome red
baroque facade was constructed in 1711-19; the dome was added
in 1736.
The well-proportioned Interior (sacristan, Herzogen-Str. 3) was altered
in the 18th cent, in the baroque style. It contains (to the right of the
main entrance) the tombstone of Abbot Johann Trithemius (d. 1516), the
humanist, and (opposite) a charming sandstone figure of the Madonna
(1493: disfigured by repainting), both by Biem-enschneider. In front of
the high-altar are painted busts of the "three apostles of Franconia (see
above), also by Riemenschneider. Under the cupola, on the right and left,
are the entrances to the W. crypt ('Kilians-Gruft'). where the three apostles
are interred, with copies of the above-mentioned busts. The Romanesque
E. crypt, under the choir ('Kreuz-Gruff), dates from the 11th century.

On the outside E. wall of the S. aisle, near the choir, is a tablet
put up in 1843 to the memory of Walther von der Vogehceide (d. 1230),
the greatest of the mediaeval German poets, who was interred in the old
cloisters (pulled down in 1883: p. 120).
At Herren-Grasse 8, to the N.E., is the old canonry, with a
tasteful oriel-window, rebuilt in the Renaissance style in 1594, and
now (since 1817) the Bishop's Palace (PL D, 3). The chapel con-
tains an alabaster altar by M. Kern.
The busy Dom-Strasse (PI. C, 3), with quaint houses, leads W.
from the cathedral to the Alte Maiu-Brlicke (p. 124). Xear the end,
to the right, opposite the Vierrohren-Bi'unnen (1766), rises the
Old Rathaus (PI. C, 3), with the Romanesque Grrafen-Eckards-
Turm, heightened in 1453 and 1588. The council-chamber, or King
Wenzel's Room, is an important monument of mediccval secular
architecture, now being restored. The JRoter Ban, behind it to the
left, is a baroque edifice of 1659. Adjacent, to the N., in the Kar-
meliten-Grasse, is the New Bathaus, in the German Renaissance
style (1898-9). — The Karmeliten-Str. leads hence to the X., passing
the FiscHMARKT (PL C, 3), with the Fischer'-Brunnen by Kohler
(1770); on the right (No. 20) is the imposing baroque Hof zicm
Riickermain (1715-22).
From the Fischmarkt we proceed E. to the Markt-Platz (PL
C, 3), in which rises the elegant Grothic *Marieii-Kapelle, erected
in 1377-1479; the perforated spire was rebuilt in 1856-8.
The Gothic sculptures on the three portals (Last Judgment, Annun-
ciation, Coronation of the Virgin) date from the first half of the 15th cent-
ury. The 14 statues on the buttresses (six replaced by copies; comp.
p. 120) are from Riemenschneider's studio (1500-6). — In the interior,
which was restored in 1856-7, are the tombstone of a knight (1499) and
wooden *Statues (SS. Dorothea and Margaret) by Riemenschneider.
To the E. of the Marien-Kapelle is the Ha us zum Falken, with
fine rococo decoration (ca. 1735). — From the E. end of the Markt-
Platz we follow the Schoxborx-Strasse (PL C, 2) to the N. The
Sandhof (resianr ant) .1 in the courtyard of No. 3, to the left, retains
its picturesque Renaissance interior of 1596-1614. To the right in
the Dominikaner-Platz rises the Augustiner-Kirche, formerly
the Dominican church (PL C, D, 2); the nave, erected in 1280, was
rebuilt in 1743-62 by J. B. Neumann, while the choir dates from
1308-12; elaborate rococo altars and decoration.
The Schonborn-Str. ends at the Jruis-PROMEXADE (p. 118). To
the left is the bronze statue (1847) of Bishop Julius Echter von
Mespelhrunn (p. 118). Opposite rises the Julius -Spital (PL
C, D, 2; wine-room, see p. 117), a large group of buildings begun
in 1576 and rebuilt in the 17th-18th cent, (visitors admitted). The
rear -building ('Fursten-Bau'), completed in 1704 by Petrini, con-
tains the quaint old Apotheke, with interesting ironwork over the
dispensing- table, by Oegg (1762). The central passage in the
Fursten-Bau contains an old relief from a portal (1579). In the

P'rom the W. end of the Julius -Promenade, where there is an
old Crane (1767) bearing the arms of its builder Bishop Seinsheim,
the Kkanex-Kai (PI. B, C, 2) descends the bank of the Main to the
Lfuitpold-Bridge (PI. B, 1). Here, on the right, begins the Pleicher
Ring (PL C, D, 1\ which leads to the Bahnhofs-Platz (p. 118) and
contains most of the Medical Institutes of the university, the Phy-
sical Institute (No. 8; with a tablet to Prof. Rontgen^ who disco: er-
ed the Rontgen rays here in 1895), and the Botanical Gardens
(interesting glass-houses). To the Steinberg, see p. 126.
From the Dom-Str. (p. 122) the Augustiner-Str. (PI. C, 3, 4),
passing the Ehemannsches Haus (No. ^/g; frame-building of 1547
in the court), leads S. to the Neubau-Strasse (PI. C, D, 4), which
affords a pretty view of the fortress (p. 125) and also contains
ancient houses and courtyards (No. 2 , on the right , with a timber
fagade of the early 17th cent.; No. 7, on the left, with rococo decora-

The once celebrated Benedictine abbey of *Banz (1380 ft.i,
founded in 1069, was dissolved in 1803. The extensive buildings,
beautifully situated on a wooded height 525 ft. above the Main, date
mostly from the 18th cent, and now belong to the widow of Duke
Charles Theodore of Bavaria. The interior (visitors shown round
in '/._, hr. ; gratuity) contains a collection, of fossils found in the lias
of the neighbourhood (fine saurians, ammonites, etc.). The Descent
from the Cross, a relief in silver in the chapel, presented by Pope
Pius VI. to his godson Duke Pius of Bavaria, is erroneously attrib-
uted to Cellini. The interior of the baroque abbey-church (1710-18)
is arranged for picturesque effect (best view at the entrance, whence
no windows are visible). The terrace on the S, side of the abbey
affords a delightful view, with Yierzehnheiligen and the Staffelberg

Vierzehnheiligen (1270 ft."; Hot. Hirseh. R. 80 pf.-lVa <^), "visited by
50,000 pilgrims annually. It was begun in the rococo style in 1743 by
J. B. Xcuiiianu (p. 118) and ounipleted in 1772. The interior is even
more bizarre than that of the Banz churcii (see above). The Gnaden-Altar
in tlie centre of the nave marks the spot, where, according to the legend,
the 14 'Notlielfer' ('helpers in need', i.e. patron -saints against various
diseases and other evils) appeared to a shepherd-boy in 14J."), and gave rise
to the foundation of the churcli. Festival on the 4th Sun. after Easter.

to the Ludwigs-Brilcle (PL C, 2), and then the Hauptwach-Str. to
the MAxmiLiAxs-PLATz (PL B, C, 2), in which rises the Maximilian
Fountain (PL 13), by F. von Miller (1880', with bronze statues of
Maximilian I. of Bavaria, Emperor Henry II.. his wife Kunigunde,
Bishop Otho the Saint, and Emperor Conrad III.
Farther on is the Gruxee Makkt (PL B, 2, 3). On the right is
the St. Martins - Krrclie (PL 1), built in the baroque style in
1686-93. The nave has waggon-vaulting; the crossing is adorned
with deceptive architectural painting in the style of Andrea Pozzo.
The tower, 180 ft. high, affords a good survey of the town. Ad-
joining the church is the Boyal Lyceum (PL 4). built in 1696-1719,
formerly the university (see above) and Jesuit college. The entrance.

contains engravings (near tlic entrance); fragments of a MS. of Livy
(5th cent.: left row); fine parchments from the library bequeathed by
Emperor Henry II. to the chapter of Bamberg (from 6th cent, onwards',
incl. the -Bible of Alcuin\ probably written at Tours ca. 800 (Case XY).
and the prayer-books of Henry II. and his wife Kunigunde, with fine
Byzantine ivory diptychs of tlie 6th cent. ('? ; Case XYI) ; also valuable
ijindings and miniatures.
Farther on in the Griiner Markt, to the left, rises the Neptune
Fountain ('Gabelraann'; Pi. 14, B 3), erected in 1698. The Obst-
niarkt leads thence to the Ohere Briicl-e (PI. B, 3), a bridge over
the left arm of the Regnitz, completed in 1456, with a view down-
stream of tlie old fishermen's houses ('Little A^enice'). On the right
is a stone Crucifix of 1715. On a artificial island half-way across the
bridge stands tlie Rathaus (PL 7i. built in 1746-54 and adorned
externally with allegorical frescoes by J. Anwander. The old tower
above the entrance to the bridge i.s adorned with two rococo bal-
conies. — The Karolinen-Str. ascends thence to the Karolixex-
Platz, a square enclosed by the cathedral and the palaces. At the
E. end of the cathedral stands an equestrian statue of Prince-
Eegent Luitpold (PL 16), by F. von Miller (1899). In front of the
old palace is a statue of the prince -bishop Franz Ludirig von
Frthal (d. 1795; PL 15), by AN^idnmann (1865i.
The "^Cathedral (PL B, 3), with its four conspicuous eight-
storied towers (265 ft. in heighti, is one of the grandest Roman-
esque edifices in Germany. The original building was a flat-roofed
basilica, founded by Emperor Henry IL in 1004 and destroyed by
fire in 1081. The present church was erected on the old founda-
tions in 1237. The two towers at the E. end are Romanesque, but
the open-work turrets on the two "VV. towers reveal the influence
of the early French-Gothic style, which is also apparent in the W.
choir (completed at the end of the K^th cent.) and the transept.
The spires of the four towers date from 1767. The interior of the
cathedral is 312 ft. long, 93 ft. wide, and 83 ft. high. The *Sculptures
are among the best examples of German plastic art between the
lato-Romanesque and the early-Renaissance periods. Comp. p. xix.
The recessed Fursteii-rorta}. or main portal, on the X., facing the
Karolinen-Platz, resembles the 'Goldene Pforte' of Freiberg Cathedral;
its sculptures represent the Last Judgment (above the archilrave). the

of the Church (left) and Synagogue (right ; with its eyos bandaged). The
two portals on the E. choir are also embellished with sculptures: on the
left (S.) portal ('Adams-Pforte") are figures of St. Peter, Adam, and Eve
(right; the first nude statues executed since the classical period), and of
Henry II., Kunigunde, and St. Stephen (left; ca. 12i0) ; the right (X.)
portal ('CTnaden-Pforte') has columns with elaborate capitals, with the
Yirgin worshipped by saints above the architrave (ca. 1200?).
The *Interior (open 5.30-12 and from 2 till the Angelus) wa.? restored
under King Louis I. in 1832-7. The sacristan, who shows the choir-screens,
crypt, and treasury, lives at the S.W. corner, by which we enter the
church (for 1-3 pers. 1 ,^^, for each pers. more 30 pf.).
In the centre of the Nave is the *Tomb of Henry II. (d. 1024) and
Kunigunde (d. 1038), executed by Tilman Eiemensclineider (p. 118) in
1499-1513. On the ornate limestone sarcophagus repose the emperor and
empress, over lifesize, in the costumes of the 15th century. Reliefs on
the sides : (1) The Empress proves her innocence by walking over red-
liot ploughshares; (2) She pays the workmen emploved in building the
church of St. Stephen; (3) Death of the Emperor ;' (4) The Archangel
Michael weighing the soul of the Emperor; (5) The Emperor cured of
an illness by St. Benedict.
By the pillar to the left of the steps leading to the St. George's or
E. Choir is an '^Equestrian Figure of Emjyeror Conrad III., who died
at Bamberg in 1152 and was buried in the cathedral (or of Stephen, King
of Hungary, who is said to have been baptized here; or of one of the
Magi); on the pillar to the right is a relief of the Annunciation. The
choir contains, on the right, the tombstone oi Prince-Bishop George II.
(d. 1505), from Peter Yischer's studio, and the sarcophagi of Bishop Giinther
(d. 1065; 13th cent.) and Bishop Otho II. (d. 1196; Romanesque). The
bronze Christ over the altar was designed by Schwautlialer. — The stone
screens separating the E. choir from the aisles are adorned with *Sculp-
tures of the 13th cent., revealing French influence. In six niches on the
S. side are figures in relief of the twelve Apostles, while in the seventh
niche is St. Michael and the Dragon. In similar niches on the X. side
are twelve Prophets. On the intervening pillar are three beautiful figures
of the Madonna, *St. Elizabeth (left: "also identified as St. Anne or a
sibyl), and the Angel of the Annunciation (right; 'The laughing angel"). —
The Crypt, below the E. choir, is severely Romanesque; the vaulting
is borne by 14 round and octagonal columns. It contains the simple
Sarcophagus of Emperor Conrad III and a well.
In the St. Peter's or W. Choir is the low marble sarcophagus of Popte
Clement II. (d. 1047), once Bishop of Bamberg, with reliefs of the
13tli cent. (?j. On the walls are the tombstones of the prince -bishops
Schaumburg (d. 1475; Xo. 34, right). Gross-Trockau (d. 1.501; Xo. 36,
left), Pommersfelden {({.IbO^; Xo. 37, right), the last two being from
Peter Yischer's studio, and George III. of Limhurg (d. 1522), on the left
wall, by Loy Hering, in marble. The choir-stalls date from the late
14th century. — On the wall of the S. transept, to the left, adjoining the
W. choir, is a Byzantine ivory crucifix presented by Henry il. in 1008.
The Astosius-Kapelle, in the S. transept, contains an altar-piece
by Lucas Cranach the Elder (? J, representing the rosary, with saints and
portraits of Emperpr Max I., Pope Leo X., and other princes of that
period. — A door in the S. transept leads to the Heilige Xagel-Kapelle,
added in the 15th cent., which contains 64 brasses of canons (1414-1540)
and a carved rcredos of the 15th cent.; it is divided into two aisles by
three columns and two pillars. — The adjacent Treasury (adm., see
above), especially rich in Romanesque objects, contains four imperial
mantles (11th cent.), the skulls of Henry II. and Kunigunde in costly
mountings, the Emperor's crown, sword, drinking-horn, and knife, an
Alexandrian glass vessel (1st cent. A.D.). the enamelled head of St. Otho's
crozier, the shroud of Bishop Giinther (d. 1065), with a representation

of the East and West doing homage to Coustantine, a tall Romanesque
Easter- candlestick in bronze, vestments, liturgical ivory combs, reli-
quaries, portable altats, etc.
On the W. side of the Karolinen-Platz is the Alte Residenz
(AUe Hofhaltinig : PI. A, B, 3), with a lofty gable and handsome
uriel-window and gateway, built ca. 1570 on the site of an older
palace of the Counts of Babenberg, in which the Lombard kingBeren-
gar died in captivity in 9()() and Count Palatine Otho of Wittelsbach
slew Emperor Philip of Swabia in 1208. The courtyard is bounded on
the \V. by the old oflPices, picturesque frame-buildings with galleries
and exterior staircases (15th cent.j. — The N. side of the Karolinon-
Platz is occupied by the handsome Neue or Konigliche Resi-
denz, erected by L. Dientzenhofer under Bishop von Schonborn in
1695-1704. Here, on Oct. 6th, tS06,Xapoleon issued his declaration
of war against Prussia. The palace is open (entr. by the left portal;
50 pf.) 10-12 and 2-5 (Oct. -April 2-4), Sun. 10-12 only. In the
E. wing (right portal) is the Museum of the Historical Society
(Sun. 10.80-12; 20 pf.).
The Dom-Str., with the old canoni-ies. leads AV. from the old
palace to the Jakobsberg and the St. Jakobs-Kirche (PI. A, 3i,
a flat-roofed Romanesque basilica (1073-1109), with a Gothic W.
choir and an E. choir which was transformed in 1771 into a baro([ue
fa<;ade. To the Altenburg, see p. 151.
Short of the Jakobs-Kirche the Michaelsberg-Str. leads to the
right to the ^Michaelsberg (PI. A, 2i, with the conspicuous church
and other buildings of a Benedictine abbey founded by Henry II.
The court, which we enter by the W. gateway, affords a good picture
of a large mediceval convent, though the present buildings are later
than 1696. A staircase ascends to the St. Michaels-Kirehe, a
Romanesque basilica of the 12th cent., with Gothic additions. The
facade dates from 1700; the interior was altered in 1725-48 in the
baroque style and reiwvated at the end of the 19th century.
The Interior contains many tombs of bishops (16th-18th cent.), of
little artistic value, transferred hither from the cathedral. Fine 18th cent,
pulpit. Below the choir, umlcr the high-altar, is the toml> of St. Otho
(d. 1139), dating from the 1-lth cent.; on the lid is a figure of the saint.
Tlie statue at the back, in an earlier style, is also said to represent the
saint. Handsome rococo choir-stalls. On tiic ceiling are curious lio-
tanical paintings.

On the X. .side of the courtyard, to the right, adjoining the
church, is the old abbey, now the BiirgerSpital (PL 10; alms-
house); to the left are the secular buildings, with a brewery.
Passing the garden of the latter, we reach the terrace behind the
Michaels-Kirchc, where an avenue of limes aftbrds charming views
of the to\vn. Good cafe, much frequented in the afternoon.
From the Michaelsberg we go to the W., through the St. &etreu-
Str. and ne,ar a crucifix to the left to (6 min.) the Villa Benieis
(beyond PL A, 3), now a restaurant. — From the Michaelsberg the
Aufsees-Str., Elisabethen-Str., and Obere Sand-Str. descend to the
Rathaus ''p. 147), passing fine Stations of the Cross, by a sculptor
of the same t^'pe as Adam Ki-afft. From the Michaelsberg to the
Altenburg, see p. 151.
From the Obere Briicke fp. 147) we may ascend to the left
(S.W.) to the Pfahl-Platz and the Kaulbekg. On the Unterer Kaul-
berg, to the left, stands the Gothic Obere Pfarr-Kirche, or
Church of Our Lady (PL 2; B, 3), erected in the 14th century.
The interior of the nave was altered in the baroque style in the
18th century. On the >7. side is the Braut-Tiir, with an elegant
porch and figures of the Wise and Foolish Virgins. In the S. aisle
is a^ finely carved altar by Veit Stoss (1523). To the Altenburg,
see p. 151.
From the Pfahl-Platz (see above) we may go to the S. through
the Alte Jnden-Str., with the old Prellsches Haus (No. 14), in the
richest baroque style, and the Concordia -Str. to the Concordia
(PL 11; B, 4). a picturesque club-house on the river, with terraces
(best view from the 'Milhlworth' opposite, Pl."^ 4). ^Ve then ascend
the Stephansberg (PL B, 4), with its beer-gardens, and take the
Sternwarten-Str. to the left to the Observatory (Sternwarte; PL B,

lies the suburb uf Wunderburg. with barracks and market-gardens.
The *Theresienhain (PL C, 4; tramway, see p. 146), with its
old oaks, affords pleasant walks. A little to the S. of the river-baths
is a statue at King Louis II. in his coronation robes, by Kittler
(1910). In the middle of the wood is a cafe-restaurant. Pleasant
walk along the river to (^ .^ hr.) the village of Bug, at the S. end

BAYKEUTH. 23. Route. 151
Three pleasant routes lead to the Altenburg. By the first
(35 min.; steep) we ascend the Unterer Kaulberg (p. 150), passing
the Carmelite Convent (PL A, B, 4 1, with its interesting Romanesque
cloisters (gratuity to the porter; ladies not admitted); we then follow
the 'Knocklein' to the right and the Altenburger Str. (PI. A, 4) to
the left direct to the castle. The second route (45 min. ; good road)
ascends from the Jakobs-Kirche fp. 149) along the 'Jakobsberg' and
its continuation fkeep to the left at the top). A third route, still
longer, but affording extensive views of the Main valley, leads from
the Michaelsberg (p. 149) along the St. Getreu-Str., lastly through a
wood up the hill, where we turn to the left and ascend'the ravine. The
*Altenburg (1265 ft.), probably founded in the 10th cent., was
a stronghold of the prince -bishops from 1251, and was destroyed
in 1553 by Margrave Albert of Bayreuth, but was afterwards partly
restored. The new building of 1902 is occupied by a restaurant
(with beds). Fine view from the tower (165 steps; 10 pf. ; afternoon
light best). The 15th cent, chapel, restored in 1834, contains
16th cent, monuments and old stained glass.

Bayreuth or Baireuth (1120 ft.), with 34,500 inliab.,'tlie capital
of Upper Franconia, in the broad valley of the Bote7' Main, was
the residence of the j\Iargraves of Brandenburg- Kulmbach from
1603 to 1769, and has been Bavarian since 1810. It is mainly in-
debted for its present appearance to Margrave Christian (d. 1655),
who transferred his seat from Kulmbach hither, to George William
(d. 1726), and to Frederick (d. 1763), husband of Wilhelmine, the
talented sister of Frederick the Grreat. Bayreuth is famous for its
association with Richard Wagner, who lived here from 1872-83,
and for the performances of his operas in the theatre specially
built for the purpose.
At the end of the street ascending to the right as we leave the
station is seen the Wagner Theatre (p. 153). To the left the Bahn-
hof-Str. leads to the Luitpold-Platz. Farther on, to the left, is the
Opern-Str., with the Opera House (PI. C, 4; 1744-8), richly de-
corated in the interior in the Italian baroque style (adm. 11-1;
30 pf.). The Opern-Str. ends at the Maximilian-Platz, whence the
Maximilian-Str. diverges to the "W., the Lud^vig-Str. to the S., and
the Bad-Str. and Richard-Wagner-Str. to the E. Wagner^s House,
Richard-Wagner-Str. 48 (adm. to the front garden only), built in
1874 by Wolfel, bears the inscription: 'Hier, wo mein Wahnen

(d. Feb. 13th, 1883) is buried behind the house (apply to the
gardener; gratuity). At the corner of the Wahnfried-Str. and Liszt-
Str, is the house (No. 1 ; PI. C, 5; in which Franz Liszt isee below)
died in 1886. Opposite is an entrance to the Hof-Garten (see below;.
From the Maximilian-Platz (p. lh'2) the Ludwig-Str. leads S.
to the Residenz-Platz, in which is the Neiv Palace (PI. 9), erected
in 1754-73 in the baroque style. The left wing contains the col-
lections of the Kunst-Yerein and the Historical Society ^shown on
application). Behind the palace is the Hof-Garten, laid out in the
French style (military band on Sun.). The large Fountain (1700) in
front of the palace bears an equestrian statue oi Margrave Christia)i
Ernest (d. 1712). — At the S. end of the Ludwig-Str. rises Schwan-
thaler's statue of the humorist Jean Paid Bichter (PL 2 ; see below),
whose house is in the Friedrich-Str. (No. 5; PL B, 4, 5i.
From the K end of the Friedrich-Str. the Kanzlei-Str. leads
to the right to the Maximilian-Str. and the old palace. The Pro-
testant Stadt-Kirche (PI. 7; B, 4), built in the Gothic style in
1438-68, contains a fine high-altar of 1615. Beneath the church
is the Fiirsteu-Gruft, in which most of the princes from ca. 1600
to 1750 are interred.
The Old Palace (PI. 8), begun in 1454 and rebuilt after a lire
in 1758, is occupied by public offices. The octagonal tower in the
inner court (1603), with a spiral staircase and fine balustrade,
affords a good survey of the town and environs; key in the sacristy
of the Catholic church (see below) or in the Catholic clergy-house
(PI. C, 4; gratuity). In front of the palace is a statue of King
Maximilian II. (PL 3).
The Catholic Church (PI. 6), adjoining the palace, formerly
the palace-church, contains the tomb of Margrave Frederick and
his consort Wilhelmine (p. 152). — The Maximilian-Str. (market-

liave tasteful oriel-windows. — In the cemetery to the W, of the
town (Erlanger Str.) are the graves of Jean Paul (d. 1825) and
Franz Liszt (see above).
About Y4 hr. N. of the station, on a hill, stands the Wagner
Theatre or Festspielhaus (PI. C, 2; 1245 ft.), built by Semper in
1872-6, where the 'Nibelungen-Ring' was first performed in 1876
and 'Parsifal' in 1882. The theatre, which has a concealed orchestra,
contains 1650 seats (25 ^/l each). — About 5 min. higher up is
the Bilrgerreuthj a restaurant with a fine view. About V4 ^*■•
above the Biirgerreuth rises the Hohe Warte (1525 ft.; PL B, 1),
with the Sieges-Turm (55 ft. high), commanding an extensive view.
To theN.E. of Bayreuth, beyond the railway, lies St. Georgen,
commonly called the 'Brandenburger', a suburb founded by Mar-
grave George William (p. 152). On its N. side, 20 min. from the
station, is the former Chapter House (PI. D, 2) of the 'Ordre do

la Sincerite', instituted in 1712 by Margrave George William. The
meetings of the order were held in the neighbouring Ordens-Kirche
(PL D, 3), built in 1705-11. The balustrade of the gallery is adorned
with the arms of the knights down to 1767.
The Eremitage may Le reached on foot in 1 hr. (carr., see p. 152) by

walk, which ends at (6 miu.) the above-mentioned avenue, opposite the
Sonnen-Tempel. TheEremitage, with gardens, fountains, artificial ruins,
etc., was begun by Margrave George William in 1715. It is situated
on a hill (1250 ft.) washed on three sides by the Roter Main. From the
avenue we pass through an archway into a courtyard with the offices
(restaurant). A little to the W. is the Oberes SchJoss (adm., as for the
Unteres Schloss, 9-12 and 2-5; 50 pf . ; vi.sitors ring), containing a hand-
some rococo music-room and a number of family-portraits, incl. Frederick
the Great as a child and as king, and his sister the Margravine Wil-
helmine (p. 152), who wrote her memoirs here. The Unteres Schloss is
a crescent-shaped colonnade with rooms behind it, encircling the 'Grosses
Bassin' (see below). The small central building is called the 'Sonnen-
Tempel'. The walls and pilasters are fantastically inlaid with coloured
stones, rock-crystal, etc. In the interior are portraits of Margravine
Wilhelmine, Frederick the Great as a young grenadier, and the Countess
of Orlamiinde (p. 155). The temple contains handsome columns of striped
marble. The Fountains comprise the 'Grosses Bassin', an imitation of
that at Versailles, a second basin a little lower down, and a grotto.
They are set in motion on week-days for 50 pf. per person, on Sun. for

The Fichtel-Gebirge.
The Fichtel-Gebirge , situated mainly in the X.E. part of Upper
Franconia, consists principally of granite, gneiss, and crystalline slates,
and forms an important watershed between the affluents of the Elbe (Eger,
Saale), the Rhine (Weisser Main), and the Danube (Naab). It abounds in
pleasant valleys, massive crags amidst fine forest-scenery, and heights com-
manding beautiful views. — Granite and other quarries have now taken
the place of the old tin and gold mining and charcoal-burning industries.
The most convenient approaches are from Neuenmarkt-Wirsherg

situated at the mouth of a narrow valley watered by the Olschnitz
or Olsnitz, is a favourite summer resort. In the main street is the
KnrhavSj with reading-room, restaurant, and garden. On the slope
of the Schlossberg, in the Olschnitz valley, is the new colonnade
(band daily). We may ascend thence to the castle of Wallenrode
(1550 ft.), destroyed by the Hussites in 1431. From the upper
ruin a path leads past the ruined chapel to the lower ruin (fine
view from the tower, open about mid-day). From the 'Kapf (view;
ascended from the church), a spur of the Kirchleite, we may follow
the crest of the hill to the 'Rothersfelsen', with a view of the
castle-ruins. On the hill -slope to the S.E. of the town is the
'Rothersberg' promenade. — Panorama from the tower on the

post) we ascend to the left to (Y4 lir.) the Waldstein. A shorter foot-
path starts at the W. end of the village. The *Grosser Waldstein
(2880 ft.) is a group of granite rocks, made accessible by paths and
steps. On the highest point, to the S.E., stands the 'Schiissel', an
iron pavilion commanding an extensive view. The robbers' strong-
hold of Waldstein, of which fragments remain, was destroyed by
the Swabiau League in 1523. Adjacent is the finely situated Wald-
haus (2830 ft.; rfmts.).
From the Waldstein to Zell in Oherfranlcen, see p. 133. On the direct

The most striking point in the environs is the *Luisenburg
(2570 ft.), ^I^^r. S.W. of Alexandersbad and 2/4 hr. S. of Wunsiedel.
It was first made accessible in 1790 and derives its name from the
visit of Queen Louise of Prussia in 1805. A few traces of the old
castle of Luchshurg may be seen.
The Luisenl)urg is, as it were, a mountain in ruins. Huge fantastic
blocks of granite are piled together in wild confusion , the result of
disintegration ; they are partly overgrown with thick moss, interspersed
with pines and bushes. — At the entrance is a Hotel-Restaurant {22b'o ft. ;
R. 2 JC, B. 60 pf., P. from H JC). Numerous inscriptions on the rocks.
The rocky labyrinth affords a beautiful walk of about 2 hrs. (guide, not
essential,' 2 JC^ to the Kosseine 4 JC). Near the S. summit, between the
'Teufels-Treppe' and the 'Kreuz' (view), 1 hr. from the hotel, a path
leads to the (10 min.) Kaiser -Wllhelm- Felsen (2675 ft.), a huge block
affording a view. The Burgstein (2860 ft.), a group of rocks 25 min.
farther on, commands an open view to the E., N., and "W. The Haber-
steine (2790 ft.), 1/4 l^r. farther on, consist of four lofty rocks, of which
two form the Grrosser Haberstein and two the Kleiner Haberstein (the
latter inaccessible). The view is similar to that from the Burgstein.
On the highest rock are 'Druiden-Schiisseln' (p. 157).
The *Kosseine (3085 ft.), ^/^ hr. S. of the Habersteine (1\'^ hr.
direct from Alexandersbad, 2 hrs. from Wimsiedel), commands the
finest and most extensive view in the Fichtel-G-ebirge, em.bracing
the greater part of the Upper Palatinate to the S. At the top is a
belvedere; a little belov/ it is a shelter (11 beds at 1^ o ^l). Good
water 10 min. below the summit on the E. side.
From the Kosseine a path leads via the Mdtze (2665 ft.) and the Girgel-
stein (2435 ft.), passing the Prinz-Leopold-Warte (left), to the (2 hrs.)
Silberhaus (2335 ft. ; good rfmts.), whence we may ascend via (1 hr.) the
forester's house of Seehaus (3125 ft. ; rfmts.) to the Xusshardt and the (1 hr.)
Schneebery (p. 157). — From the Kosseine we may descend via Kosseine-

24. Pranconian Switzerland.
The small hilly district dignified with this title, forming the N.E.
portion of the Franconian Jura, lies nearly in the centre of a triangle
formed by Nuremberg, Bamberg, and Bayreuth. It consists of a tableland
1600-1900 ft. above the sea-level, with pretty valleys watered by the
Wiesent and its tributaries, and offering curious and varied socnery.
Its wooded heights are crowned with old castles. The picturesque 'Jura'
limestone and dolomite rock -formations occasionally assume the most
grotesque shapes; in the N.E. district, between the Aufsess valley and
Bayreuth, the plateau has a surface of sandstone. The Stalactite Caves
contain remains of antediluvian animals, specimens of which are preserved
in almost every museum in Europe.

Nuremberg, German Nilriiberg {Veguiiz 960 ft., castle 1150 ft.),
a free city of the empire down to 1806, has since belonged to
Bavaria and is the head-quarters of the 3rd Bavarian army-corps.
Pop. 360,000 (115,000 Catholics, 7800 Je^vs). Nuremberg lies in
a sandy plain, partly clothed with fir-trees and intersected by the
Pegnitz, Avhich divides the old town into two nearly equal parts,
the Lorenz and the Sebald sides, the latter being the older and
more interesting. There is no city in Germany so suggestive of the
prosperity and artistic taste of a 'city of the empire'. The Alt-
stadt, dominated by the citadel, is still enclosed by a wall, towers,
and a broad, dry moat. Nuremberg is also the chief commercial
and manufacturing toAvn in S. Germany. Machinery, toys, metal-
ware, lead -pencils, and beer are among its chief products. The
local line to Fiirth (p. 188), opened in 1835, is the oldest railway
in Germany.
History. The first historical mention of the castle of Nuremberg
occurs in a document of 1050. In 1105 the fortress afforded protection
for two months to Emperor Henry IV. against his rebellious son, after-
wards Ilonry Y. It subsequently passed by inheritance to the Hohen-
staufens, Frederick and Conrad, and in 1127 successfully defied the attacks
of the Emperor Lothair. From that date, with the exception, of a brief
Art History. NUREMBERG". 25. Route. . 167
period under the rule of Henry the Proud (1130-38), Xuremberg main-
tained its independence as a free city down to 1806. Conrad III. and
Frederick Barbarossa frequently occupied the castle, and the privileges
accorded to the town by these and other emperors greatly promoted its
progress, which was accelerated by its adherence to the Rhenish League.
From the S. slope of the castle-hill it gradually extended down to and
beyond the Pegnitz. The government was originally vested in the pa-
trician families ('Greschlechter'). and tliough expelled by the artisans in
l.B-18 they returned in the following year and with the aid of Charles IV.
obtained a firmer grasp of power. That emperor cherished a special
affection for Nuremberg, and in his Golden Bull of 1356 ordained that
every emperor should hold his first diet here. In 1424, during the Hussite
war, the imperial regalia were transferred by his son the Emperor Sigis-
mund to Xuremberg, whence they were removed to Vienna in 1796.
The early history of Nuremberg is closely interwoven with that of
the Hohenzollern family. The office of Burgrave, originally a deputy
of the emperor, was first held by Frederick I. (d. 1218) of this family.
About 1227 the Hohenzollerns divided into the Franconian and the
Swabian lines, and after the 13th cent, the chief residence of the
family was at Cadolzburg (p. 189), and after 1363 at Ansbach (p. 221).
When Frederick VI. was invested by the Emperor Sigismund with the
Mark of Brandenburg in 1415, the Hohenzollerns formally ceded to the
town their castle, which stood near the imperial castle, but they en-
deavoured to retain their other rights in Nuremberg. The bitter feuds
with the Margraves of Ansbach, Albert Achilles (1449) and Casimir (1502),
did not prevent the continuous growth of the town, which at the beginning
of the 16th cent, had become, like Augsburg, one of the chief depots of
the trade between Germany, Venice, and the East. At this period, too, it
was eminent as a centre of learning and took an active part in the intro-
duction of the Reformation. Regiomontanus the mathematician (p. 141),
Martin Behaim the cosmograplier, Christoph Scheurl and WiUibald Pirk-
heimer the scholars, and Hans Sachs the poet all resided at Nuremberg.
The discovery of the sea-route to India som^ewhat impaired the pros-
perity of the town; it suffered still more severely from its feud with
Margrave Albert Alcibiades (1552-4) and during the Thirty Years' War;
in the 18th cent, its decline was hastened by the feeble rule of the pa-
tricians. As an Bavarian city, however, Nuremberg has prospered greatly,
thanks to its favourable situation on the great routes of traffic. Its
population in 1871 amounted to 83,200.
Art History (comp. pp. xxiii-xxv). The principal churches, built
of red sandstone, date from the 13th-15th cent., but the Secular Buildings,
which render Nuremberg so picturesque, were erected mainly in the
16th and early 17th cent., with the exception of a few older stone build-
dings (e.g. the Nassauer Haus) and a number of frame-houses with wooden
galleries. In the domestic architecture of Nuremberg, one of the most
characteristic expressions of the German Renaissance, special attention
is given to the elegant oriel-windows ('Chorlein') and to the artistic
embellishment of the courtyards.
The zeal with which the art of Sculpture was cultivated at a very
early period is shown by the astonishing wealth of carving in the churches
and by the fountain-figures, as well as by the numerous signs and figures
of saints (14th-16th cent.) with which the houses are embellished. Few
authenticated names of artists have come down to us from the earlier
period, and for a long time it was customary to refer all works of art
to one or other of the three great masters Adain Krafft (ca. 14.50-1509)
the 'stone-mason', Veit Stoss (ca. 1450-1533) the wood -carver, and Peter
Vischer the Elder (ca. 1455-1529) the brass -founder. Krafft's principal
works are the Stations of the Cross on the way to the Johaunis-Kirch-
hof, the 'Sakramentshiiuschen' in St. Lawrence's, and the Schreyer monu-
ment in the Sebaldus-Kirche. The works of the first great creative
period (1477-96) of Veit Sxoss are to be sought for in Cracow. Both of

these masters are rooted in the traditions of mediseval art. Peter Yischer,
on the other hand, endowed with a delicate sense of form, illustrates
in the shrine of St. Sehald the triumph of the Renaissance spirit, to
which he was probahly introduced by his sons, Peter Vischer the Younger
(d. 1528), an artist of versatile imagination, who visited Upper Italy in
1508, and Hermann (d. 1516), who was in Rome in 1515. The foundry
of the Yischers was the most famous in Germany: after it closed much
meritorious work was produced by Pawt'ras Labemco?/" (1492-1563), a pupil
of the elder Vischer (Gansemannchen and other popular fountain-figures).
The Nuremberg school of Paikting, influenced at first by the early
masters of Prague and later by the Netherlandish schools, finds its first
important representatives in the anonymous painters of the Imhoflf,
Tucher (Hans Peurl ?), and Loffelholz altar-pieces, dating from the early
15th century. In the latter half of the same century Hans Pletjdemvurff
(A. 1472 ; influenced by Roger van der Weydcn) and Michael Wohlgemut
(1434-1519) were the most prominent of Nuremberg painters. The cha-
racteristic depth of meaning shows itself, even more distinctly than in
his paintings, in the woodcuts and engravings of Albrecht Dilrer (1471-
1528), a pupil of "Wohlgemut. His best works must be sought for at
Vienna, Munich, and Berlin. The only examples of his brush in his
native town are his two early works 'Hercules' and 'Pieta' and the por-
traits of "Wohlgemut and of the Emperors Maximilian I., Charlemagne,
and Sigismund (all in the Germanic Museum). Some of Diirer's numerous
pupils, the so-called 'little masters', Georg Pencz (ca. 1500-50), Hans
Sehald Beham (1500-50), and Barthel Beham (1502-40), were also pro-
minent as engravers. In other departments the most famous names are
those of Veit Hirschvogel the Elder and the Younger, painters upon
glass, the versatile Augustin Hirschvogel, and Albrecht and Nikolaus
Glockendon. the book-illustrators.
Painting now rapidly declined in Nuremberg. On the other hand the
Artistic Handicrafts flourished here till the 18th century. Among the
specialities of Nuremberg were artistic cabinets, pottery, iron -work,
pewter-work (Hans Lobsinger and Kaspar Emlerlein), and, above all,
the casting of medals and goldsmith's work. The most celebrated
die-cutters were Ludicig Krug (d. 1532) and the versatile Peter Flotner
(d. 1546): the best-known goldsmiths Wenzel Jamnitzer (loOS-So) and
Hans (d. 1585) and Elias LenJcer (d. 1591).

(PL D, E, 3; //), an early -Gothic church consecrated in 1274 but
rebuilt in 1428-34 (sacristan Konig-Str. 72, gratuity). Farther on,
on the same side, is the late -Gothic Mauthalle (PL D, 3; //),
originally a granary erected by H. Beheiin the Elder in 1498-1502
above the inner town-moat and now stores. The relief on the E.

The W. part and nave of the present edifice date from the first hall
of the 14th century. The 8. tower was completed in 1403. In
1403-45 the nave was enlarged, and in 1439-77 the choir was re-
built with aisles and ambulatory by Konrad Roritzer (p. 204). The
whole edifice has been restored since 1905 by Jos. Schmitz. Above
the sculptured AV. portal (1332) is a rose -window, 30 ft. in dia-
meter. The K tower, with its roof of gilded copper, 235 ft. in
height, was renewed after a fire in 1865. The church is 95 yds.
long and 30 yds. wide.

*Interior (adm.. see p. 166). The uuraerous Altars of the 15th-16th
cent, afford an interesting survey of the development of art in Nurem-
berg. In the gallery (usually closed) over the X. entrance is the Imhoff
Altar (ca. 1420), with the Coronation of the Virgin as altar-piece. The
Wolfgang Altar (N'o. .38; PI. 7), in the last chapel, dates from the same
period. By the pillar opposite is the large Dcocarus Altar (Xo. 42; PI. 8),
with animated figures of the Apostles (1406). Behind it is (Xo. 1) an
Adoration of the Magi, which, along with its four fine wing-paintings
fXos. 2, .3) on the pillar opposite (Annunciation, Adoration of the Child,
Flight into Egypt, and Massacre of the Innocents), is by the Master of
the LbffeJholz Altar (p. 174). Xear the latter, in the last three chapels
of the S. aisle, arc the altars of .St. Rochus (Xo. 12: PI. 9; 1499). St.
Catharine (Xo.l6: PI. 10\ and St. Martha (Xo. 18: PI. 11), all three
ascribed to the studio of Wolilgemnt. Passing the fine two-storied sacristy
(PI. 1 ; 1463) and the tower with the spiral staircase (1519). we reach the
krell Altar (Xo. 5; PI. 5; late 15th cent.), behind the high-altar, with
the earliest known representation of the town: the Altar of St. Anne
(Xo. 4; PI. 6). to the left, has wing-paintings hy Hans von Kulmbach {lb2l).
The choir, like the chapels, is hung with hatchments of patrician
families. The brass Gothic candelabrum is by P. ViscJier the Elder (1489).
In front of the high-altar (1839), suspended from the roof, is the *Ax-
(tElical Salutation, carved in wood by Veit Stoss and presented by
the Tueher family in 1518: it represents the Annunciation, enclosed in
a garland of roses with reliefs of the Seven Joys of the Virgin. On the
left of the high-altar is the *Sakramestshausciiex (PI. 4), or receptacle
for the host, the masterpiece of Adam Krafft {\i93-6), presented by Hans
Imhoff; it consists of a slender Gothic tower of limestone, resting on
tlie lifesize figures of the sculptor and his two assistants, and is en-
riched with numerous statues and scenes from the Passion; the apex is
bent like a bishop's staff. On the right of the high-altar is the Eenais-
sance brass of the provost Anton Kress (d. 1513), from the foundry of
Peter Vischer.
Most of the beautiful stained-glass *'Wikdows in the choir date from
the second half of the 15th century. The finest is the Volkamer window
iPl. 151, representing the genealogv of Christ with portraits of the donors
i'1493). The Tueher window (PI. 12), by J. Springlin of Zurich (1601), is
interesting also. Adjoining it is the 'Kaiser-Fenster" (PI. 13\ put up in
1881 in memory of the 84th birthday of Emperor William I. The four
Apostles (after Diirer; comp. p. 273) in the bottom row of the Schliissel-
felder window (PI. 14) are modern.
The Tugend-Brunnen, a fountain on the N.W. side of the
church, with numerous bronze figures, was executed in 1585-9 by
Benedict Wurzelbauer. To the left, at the corner of the Karolinen-
Str. (p. 179), is the *Nassauer Haus (PI. D, 3; 77), with a
iKisteful oriel, a gallery with coats -of- arms, and corner turrets.
The loAver part was erected in the 13th cent., the Gothic upper
in 1422-31.
Farther on the Kuuig-Str. descends to the Pegnitz, passing the
Adler-Str. (left; p. 180) and the Kaiser-Str. The Museums-Brucke
(PI. D, 2; 77), rebuilt in 1700, commands a picturesque view of
both banks. The Fleisch-Briicke (PI. D, 2 ; 77), which we see to the
left, was rebuilt in 1596-8 in imitation of the Ponte di Rialto at
Venice. We continue through the short Plobenhof-Str. to the
quaint old Haupt-Marli (V\. D. 2: 77), the centre of traffic on the
Scbald side (p. 166).
Sckoiier Brunnen. NUREMBERG-. 25. Route. I7i
The Gothic *Liebfrauen-Kirche (PI. D 2, //; Catholic since
1816), oil the E. side of the market-place, was erected in 1355-61
and well restored by Essenwein in 1879-81. Over the W. porch,
with its rich sculpturing, on the wall of St. Michael's chapel (1411 ?),
is a curious old clock known as the 'Mannleinlaufen', skilfully re-
constructed in 1506-9 by G. Heuss and Seb. Lindenast, with moving
figures of the seven electors around the Emperor Charles IV. (seen
daily at noon). The clock commemorates the 'Golden Bull' (p. 167).
The Interior (adm., sec p. 1C6) has recentlj' been reilecoratcd. At
the end of the N. aisle is the *Tomb of the Periugsdorfer family by
A. Krafft (1498?), with a relief of the Madonna as Mother of Mercy,
formerly in the Augustinian monastery (p. 175). Adjacent is the *Tucher
Altar, with a winged picture on a gold ground, one of the finest works
of the Nuremberg school (ca. l-MO-50 ; by Hans Peurl?). To the right,
beside the triumphal arch, is the *Tonib of Hans Rebeck (d. 1500), by
A. Kralf't, formerly in the Dominican monastery (p. 175). On the right
and left of the choir are 14th cent, frescoes. Old stained glass in tlie
choir, with the arms of Nuremberg families.
In the square behind the Liebfrauen-Kirche is h quaint fountain-
figure in bronze, by Pankraz Labenwolf (ca. 1550?), called the
''^GCuisemdvnchen (PI. D, 2; //), a peasant carrying a goose under
each arm. Obstmarkt, see p. 178.
In the centre of the Haupt-Markt is a copy (1902) of the Nep-
tune Fountain. The original (by G. Schweigger and C, Ritter),
completed in 1661-9, was never erected in Nuremberg, and having
been sold in 1797 now graces the Peterhof near St. Petersburg.
The Schoner Brunnen (PI. D, 2; 77), on the X. side of the
market-place, erected after 1361 (probably byMeister Heinrich, the
'Parlier'), was restored in 1903 by H. Wallraff and painted accord-
ing to a coloured drawing by G. Pencz (1541). The Gothic pyramid.
60 ft. in height, is adorned with numerous figures. The statues be-
low represent the seven electors and the nine heroes (Charlemagne.
Godfrey de Bouillon, and Clovis, the Christian heroes; Judas Macca-
baeus, Joshua, and David, the Jewish heroes; Caesar, Alexander,
and Hector, the pagan heroes); above are Moses and the seven pro-
phets (originals in the Germanic Museum, p. 183). There are other
seated figures of the Evangelists, church-fathers, etc. The wrought-
iron railing round the fountain is Gothic in its lower part; the
upper part, in the Renaissance style, is a replica of an addition
(now lost) made in 1587 by Paulus Kiihn of Augsburg.
The long house iMeier's) to the N. of the SchiJner Brunnen is
said to date from the 14th century. No. 19, on the W. side of the
Haupt-Markt, was the residence of the humanist Willibahl Firk-
heimer (1470-1530; p. 225). No. 15, adorned with frescoes by Wan-
derer (1886), is the house in which Jlartiit Behaim, the cosmo-
grapher (1459-1507), was born. From 1425 till 1523 the crown-
jewels (p. 167) were exhibited annually in front of this house. The
Belief of the Madonua on No. 11 is attributed to Adam Kraft"t.
172 Route S6. NUREMBERG-. Rathaus.
At the corner of the Haupt-Markt and Waag-Grasse is the new
building of the Haiidels-Vorstand (PI. D, 2; 77), adorned with
frescoes by Gr. Kellner; the council-chamber of the Chamber of
Commerce contains a painting by A. Feuerbach (Emperor Louis the
Bavarian according privileges to the merchants of Nuremberg).
A few yards to the N. lies the Rathaus-Platz (PL D 2, 77; band
on Sun. at noon), with the Rathaus and the Sebaldus-Kirche.
The *Ilathaus (PL D, 2; 77) was originally a Grothic edifice
of 1332-40, but of this only the Saalbau on the 8., with the skil-
fully restored E. gable in the Rathaus-Grasse,* now remains. Hans
Beheim the Elder erected a late -Gothic addition in the rear in
1515; and in 1616-22 the whole structure was practically rebuilt in
the Italian Renaissance style by Jacob Wolf the Younger. The
fagade, 280 ft. in length, has three fine portals with sculptures
by Christoph Jamnitzer. The tasteful bronze fountain in the in-
teresting old court is by Pankraz Labenwolf (1557). In the S.E.
corner of the court, on Beheim's addition, is a fine balustraded gal-
lery, resting upou curious carved brackets. The modern-Gothic
annexe on the E., with a fagade towards the Theresien-Str. (p. 178),
was added by Essenwein in 1884-9. In the small court is a bronze
figure of Apollo, by Hans Yischer (1532).
Interior (adm., see p. 166; entr. opposite St. Sebald'.s ; bell for the
custodian in the entresol, to the right). The chief attraction is the Grosser
8aal, in the entresol, 130 ft. long and 3.5 ft. broad, with its timber roof.
The decoration of this hall, which was restored in 1903, dates from the
16th-17th cent., with tlie exception of two reliefs of 1340 on the E. wall
(Emperor Louis the Bavarian enthroned ; allegory of the commercial
league between Nuremberg and the Flemish cities).* Of the famous mural
paintings executed in 1522 by G. Pencz(?) from Diirer's designs only
those on the N. wall have survived, and these were retouched in 1613, vis.
Triumphal procession of the Emperor Maximilian, Town Pipers, and
Calumny' (after Apelles). Above the door under the first of these is the
motto 'Eins manns red ist ein halbe red, man soil die teyl verhoren bed'
(one man's opinion is but half an opinion; both sides should be heard).
— On the ceiling of the corridor on the second floor is a large relief in
stucco representing a tournament held at Nuremberg in 1446, executed
by Hans and Heinricli. Kuhn in 1621. — The Kleiner Saal has a timber-
ceiling by Hans Wilhelm Beheim (d. 1619), paintings by Wanderey (1901),

of 1622, has (left) a tasteful Renaissance door by Peter Flotner.
Beneath the small court, in the S. part of the building, are the old
Dungeons, of the 14th century. Subterranean Passages lead hence in
various directions ; that leading to the casemates beneath the imperial
■ ■astle was constructed in 1543.
An archway connects the Rathaus with the Stadtisches Amts-

heightened later, and the nave date from this church, which was
in the transitional style. The aisles were enlarged after 1309 in
the Gothic style. The twin towers, completed in the middle of the
14th cent., were raised to their present height in 1482-4. In 1361-79
the church was provided with a Gothic E. choir ('8ebaldus-Chor'),
an imposing erection with aisles and ambulatory. The exterior of
the church, restored in 1888-1904 by G. von Hauberrisser (p. 244)
and J. Schmitz, is distinguished by an unusual wealth of *Sculptures
(partly replaced by copies; original fragments in the X. aisle beneath
the tower and in the upper story of the N. sacristy). Over the S.W.
portal (PI. 1) is the Last Judgment, and at the sides are fine statues

S.E. portal ('Schau-Tilr'; PI. 3) is another Last Judgment, by Yeit
Stoss (after 1485). The 'Schreyer Monument' (PI. 6), on the E. choir,
with reliefs of the Bearing of the Cross, Crucifixion, Entombment,
and Resurrection, is one of the most important works of Adam
Krafft (1492). On the N.E. portal ('Braut-Tiir'; PL 4) appear the
Wise and Foolish Virgins (early 14th cent.); on the X.W. portal
('Anschreibe-Tlir'; PI. 5) are reliefs of the DeatJi, Burial, and Coro-
nation of the Virgin (ca. 1310). On the S. tower, adjoining the main
portal, is a largo statue of St. Christopher (1442).

The Interior (adm., see p. 166) was restored in 1903-6. The W.
Choir contains a Gothic bronze font (PI. 7; ca. 1410?), the oldest example
of the founder's art at Xuremberg. The Loflfelholz Altar (PI. 15), with
carvings (inside, the Martyrdom of St. Catharine) and paintings betraying
Netherlandish influence, dates from 1-453.
On the pillars of the Xave are numerous statues of saints (1st half
of 14th cent.). The Haller Altar (PL 20), by the 2ud pillar on the left,
is an early work by the Master of the TucJier Altar (p. 171). On the
2nd pillar on the right is a Bearing of the Cross (PI. 8) by Adam Kraff't
(1496). The pulpit (PI. 9) is modern. Behind, above the' 'Portal of the
Magi' (PI. 2), is a fine relief of the Madonna (1429), retaining the original
colouring.
East Choir. **St. Sebald's Shrine (Sebaldus-arab ; PI. 10; p. xxiv),
the masterpiece of Peter ViscJier, the celebrated artist in bronze, was
completed by him with the aid of his sons in 1508-19. This is one of
the most important monuments of German art, in which ancient traditional
German ideas are blended with elements suggested by the humanists of
Xuremberg or the Lombard sculptors of the Eenaissance. From a plat-
form borne by twelve snails rises a Gothic canopy surmounted by three
domes and enclosing the Gothic silver sarcophagus (1397; restored in
1506) in which are preserved the relics of the saint. On the base of the
sarcophagus are four ^Reliefs, representing the miracles of St. Sebald
and heads in the antique style; at the W. end is St. Sebald, at the E.
end Peter Vischer with apron and chisel, two beautiful statuettes. The
canopy displays an astonishing wealth of charming Renaissance ornamen-
tation and carving; pagan deities (Jui)iter, Yenus, etc.) and other figures
of classical mythology (Centaurs, Tritons, Xereids, Sirens) appear side by
side with putti playing with lions and dogs and the four Christian car-
dinal virtues (in the centre of the four sides of the base) ; in niches
round the sarcophagus are the twelve *Apostles ; on the top arc statuettes
of prophets of the old dispensation : on the central dome appears the
Infant Christ with the terrestrial globe. — Over the high-altar (PL 16)
is a wooden ^Crucifixion by Veit Stoss (1520). On the pillar to the left
of the altar is a bronze statue of the Madonna (PL 11; by Stejyhau Godl
(ca. 1515). On the 1st X. choir-pillar is a wooden *Statue of the Madonna
(ca. 1450; PL 12), under its original canopy, with well-preserved colouring.
In the Ambulatory are numerous 15th cent, statues of saints, in-
cluding several by Veit Stoss. To the left, below the Mendel window,
is the *Tucher Altar (PL 13), a votive triptych painted in 1513 by Hans-
ron Ktdmhach from drawings h\ Diirer : the central painting, the Virgin
enthroned with SS. Catharine and Barbara and angelic musicians, breathes
quite a Venetian spirit. Farther on, below the Bamberg window, are a
richly sculptured Gothic wall-tabernacle or 'Sakramentshauschen' (p. 170;
PL 14; ca. 1375) and, below the Margrave window (PL 31), three reliefs by
Veit Stoss (1449): Last Supper, Christ on the Mt. of Olives, and the Kiss
of Judas. — The stained-glass Wixdows in the choir are, like those in the
Lorenz-Kirche, among the finest in Germanv. More than half (PL 23-28,
33-35, 38) date from ca. 1360-80, the rest from the end of the 15th and
the beginning of the 16th cent., the latest, the Imhoff window (PL 37),
from 1601. In the centre of the apse is the *Maximilian window (PL 30),
by Veit Hirschvogel (1514), with portraits of Emperor Maximilian, the
donor, his first wife Mary of Burgundy (d. 1482), his son Philip the Fair,
and Joanna of Castile. To the left is the Bamberg window (PL 29), designed
by Wolfgang Katzheimer (1501); to the right are the *Margrave window
(PL 31; designed by Hans von Kulmbach), presented by Margrave Fre-
derick of Ansbach-Bayreuth, and the Pfinzing window (PL 32), both
executed by Veit Hirschvogel (1515); the Volckamer window (PL 36;
ca. 1495) is perhaps an early work of Hirschvogel.
The Sehalder Ffarrhpf (i^nvsoii^ige; PL 1) 2, //;, opposite the
N.W. corner of the church, has a fine Gothic 'ChOrlein' (oriel)
Dilrer's House. NUREMBERG. 25. Route. 175
of ca. 1361, renewed in 1902 by Schmitz (original now in the Ger-
manic Museum, p. 183). The house was once occupied by Melchior
Pfinzing (d. 1535), provost of St. Sebald's and author of the 'Teuer-
dank', an allegorical narrative of the wooing of Mary of Burgundy
by Emperor Maximilian I. — Opposite St. Sebald's, on the X., is
the Gothic St. Moritz-Kapelle (PI. D, 2; //), built in 1313 and
recently restored by Jos. Schmitz. On tlie X. side is the Brativiirsf-
Glocklein (p. 164), mentioned as early as 1519.
To the S.W. of St. Sebald's, Winkler-Str. 29, is Palm's House
(PI. 3, D 2; //), with inscription signifying 'Here dwelt John Palm,
bookseller, who fell a victim to the tyranny of Napoleon in 1806'.
Palm was shot at Braunau I'p. 345; on Aug. 26th, I8O6. Oppositf,
over the gateway of the Stadt-Wage (built by H. Beheim the Elder
in 1497), is a quaint -Relief by Adam Krafft (1497), who executed
also the Annunciation (1504) on No. 24. Both these works are
copies, the originals being in the Germanic Museum. Adjoining
l^ilm's house, at the corner of the Augustiner-Str., on the site of
an Augustinian monastery i'p. 181), stand the Law Courts (Justiz-
Palast; PL D 2, //), erected by Solger in 1877. Lower down
(Winkler-Str. 20) is the house in which Diirer was born. Nos. 5
and 1 have tasteful courtyards (1496 and 1516).
We now cross the Weinmarkt iPl. D, 2; //), to the W. of St. Se-
bald's, noting the fine statues of the Madonna on Nos. 12a and 12,
and enter the Albrecbt-Di\rer-Str. to the N. No. 39 in this street,
near the Tiergartner-Tor (p. 186), is Dlirer's House (PI. D, 2 ; // ),
a Gothic frame-buildiug (15th cent.), now the property of the city.
It contains antique furniture and utensils and numerous copies of
Diirer's paintings. Adni., see p. 165. — AVe return S.E. to the Rat-
haus via the Berg-Str. and the Albrecht-Diirer-Platz (PI. D, 2; //),
in which is Ranch's Statue of Diirer (1840).
0n the right side (No. 4) of the Burg-Strasse, at the corner of the
Theresien-Str. (p. 178), is the old Dominican Monastery, contain-
ing the j\[anicipal Archives on the ground-floor. The upper floor
contains the Municipal Library (PL D 2, //; adni., see p. I661,
founded in 1538, with 108,000 vols., 2000 MSS. lincl. a missal
with fine miniatures by the brothers Glockendon), and 2000 incuna-
bula (incl. the Rationale of Durandus, printed by Fust at Mayence
in 1469); also autographs of Luther, Melauchthon, Ulrich von
Hutten, and Hans Sachs. — No. 15 (left) is the Fembo-Haus, a late-
Renaissance edifice of the early 17th cent., with a large gable.
No. 21 was Wohlyemufs House (p. 168); No. 10, SchenrVs House
(1482; p. 167), has a room with fine Gothic panelling.
The Burg-Str. ends on the S. slope of the Burgberg, or castle-
hill (1150 ft.; PL D 2, 77), a sandstone rock on the N. side of the
old town, on which §tand the imperial castle, the remains of the
176 Route 25. NUREMBERG. Burgberg.
small burgrave's castle (p. 167), destroyed by fire in 1420, and two
municipal edifices. Since 1866 the castle bas been the common prop-
erty of tbe AVittelbacbs and Hobenzollern. Two routes lead to the
top: the 'Himmels-Weg' (PL 15), to the left, leads via the Himmels-
Tor (PI. 14) and the Hasenburg (PI. llj, a square tower on the left,
direct to the forecourt of the Kaiserburg; the path straight on,
with a view of the stables, leads to the Burggrafenburg.
Of the Burggrafenburg, or burgrave's castle, the only remains
are the Pentagonal Toicer ('Alt-Niirnberg'; PI. 10), the oldest
building in the town (11th cent.; upper parts of the 14th or
15th cent.); the St. Ottmars or Walpurgis Chapel (PI. 21), a
Romanesque structure rebuilt after a fire in 1420; and the Amt-
manns-Wolinung (PI. 6), probably erected as early as 1273 as a
guard for the Kaiserbiu-g. The tower contains a torture-chamber
(adm. 30 pf.) with a copy of the 'Iron Maiden', a hollow figure with
iron spikes into which the victim was thrust, and other instruments
of torture. From beside the tower we command a view of the moat
and the N. suburbs. On the parapet are hoof-marks, said to have
been left by the horse of the robber-knight Eppelein von G-ailingen.
— "We pass through the Vestner-Tor, to the left of the Amtmanns-
Wohnung, to the Freiung (PI. 9), so called from the right of asylum
exercised by the burgraves. Gfood view of the old town. — We
now pass through another gateway, to the right of which is the
round Sinwell or Vestner Tumi (PI. 19), with a roof dating from
1561 (view from the top; gratuity 10 pf.), and enter the Yorhof,
or forecourt, with the Tiefer Brunnen (PI. 20), a well 340 ft.
deep (adm., incl. illumination, 10 pf,). Passing the Heiden-Turm
(see below) on the left, we reach the Inneres Burg-Tor, a Renais-
sance gateway of 1562, through which we enter.
The Kaiserburg, or imperial castle (PI. 17; adm., see p. 166;
ring), was founded probably in the 11th cent., enlarged by Frederick
Barbavossa in the 12th, and modernized in the 19th.
In the Inner Court (PI. 16), altered in 1833 by Heideloff, is the stump
of a lime-tree, said to have been planted by "the Empress Kunigunde
(d. 1038). In the old Palas the only points of interest are the chapel,
with its choir built into the Heiden-Turm (PI. 12), and the royal apart-
ments. The Chax^el (PI. 8) is a double Romanesque structure of the
12th cent. ; above is the Kaiser-Kapelle, with sculptures and paintings,
below is the St. Margareten-Kapelle, probably used originally as a burial-
vault. The Royal Apartments, fitted up in a modern Gothic style in
1854-6, contain several Renaissance stoves. The ceiling of the audience-
chamber, painted in 1520 by Hans Springinklee, a pupil of Diirer, shows
coats-of-arms with the motto of Charles Y. ; on the timber ceiling of the
study (late 14th cent.) appears the imperial eagle. — The modern Roman-
esque balcony of the W. Wing (erected in 1861-6 on the site of the 'Keme-
nate') affords' a splendid view. — The gardens on the W. side of the Kaiser-
burg, said to have been laid out in 1487, are open to the public (comp. PL 7).
Xext the Pentagonal Tower (see above), on the right, is the old
granary, built by Hans Beh^im the Elder in 1494-5, now the Kaiser-
Egidien-Kirche. NUREMBEKGf. 25. Roide. 177

four corners, erected in 1377.
b. The E. Part of the Old Town.
In the Paniers-Platz (PI. E, 2; //), a few paces to the E. of
the castle-hill, rises the Topler-Haiis (PI. 5; D, 2), aKenaissance
edifice of 1590-97. No. 9, close by, has a Gothic tower with a spiral
staircase; Xo. 20 is a Gothic frame-house. — Xo. 23, Schild-Gasse,
farther down, is the Hans zum Goldenen Schilde (PI. D, 2; //;,
where the first twenty -three articles of the Golden Bull ip. 167)
were composed in 1356.
Turning to the jSr.E. out of the Paniers-Platz, we pass the former
Max-Tor (PI. E, 2 ; II) and the Siehen Zeilen (PI. E, 2 ; //), seven
rows of weavers' houses, erected in 1488 on the site of the old
town-moat. In the Hirschel-Gasse (PI. E, 2 ; //), on the left (Xo. 11),
is the Tvcher Lcmdhaus, erected in 1533-44 and tastefully restored
by Gabr. von Seidl, with an interesting conrt (entr. at Xo. 9; gratu-
ity). The Hh'schvogel House (PI. E, 2 ; //), Xo. 21, farther on, since
] 905 the property of the town, contains at the back a hall in the
pure early -Renaissance style bv P. FlOtner C1534; open 9-12 and
3-7, Snn. 9-12; 20pf.).
Retracing our steps, we cross the AVebers-Platz to the Landaiier
Biuder-Klosfer(JPl.Y^,2; II), now a Real-Gymnasium (boys' school).
The pretty vaulting of the late-Gothic chapel (1506 ; entr. at Vordere
Landaner Gasse 8 ; gratuity) is borne by two twisted columns. For
this chapel Diirer painted in 1511 his celebrated All Saints altar-
piecCj now at Vienna. — A few paces lower down is the Laufer-
scMag-Tiirm (PI. E, 2; //), a remnant of the town-wall (p. 186\ re-
constructed in 1508 and 1561.
In the Egtdien-Platz (PL E, 2; //), to the \V. of the Landauer
Kloster, rises the Protestant Egidien-Kirche (adm., see p. 166\
originally a Romanesque basilica belonging to the Schotten-Kloster,
the oldest monastery in the town. The church was burned down in
1696 and rebuilt in 1711-18 by J. Trost.
Three chapels dating from the original church have heen preserved :
the Gothic Tctzcl-Kapelle (13-15), containing numerous hatchments of the
Tetzel family and the tomb (injured in the fire) of the Landauer family,
by Adam Krafft (1501), and adorned on the exterior with a statue of the
Virgin, perhaps an early work by Adam Krafft (9): the Romanesque
Eucharius-Kapelle (12th-l'3tli cent.); and the Gothic Wolfgangs-Kapelle,
with a large group of the Entombment (1116).
The church is peculiar in having an oval nave. The decoration
illustrates the transition from the baroque to the rococo stylo. The Pieta
on the high-altar is a studio -copy of Van Dyck's painting in the Old
Pinakothek at Munich. To the left', behind the" high-altar, is the Renais-
sance brass of the Eisen family, with a Pieta in relief, by the two Peter
Visclters (1522).

On the N. side of the square stands a bronze equestrian statue of
Emperor William /., by Riimann (1905). Behind it is the *Peller-
Haus (IsTo. 23; PI. E 2, //), now the property of Eysser, the art-
dealer (p. 165), erected in 1605 by Jakob Wolf the Elder. It is the
finest late-Renaissance building in Nuremberg, and has a beautiful
court with arcades in three stories (gratuity). No. 13, on the AV.
side of the square, was the house of the printer Anton Koberger
(ca. 1440-1513). Opposite is a statue oi Melanchthon , by J. D.
Burgschmiet (1826), in front of the Gymnasium organized bv him
in 1526.
Adjacent on the S.W. is the little Thekesiex-Platz (PL E, 2; //),
with a bronze statue of Martin Behaim (p. 171), by Rossner (1890).
Thence the Binder-Gasse and Theresien-Str. lead W. to the Rathaus
(p. 172). Binder-Gasse 20 and Theresien-Str. 23 are adorned
with *Reliefs by A. Krafft (Joshua and Caleb, St. George and the
Dragon). KrajfVs House (PL D, 2; //), Theresien-Str. 7, probably
erected by Hans Beheini the Elder about 1510, has a fine two-storied
court. ~ Adam Krafft's statue of the Virgin at Binder-Gasse 1,
corner of the Fiinfer-Platz, and the statue of the Madonna at Obst-
markt 16 have been disfigured by painting. In the Obstmarkt, at
the corner of the Stadtisches Amts-Gebaude ('p. 172), is a fine statue
of St. Helena (15th cent.).
The Tuchek-Strasse(P1.E, 2; //), to the E. of the Obstmarkt,
possesses three of the finest courtyards in Nuremberg, at Nos. 15, 20
('Historischer Hof), and 21. At the corner of this street and the
Neue Gasse is the Grilhel Fountain (PL E, 2; //), by Wandei-er
(1881;, commemorating Konrad Grubel (1736-1809), a popular pot-t
of Nuremberg. At the corner of the Ebners- Gasse and the Hen-
Gasschen, near the AV. end of the Neue Gasse, is the bronze Bag-
piper Fountain (PL E, 2; 77) , a copy of a Renaissance model in
the Germanic Museum.
The Spital-Platz (Pl.E, 2; 77) is adorned with a bronze statue
oiHans Sachs (1494-1576), by J. K. Krausser (1874). Hans Sachs
lived at No. 17 in the adjacent Hans-Sachs-Gasse (V\. 2), now partly
restored to its original condition; the landlord of the tavern 'Zuin
giildenen Baren' shows the cobbler-poet's workshop.
On the S. side of the Spital-Platz stands the Protestant Heilig-
geist-Kirche (PL E 2, 77; adni., see p. 166), a Gothic churcli
(1331-41) belonging to the neighbouring hospital, and formerly the
depository of the imperial regalia (p. 167). The interior was remod-
elled in the baroque style in 1663. The aisles are adorned witli
frescoes of the 14th-15th centuries. On the high-altar (1912) is a
fine crucifix in the style of Veit Stoss; in front of it is the tomb
of Konrad Gross (d. 1356), founder of the hospital. At the E. end
of the N. aisle is the altar-tomb of Herdegen Yalzner (d. 1418).
The marble pulpit is by Heilmaier (1912;. — In the forecourt (entr.

the Catholic Elisabeth- Kir che, built in 1785-1802 by the knights
of the Teutonic Order in a classical style, and restored in 1903
(sacristan, Eugelhards-Classe 8). Adjoining it is the old Deutsches
Haus, now the head-quarters of the commanding general. In the
middle of the square rises the —
St. Jakobs-Kirche (PI. C, D, 3, //; Protestant), founded in
1209 as the church of the Teutonic Order. The present building,
dating from ca. 1350, was restored by Heideloff in 1825.
The Ikterior (adm., see p. 166) contains many fine .sculptures in wood
and stone (14t[i-16th cent.). To the right and left of the W. portal are
the Virgin and St. John, figures from a group of the Crucifixion in the
style of Veit Stoss. — In the X. aisle is a Pieta (Virgin with the body
of Christ and St. John) by Veit Stoss, to whom also is ascribed the
group of St. Anna, the Virgin, and Child, on a winged altar in the
Dillherr Chapel. This aisle contains also remains of frescoes (1510) and
a famous *Pieta (the Virgin kneeling before the body of Christ), closely
allied in style to the Nuremberg Madonna (p. 183). — In the S. aisle,
■ opposite the second Pieta, is a small statue of the Virgin by Veit Stoss,
who executed also the relief of the Last Judgment in the Egloffstein
Chapel. — The fine choir contains many hatchments of Teutonic knights
and good statues of saints (14th cent.). The Gothic high-altar (ca. 1400)
has wing-paintings (retouched) and four admirable figures of Apostles in
terracotta (six others of the series in the Germanic Museum, see p. 183).
From the Jakobs-Platz we may follow the Jakob-Str. E. to the
Kornmarkt and Hall-Platz (PL D, 3; //), to the left of which,
along the inner town-wall, are a row of Corn Magazines, now used
by the hop-merchauts, with a portal of 1588 at the E. end. From
the Kornmarkt the Vordere Kartauser-Classe leads S. to the G-er-
mauic Museum (p. 181).
We turn to the 'N. from the Jakobs-Kirche and follow the
Weizen-Str. (Pi. C, D, 3; //) past the Weizen-Gebdude, a large
baroque building of 1672 (now municipal offices), to the Unschlitt-
Platz (PL D, 2; //), with the old Unschlitt-Haus (1491), originally
a granary, now a pawn-broking office.
Superb *Views of the town (particularly iine by moonlight) are
afforded by the four lower Bridges over the Pegnitz (PLD, 2;
11): the Max-Briicke, rebuilt in 1852-3 by B. Solger; the Kettensteg
(1824), the first suspension-bridge in Germany, adjoining the present
town-wall (p. 186); the iron Henkersteg ; and the Derrer-Brilcke
(1486), between the Trodelmarkt island and the Karl-Str. — In the
court of No. 23, Karl-Str. (PLD, 2; //), are realistic carvings in
the style of Hans Sebald Beham (p. 168), representing a village
church -festival, etc. — In the gardens of the Maximilian -Platz
(PL D, 2; //) is the Triton Fountain, by Bromig (1687).
In the Adler-Strasse (PL D, 3; II) the rococo facade of No. 21
should be noticed. In the Grothic court of No. 19 is a small relief
(Adoration of the Child) by Adam Krafft (1498); on No. 28 is a
statue of the Madonna (14th cent,).

The **Germanic JSTational Museum fPl. D, 3, //; adm.,
see p. 165), an institution founded in 1852 by Baron Hans von
Aufsess for the illustration of German historical research, consists
of collections bearing on the history of art and civilization (entr.
Vordere Kartauser-Gasse 7), a library, archives, and a cabinet oi
engravings (entr. Untere Grasers-Gasse 18;. Since 1857 it has been
established in a suppressed Carthusian monastery, a Gothic struc-
ture founded in 1380 and enlarged in the 15th cent., with a church
and two cloistered courts. The building has been repeatedly extended
by A. von Essenwein (1866-92; andDr.vonEezold, the present direc-
tor. On the S. side, facing the Frauentor-Maucr, is the Augustinian
monastery (p. 175), rebuilt here in 1872-5; adjoining it is the S.AV.
wing, completed in 1902; and a further addition is being erected on
the N". side. Owing to the munificence of private donors the museum
has become one of the finest in Germany. The objects of general
interest are open to the public, while others are reserved for the
use of students (adm. on application to the directors of the various
sections). The rooms on the ground-floor (stone floors) are very cold
and for the most part badly lighted. In addition to the excellent

e. The Town Walls and Outer Quarters.
' The *Towii Walls, built in 1345-1452 and greatly strength-
ened in the 16th- 17lh cent., form one of the most interesting
features of the town; though they have unfortunately been removed
at places to meet the requirements of modern traffic, they still bear
testimony to the military strength of the old city.
The earliest fortifications consisted of a double wall 23 ft. in height
and 55 ft. broad, with a protected passage and square towers placed at
intervals of .50 yds. Outside was a dry moat, 30 ft. deep and 90 ft.
broad. The four main gates (^Frauen-Tor , PI. E 3, //; Spittler Tor,
PI. C 3, II: Xen-Tor, PI. D 2, //; and the razed Lanfer-Tor. PI. E, F,
2, //; were defended l)v strong outworks. Of the four smaller gates
(Haller Tor, PI. D 2. //.• Tiergdrtner Tor. PI. D 2. //; Vestuer Tor,
PI. D 2. //; and the razed Wohrd^r Tor, PL E F 2. II) the second alone
belongs to the older fortifications compleleil in 1332. When gunpowder
became a feature of warfare, tlie wall was reinforced by smaller forts
and by round forts with cannon (•Streichwehre'), especially in the Yest-
nertor-Clraben and at the points where the Pegnitz entered and quitted
the town. These additions were made in conformity witli the theory
of fortification propounded by Diirer. In 1538-45 Antonio Fazuni of
Malta erected the great polygonal Bnrgbastei between the Tiergartner
Tor and the Yestner Tor, with casemated side-bastions. In 1556-64 the
four main towers received their present circular shape (walls 19 ft.
thick) from the designs of Oeorg Unger. Tlie works constructed shortly
before and during- the Thirtv Years' War liave vanished. — The most

picturesque portion of the fortifications is on the \V. side, between tlie
Spittler Tor (PI. C, 3; II) and the site of the Max-Tor (PI. E, 2; //),
and near tlic Wohrdcr Tor (PI. E, F, 2; II). The protected passage
('Wchrf^ang') on the inside of the wall is well seen at the Ludwigs-Tor
(PI. C, 3;//) and the Neu-Tor (PI. D, 2; 77). — A good idea of the
whole fortifications is afforded by a circular trip on the tramway-line

In the Fraueutor-Graben, between the Frauen-Tor and Spittler
Tor, and opposite the Germanic Museum, is the Neues Stadi-
Theater (PI. D, 3; 77), built by Seeling in 1902-5. A little W. is
the building of the Industrie' nnd KHltar-Vereia (PI. D 3, 77;

lanehthon-Platz (PI. C, D, 4, 5; 7), to the S., beyond the railway, is
a monumental Fountain by Kittler (1908).
In the Plarrer (PL C, 3; 77), between the Spittler Tor and the
Ludwigs-Bahnhof, another monumental Fountain (1890j commem-
orates the opening of the first German railway (p. 166). — In the
Rothenburger Str., S.W. of the Plarrer, is the old St. Rochus-
Kirchhof (PI. B, 3; 7), with the grave of Peter Vischerthe Elder
(d. 1529) and his sons Hermann and Peter (No. 90, "ninth stone

])y Paul Beheim, contains stained glass from the w^orkshop of Veit
Ilirschvogel, resembling Diirer's work. — A little to the S.W. is
the Harhonr of the Ludwigs-Kanal (p. 146), 370 yds. long.
To the AV. of the Spittlertor-Graben lies the Rosenau (PI. C,
3; 77), a pleasure-resort (p. 164). — In the Prater-Anlagc (PL C,

Outside the Xen-Tor, in the Johaxxis-Strassk (tramway Xo. 6,
see p. 165), which leads to the Johannis-Kirciihof (see below), is the
simple Heiluikreuz-Kapelle (PL C 2, 77; Xo. 24, on the right:
gratuity), containing numerous hatchments of the Haller family and
a large altar from Wohlgemut's workshop, with a group of the
Descent from the Cross and painted double wings.
In the Burgschmiet-Str., which runs from the Ticrgartner Tor
(p. 186) to the Johannis-Friedhof, stands on the right the Lenz
Bronze Foundry (formerly Buryschniief : PL I) 2, 77), with a
collection of models (visitors admitted). — In the Burgschmiet-Str.
and the Johaunis-Str.. farther on, are Adam Kraff't's Stations of
the Cross, seven sandstone pillars (1505-6) with reliefs of the
Passion. The Kalvarienberg, the last station, is inside the Johannis-
Kirchhof. Six of the stations have been replaced by copies by Georg
Leistner; the originals are now in the Germanic Museum (p. 182 1.
The Johannis-Kirchhof (PL B, C, 1, 2; 7), laid out in 1518
and containing fine brasses, is well worth a visit (the daughter of

of Diirer (Xo. 6iy, the 11th stone to the left of the path): 'Quicquid
Alberti Dureri mortale fnit, sub hoc conditur tumulo ; emigravit YIII Idus
Aprilis MDXXYIII' (April 6th, 1528). About 50 paces S. is the tomb
(Xo. 503) of the confectioner Hans Sachs and his descendants, perhaps
including the poet Hans Sachs (p. 178). A few paces to the right
(X.E.) of Diirer's grave is that of Wenzel Jamnitzer (p. 168: Xo. 664,
in the 5th row), with a fine epitaph by Jost Amman. In the row in
front lie the painter Ansehn Feuerbach (d. 1880 ; Xo. 715) and A. von
Essenwein (p. 181 ; Xo. 720). Eight rows to the W. of Diirer, in the
direction of the Johannis-Kirche, rests Veil Stoss (p. 167; Xo. 268),
and farther on lies the popular poet Griihel (p. 178; Xo. 20t)). Four rows
to the X.W. , opposite the Johannis-Kirclie, is Paumgdrtner' s grave
(d. 1679). with a large bronze skull (movable jaw). In the second row
farther X.W., on the paved side-walk, a little to the right of the church,

(p. 217), on the ancient road between Augsbur','' and AVtirxburg,
Dinkelsbiihl, with its excellently preserved walls and towers of the
15th cent., its moats, and its gabled houses, affords an unusually

proceed to the right, enjoying a good view of the town, cross the
AVOrnitz, and pass through the Wonn'fz-Tor (PI. 0, 2) to the market-

Gothic -^Georgs-Kh-che (PI. B, 2), built "in 1448-92, is the finest
church of its type in 8. Germany. The lower part of the tower
(190 ft. high) is Romanesque (13th cent.) and has a pretty portal.
In the interior are a 'Sakramentshauschen' (p. 170) of 1498 and two
old carved altars. The tower affords a fine view (key at the verger's,
llintere Priester-Gasse 5). On the W. side of the AVeinmarkt is the
Deutsches Haus (PI. B, 2), a fine frame-house of the 17th cent., now

Augsburg (1625 ft.), with 1 50,000 iuhab. (one-third Protestants),
situated at the confluence of the Wertach and the Lech, is one of
the most important towns in 8. Germany. Ehthorate Renaissance
structures give the town its chief architectural stamp and recall its
former greatness. Its beautiful fountains are celebrated, and some
of the gates of the old rorti(ie,iti(.us :ir.' still i-xtant (see ji|i. 107.-2(M 1.
196 iioHte 27. AUGSBURG. Historii.
Outside the gates are important cotton spinning and weaving mills
and macMne-works.
Augusta Vindelicoruin was founded about 15 B.C., probably as a
'forum' (market), and was raised by Hadrian about 122 A.D. to the rank of a
'municipium'. Even in the Eoman period it was an important trading-place.
St. Ulrich (923-972) was the chief of the early bishops and distinguished
himself in the defence of the town against tlie Hungarians, who were
routed on the Lechfeld (p. 309~i in 9.55. From 1268 Augsburg was a free
imperial city and the great centre of traffic between N. Europe, Italy,
and the Levant. It readied the height of its prosperity in the 15th and
16th cent., and several of its citizens enjoyed princely wealth and power.
Three daughters of Augsburgers were married to princes: Clara von
Detten to Elector Frederick the Victorious of the Palatinate; Agnes
Bernaucr, the beautiful daughter of a barber, to Duke Albert III. of
Bavaria (p. 3-48); and PMHppine M^elser (p. 199) to Archduke Ferdinand
of Austria. Bartliolomdus Welser, uncle of Philippine, fitted out a
sq^uadron to take j)ossession of Yenezuela, which had been assigned
to him as a pledge, by Emperor Charles Y. The Fuggcr family raised
themselves within a century from the condition of poor weavers to that
of the wealthiest merchants in Europe. The chief members of the family
were Jalcoh Fugger II. (1459-1525), 'the Rich', founder of the Fuggerei
(p. 197), and his nephew Anton Fugger (1495-1560); they frequently
replenished the exhausted coffers of the emperors Maximilian I. and
Charles V. At Augsburg Charles V. held the diet of 1530, at which the
Protestant princes presented to the emperor and the estates the Augs-
burg Confession, a reformed creed framed by Melanchthon. The delivery
of the Confession took place in a hall of the episcopal palace (now
government offices, p. 198). The diet of 1555, by which a religions peace
was concluded, was also held here by the emperor's brother Ferdinand,
acting as his representative. Augsburg art reached its highest point at
the beginning of the 16th cent., at which period fl'a».S' Holbein the Elder
and Hans Burgkmair flourished here (comp. p. xxii). At the same time
industrial art, especially goldsmith's work, attained a high level. A
distinguished archaeologist was Conrad Peutinger (1465-1567), the town-
clerk and confidant of Emperor Maximilian I., after whom the Tabula
Peutingeriana in the imperial library at Vienna is erroneously named.
The chief Augsburg architect was Elias Holl (1573-1616), the builder of
the Ilathaus. A revival of Augsburg art took place after the Thirty
Years' War, especially in the 18th century. The abundant water-power
aiforded by the canals traversing the town has favoured its industrial
development. Augsburg fell to Bavaria in 1806. In 1871 it had a popii-
lation of 51,200.
From the Haupt-Bahnliof (PL A, 4) we follow the Bahnhof-Str.
to the Koxigs-Platz (PL B, 4), and thence the new Biirgermeister-
Fischer-Str. to the Moritz-Platz (PL 0, 4). The latter is skirted
by the IMaximiliax-Strasse (PL C, 4, 5), which together with its X.
prolongation the Karolinen-Str. (p. 197), forms the chief arteiT of
traffic in Augsburg. At the corner to the right is the >S'^ Moritz-
Kirche (PL C, 4), a church of the 15th cent., decorated in the bar-
oque style in 1714 and containing interesting tombstones. In the
JMaximilian-Str., in front of the church, is the Mercury Fountain
(PI. 4; C, 4), by Adrian de Tries (1599).
At the ]S^. end of the Maximilian-Str. is the Ludwigs-Platz (PL C,
3, 4), usually called 'Am Perlach' or 'Eiermarkt', the busiest part
of the city. In the centre rises the "^^ Augustus Fountain (PI 1 ; C, 3),
Cathedral. AUGSBURG. 27. Route. 197
with a bronze statue of the oiiperor, who founded the city, executed
by the Dutch master Hubert Gerhard in 1589-94. On the left is
the Exchange.
The Rathaus (PI. C, 4), on the right side of the Ludwigs-Platz,
a handsome Renaissance edifice with no exterior ornamentation,
was erected in 1615-20 by Elias Holl. On the gable iiv front is a
large pine-cone in bronze, the heraldic emblem of the city. The
lower vestibule contains an eagle (1606) and busts of Roman em-
perors. Visitors are admitted ^tickets on the right) on week-days
8-12 and 1-6 (Oct.-March 9-12 and 1-5), Sun. and holidays 10-12
and 2-5; for 1 or 2 pers. 50 pf., for more than 2 pers. 25 pf. each,
free on the 1st Sun. in the month 10-12. An anteroom on the first
floor, borne by eight columns of red marble, has a fine wooden ceiling
and a statue of Chr. von Schmid (d. 1854; p. 193). On the second
floor is the '^Goldener Saal, 110 by 55 ft., and 45 ft. in height,
one of the finest halls in Germany, with baroque decoration recall-
ing the Doges' palace at Vmce and with mural and ceiling paint-
ings after Peter Candid. The four adjoining Filrsten-Zimmer also
have fine wooden ceilings, panelling, and stoves (ca. 1624i.
To the IS", of the Rathaus, adjoining the Petei\s-Kirche^ rises
the Perlach-Turm (PI. C, 3; 255 ft. high), originally a watch-tower,
heightened and converted into a belfry by E. Holl in 1615, and
now a fire-station ; it is adorned with a large fresco, Hadrian enteiing
Augsburg (comp. p. 196), bv A. Brandes (1912); fine view from the
top (entr. at the N.W. angle; 10 pf.). -^ To the E. of the Perlach-
Turm is the Metzg-Platz , with the Metzcj (PI. C, 3), or butchers'
house, erected in 1609 by Holl. Farther E. rises the Protestant
Barfiisser-Kirehe (PL 0, 3), remodelled ca. 1398 and 1723. It
contains pictures by S.German masters of the 17th-18th cent, and
an excellent organ. — The Jakober-Strasse, the E. continuation of
the Barflisser-Gasse, is an admirable example of a niediteval street.
It ends at the Jakober-Tor (PI. E, 3; 14th cent.). To the right,
half-way, is the entrance to the Faggerei (PI. D, 4), a quarter founded
by Jakob Fugger (p. 196) in 1519, closed by its own gates, and
consisting of fifty-three small houses for indigent citizens. The
iSt. Jakohs-Kirche (PI. D, 3) contains an Annunciation by a S. German
master (early 16th cent.) and a wall-painting of 1469 in the choir.
From the Ludwigs-Platz (p. 196) the Karolinen-Str. (comp.
p. 196) leads N. to the Kauolixen-Platz (PL C, 3, 2). On the E. is
the Bis1iop\'i Palace. On the W. rises the Cathedral \Doni :
PL B, C, 2, 3), an irregular pile, originally a Romanesque basilica
with two choirs, a W. transept, and two E. towers, begun in 995
and consecrated in 1065. In 1321-1431 it was altered to a Gothic
church with double aisles, the E. choir with its radiating chapels
being added at the same period. The curious bronze doors of the
S. transept contain representations of Adam and Eve, the serpent,

centaurs, lions, etc., in thirty-five sections (lltli cent.). The N.
and S. portals of the E. choir have 14th cent, sculptures.
Interior. The nave has low cross-vaulting, borne by square pillars :
fine brass candelabrum of ca. 1500. The aisles are separated by slender
columns with foliage-capitals. The W. choir contains an episcopal throne
in marble, resting on two lions (12th cent.), and a Gothic reredos of
brass (1447). Fine stained glass, ancient and modern; tlie S. windows
of the nave (11th cent.) are among the oldest in existence. The *Altar-
pieces of the first four side-altars are by Holbein the Elder (149o ; scenes
from the life of the Virgin); those of the other four belong to the School
of Zeitblom. The pulpit and the high-altar in the E. choir are modern
and richly carved in the Gothic style. In the ambulatory, in the Wolf-
gangs-Kapelle (1st on the left), is a fine altar by Christoph Amberger
(Madonna and Child and angels,' with SS. Ulrich and Afra on the wings;
1554). In the next chapel but one is the fine tomb of Bishop Friedrich
von Zollern ^d- ISOS"!. in red marble, by Hans BHuerlein of Augsburg.
The choir -chapels, containing many tombs of bishops, are separated
from the choir by tasteful iron screens. — The fine late-Gothic cloisters
(1479-1510) on the X. side contain tombstones dating from 1285 to 1805
(entr. through house D 110, by the N. portal: ,gi-atuit>- to the verger).
To the W. of the cathedral, in the Frouhof, with its war monument
for 1870-71, are the Government Offices (Regierungs-Gebiiude;
PI. B, 2, 3 1, on the site of the old episcopal palace (p. 196). — To
the W. of the Fronhof stand the two Heilighreuz-Kirchen (PI. A, B, 3),
one Catholic, the other Protestant. The Catholic church, dating
from 1502, but remodelled in the baroque style in 1716-19, contains
(at a side-altar on the left) an Assumption by Rubens (studio-piece;
ca. 16-25). — A little S.E., in the old Von Stetten house (Obst-
markt B 70), are the Katnral History Colleciions (PI. B, 3), the
first floor containing those of palaeontology, mineralogy, ethnology,
and botany, while the second floor is devoted to zoology. The
collections are open 10-1 and 2-5, < )ct.-March 10-12 and 2-4 (closed

Ill front of the niiiscuni is the statue of Hans Jakob Fugyer
(1516-75), erected in 1857 by Louis I. after a design by Brugger.
Opposite, No. D 29, is the house in which Philippine Welser ip. 196 ;
born in 1527, probably at the Schazbu*-Palais, p. 201) spent her
childhood. It is occupied by the Deutsche Bank (PI. 8; C, 4).
We cross the St. Anna-Platz, with the Goldschmied-Brunnen
(PI. 7, B 4; 1912), to the Protestant St. Anna-Kirche (PI. B, 4),
founded in 1321 and altered in the late-Gothic style in 1487-97.
The central part was rebuilt in the Renaissance style by J]. Holl,
who also completed the tower. The church belonged tothe Carmelite
monastery of which Luther was an inmate in 1518, when he refuserl
to recant at the summons of the papal legate Cajetan.
Interior (verger St. Anna-Platz D 227, gratuity). The nave contains
a fine pulpit of 1682. In the Gothic E. choir are some paintings : altar-
piece (Jesus receiving little children), and portraits of Lutlier and Elector
John Frederick of Saxony, by L. Crcuwch the Younger: to the right of
the altar, the Wise and Foolish Virgins, by Amberger (1560); Feeding
of the four tliousand, by Bottenhammer ; Christ in Hades, by Biirgkmair
the Younger (1534). To the left of the altar is a fine limestone relief
of the Raising of Lazarus (16th cent.). — At the W. end is the burial-
chapel of the Fugger family, the earliest Renaissance monument in
Germany, built by Jakob Fugger the Rich (p. 196) in 1509-12, in a Venetian
style. Tlie elaborate decoration of the chapel has mostly disappeared.
The large stone reliefs behind its high-altar (Samson and the Philistines.
Resurrection) are after Diirer. Fine double organ of 1512; the paintings on
the wings of the large organ are perhaps by Burgkmair the Younger. —
On the left of the E. choir is the Goldsmiths' Chapel, built in 1425 and
enlarged in 1496, with frescoes of the 15th-16tli centuries. — Numerous
tombstones in the cloisters.
We return S.E. to the Moritz-Platz and follow the M.\ximiliax-
Stkasse (p. 196) to the right. A few paces farther on, to the right,
is the Fugger-Haus (PI. C, 4), the town-house of Prince Fugger
von Babenhauseu, adorned with frescoes by F. Wagner in 1860-63.
The adpiuing Hotel Drei Jfohren (p. 195">. with a fagade of 1722,

We return through the Katharinen-Gasse E. to the ]Maximiliau-
8tr. (p. 199). At the corner on the right, No. B 16, is the Schazler-
Palais (PI. C, 5; comp. p. 199), with a fine rococo hall of 1770
(shown by the porter; gratuity). In front is the Hercules Fountain
(PI. 3; C, 5), by Adrian de Vries (1602).
At the S. end of the Maxiniilian-Str. are the two St. Ulrichs-
Kirchen (PI. C, 5, 6), one Protestant, the other, the old collegiate
church of */S'/. Ulrich and St. Afra, Catholic. The lofty nave of
the latter was erected in 1467-99 by Burkard Engelberger, and in
1500 the foundation-stone of the choir was laid by Emperor Maxi-
milian I. The pentagonal porch of tlie N. portal was added in
1881. The tower (270 ft.), completed in l")9-4:, commands a fine
view, but the ascent is disagreeable and not recommended for ladies
(entr. in thePeter-Kotzer-Gasse; ticket, 20 pf.. at the shop opposite.
No. A 234).
Interior (always open). The nave and aisles are separated from tlie
vestibule by an elaborate iron screen of 1712, which produces a striking
effect of perspective.. The Fugger Chapel, between the 2nd and 3rd pillars
on the left, with its fine iron railing of 1588, contains the *Tomb of Hans
Fugger (1598), a marble sarcophagus with recumbent figure by A. Colin
of Malines, transferred from Schloss Kirchheim in 1877 ; also an altar with
fine carvings (16th cent.). In the Chapel of St. Bartholomew (left aisle)
is a Roman sarcophagus, said to be that of St. Afra. In the nave is a
Crucifixion in bronze, by Reichel and Xeidhardt (1605). The three handsome
baroque altars date from 1604-7. Below that to the right is a vault with
the marble sarcophagus (18th cent.) of Bishop Ulrich (p. 19H), patron of
the see of Augsburg. In the S. aisle the fine screens of the chapels are
adorned with lattice-work (16th cent.). Finely carved confessionals of the
early 18th century. The 16th cent, paintings above the choir-stalls represent
the foundation of the choir and the procession of the emperor and estates.
The large organ (1903) is played at the chief services and on Fri.. 11-12.
The Sacristi/, on the left, in the Renaissance style, contains good stained
glass by Holbein the Elder and valuable reliquaries. A winding stair
ascends thence to the so-called Schveclcen-Kapelle, containing a Gothic
altar (1570) and old pictures.
No. A 67 in the Dominikaner-Gasse (PLC, 4; is iheDominikaner-
Kh'che (key at No. A 68a;, a lofty church built in 1512-15. The in-
terior, redecorated in the baroque style in 1718, is now utterly
neglected, but is to be restored. On the sides are four fine memorial
tablets for Emperor Maximilian, his son Philip, and two grandsons
(1519). — On the S.E. of the town is the Botes Tor .PI. C, D, 6i,

Ratishon (1110 ft.;, Grerman Recjenshury , was the Castra
Regina of the Romaus, later known as Ratishona. It is now the
see of a bishop, with 55,000 inhab. , situated in a broad fertile
basin on the right bank of the Danube, where the latter is joined
by the Regen. For the art -history of the early middle ages, and
especially for the Romanesque period, Ratishon is as important as
Nuremberg is for the subsequent centuries (comp. p. xixi. Some of
the extant Cliristian structures date back to the late C'arlovingian
period. The Geschlechte r - Hciuser (Adelsburgem, or mansions of
the old patricians, with tlieir towers of defence and private chapels,
dating from the 13th-14th cent., are a reminiscence of early German
civic life now preserved at Ratishon alone. The town-walls were
demolished in 1858-68, with the exception of two gateways (St. Em-
merams-Tor and Osten-Tor). — The important river-trafiBc, of
wliich the transport of timber is the chief branch, is served by two
harbours on the right bank of tlie Danube, between \\\r slaughter-
house and the Hof railway-line.
Castra Regina was a fortified camp on tlie river, completed in 179 A.D.
Its chief relic is the Porta Pretoria (p. 205), or X. gate. The site of
tlie praetorium. or commandant's residence, is now occupied by the Moltke-
Platz (PI. D, E, 3). Numerous Roman and (iermanic antiquities found in
graves are preserved in the museum of the historical society (p. 205). —
"Phe bishopric of Ratishon was founded by St. Boniface in 7.39. From the
11th to the lltli cent. Ratisbon was one of the most flourishing and pop-
ulous cities of S. Germany, being distinguished for its industrial art.
especially in goldsmith's work and tapestry-weaving (p. 207'i. In 1245 it
became a free imperial town, and from 1663 to 1806 it was the permanent
seat of the imperial diet. During the Thirty Years' War the town was
several times besieged (1633-4). In 1803 it was adjudged to Karl von
Dalberg, Elector of Mayence, and in 1810 it was united with Bavaria,
after the French had bombarded ai\d stormed the town on April 23rd of
the preceding year.
204 Jiouie 2S. RATISBON. Cathedral.
The traffic of the town centres in the Dom-Platz (PI. D, 2, 3 ; tram-
ways, see p. 203), in which, in front of the General Post Office,
rises an equestrian statue of Louis I., by F. von Miller (1902).
The *Cathedral {Dom : PL D, 2, 3), dedicated to St. Peter, the
chief Gothic edifice in Bavaria, was begun by Bishop Leo of Thun-
dorf on the site of an earlier edifice in 1275 and completed during
the following centuries (down to 1524), Avith the exception of the
towers. The material is greenish-yellow sandstone from Kapfelberg
(p. 212). Of the architects employed the best -known are Konrad
Roritzer (after 1450) and his sons Matthaus and "Wolfgang (d. 1514).
The "VY. facade, with the chief portal and a triangular porch, is
due to Matth. Roritzer (1482-6). The two open-work towers (330 ft.
high) were completed in 1859-69 by F. von Denzinger. A gallery,
with open stone balustrade, is carried round the roof, and affords
a good survey of the town (apply to the sacristan, see below). On the
N. transept rises the Esels-Turm, a relic of the original Romanesque
edifice, containing a winding inclined plane. Conip. p. xx.
The ^Interior (adm. on week-days from 10. on Sim. from 11 a.m.,
by the X.E. portal in the Dom-Grarten; sacristan Domgarten 2. behind the
choir; good music on Sun. and feast-days 9-10.30) is 275 ft. long, 120 ft.
broad, and 100 ft. high. The iDroportions recall St-Urbain at Troyes or
Strassburg Cathedral. Peculiarities of construction are that the transept
does not project beyond the sides of the aisles, and that the choir is
destitute of the ambulatory and radiating chapels usual in Gothic cathe-
drals. The choir has a triforium-gallcry, Avhich is continued round the
entire church. Most of the stained-glass windows in the transepts, the
S. aisle, and over the W. portal are modern; those in the choir date
from the llt)i and Ifitli coituries.
Xate. On the W. wall, next the portal, are early-Gothic equestrian
statues of SS. Maurice and Martin (early 14th cent.). The late -Gothic
pulpit (canopy modern) dates from 1482. The nave contains also the
bronze monument of Cardinal Philip (1579-98), son of Duke William of
Bavaria. — In the Aisles are five Gothic altars (14th -15th cent.) with
modern paintings, the finest in the X. aisle, with statues of Emperor
Henry II. and Empress Kunigunde. In a niche in the X. aisle, partly
concealed, is the marble monument of the Primate Karl von Dalberg
(p. 203), designed by Canova. Opposite is the beautiful early -Renais-
sance tomb of Ursula Aquila (d. 1547).
Choir. On the N. side, to the left, is the bronze *Monument of Mar-
gareta Tucher, by Peter Vischer (1521), in the Renaissance style, with a
relief representing Christ taking leave of Mary. The high-altar, presented
in 1785 by Bishop Fugger, is entirely covered with silver plating; adjoin-
ing it is the elegant *'Sakramentshauschen' (p. 170), 60 ft. in height, with
numerous statuettes, begun in 1493 hy 31. Roritzer and completed in 1510-14
hyWoIfgang. By the portal on the S" side of the choir is a well 55 ft. deep,
with an elegant stone covering executed in 1501 by Wolfgang Roritzer.
The Treasury (shown by the sacristan) contains valuable cliurch-plate,
incl. an early-Gothic *Altar-cross , originallv in the possession of King
Ottocar of Bohemia (d. 1278), a silver-gilt statuette of St. Sebastian (after
1500), and the 'rationale' of Bishop Berthold of Eichstatt (1351-65).
The *Cloisters (PI. D, 2) on the N.E. side of the cathedral (shown
by the sacristan ; gratuity 50 pf .) date in their present form mainly from
the 14th-16th centuries. The central walk between the two courts contains
beautiful windows displaying a union of Gothic and Renaissance forms
(ca. 1520) ; the pavement is formed by tombstones of canons and patri-

ciaus. — Adjoining tliis walk on the E. is the Romanesque Allerheilifjen-
KapeUe , the burial-chapel of Bishop Haitwig II. (llSo-eS"!, with tlirec
apses, early frescoes, and a Romanesque altar. — On the N. side of the
cloisters is" the St. Stephans-Kapelle, erroneously known as the 'Old
Cathedral', probably built about 105U as the chapel of the Bischofshof
(see below). It forms a vaulted rectangle, with apsidal recesses in the
sides and the W. gallery. The early-Romanesque altar is a block of stone
partly hollowed out, with little windows, in which the relics of St. Wolf-
gang (p. 209) were formerly preserved. — The Gothic St. Michaels- Kapelle,
on the S. side of the cloisters, lias interesting vaulting.
On the N^. .side of the cathedral, next the Johannis- Kirche, is
the old Bischofshof (PI. 1 ; D, 2), or episcopal palace, huilt about
975 by St. Wolfgang fp. 209), rebuilt in the 13th and 16th cent., and
frequently occupied by the emperors on their visits to Ratisbon. —
In the street 'Unter den Schwibbogen', on the X. side of the Bischofs-
hof, is the ancient Porta Pneforia (PI. 6, D, 2 ; p. 203), of which
the archway of rough limestone blocks and the E. tower (adjacent,
to the left) are preserved.
Since 1821 the Bishop's Residence (PI. E, 2;, E. of the cathedral
cloisters, has been in the former Benedictine nunnery of Nieder-
miinster, founded in the 9th century. The Stifts-Kirche (PI. E, 2i,
now the pari-sh-church, restored after the fire of 1152 and rebuilt
in the 17th and 18th cent., has a Romanesque portal and a Cruci-
fixion (early 14th cent.) in the vestibule. On the S. wall of the choir
there is a good stone Madonna (ca. 1350). — In the Erhardi-Gasse,
behind the church, is the early-Romanesque Chapel of St . Erhard
(key kept by the caretaker of the Katholisches Yereinshaus, p. 206;
gratuity 30 pf.).
On the S. side of the Dom-Grartcn, just beyond the cathedral, is
the St. Ulrichs-Kirche, or AUe 'Pfarre (PL D, 3), an early-
Gothic rectangular building, with reminiscences of the Romanesque
style (ca. 1250), surrounded by galleries. It contains the most im-
portant part (comp. p. 206) of the Collections of the Historical
Society (adm. May-Oct. 8-12 and 2-6, 20 pf.; catalogue 30 pf.).
Tlie Nave contains mural paintings of 1571. In front arc sculptures
of the MLMovingian period (?) and medijeval sculptures and architectural
fragments (on the left, 3. Romanesque astrolabe from St. Emmeram's,
ca. 1200; right, 157. Small stone figure from tlie stone bridge; 193. Cata-
pult from a tower of defence). Farther on are Roman monuments in
stone, dedication-stones, sarcophagi, etc. ; on the wall to the left (No. 1)
are remains of the inscription on the Porta Principalis Dextra, the E.
gate of Castra Regina (p. 203). — In the Galleries are valuable pre-
historic and Germanic objects from tombs, and (W. side) Roman *Glass
vessels, phalerje, gold coins, etc.
A few paces to the S.E. of St. Ulrich's is the Moltke-Platz (PI.
D, E, 3). On the W. side are the Herzopshof (P\. 2; now forestry
offices), mentioned as early as 988, and the so-called Romer-Tnrm
(PI. 9), an early-mediseval tower Avith a Romanesque upper story.
On the 8. side of the square, beside the Maximilian -Str., which
leads to the station, is the Alte Kapelle (PI. D, E, 3), originally a
206 r^oii'e 28. RATISBO>f. Patham
Romanesque church touuded in the 9th cent., with a Gothic choir
(1441) and a detached belfry built of Roman freestone (the lower
part Carlovingian). The interior of the church was modernized in
1748 in a sumptuous rococo style. On the E. side is the Carmelite
Church (PI. E, 3), in the Italian baroque style (after 1660). —
Beyond it, in the Kasern-Platz, rises the Gothic Minorite Church
(PI. E, 3), of the 13th-14th cent., with a fine slender choir. It is
now used as a military gymnasium, and the adjacent monastery is
now barracks.
On the left side (No. 2i of the Kalmlmzer-Cxasse, which leads
N. from the Minoriten-Kirche, is the Catholic Vereinshaus St. Er-
hard (PI. E, 2), with a fine Gothic hall from the old Dollinger-Haus
(ca. 1300), containing curious reliefs (Bollinger's battle with the
giant Krako, etc.). On the second floor are the remainder (comp.
p. 205) of the Collections of the Historical Society (open Sun. and
holidays, in summer Tues. and Thurs. 10-12 also; adm. 20 pf.;
apply to the attendant in St. Ulrich's church^
Near the entrance are old plans of Ratisbou (1614 and 1645). Farther
to the left, work in iron; instruments of torture; tilting -saddle of the
Paulsdorfer family (15th cent.). Among the pictures : L. Cranach the Elder,
Pieta ; remains of frescoes (Susanna at the bath, Lovers, etc.) from a bath-
room in the emperor's apartments at the Bischofshof (16th cent.); Alb.
Altdorfer (of Ratisbon ; 1480-1538), David and Bathsheba, and a winged
altar-piece (1517); Mich. Ostendorfer, Altar-piece (1555) and Portrait
(1533) ; three portraits of the Memmingcr family (1642). Also fine stained
glass (15th-16th cent.), three stoves in the Empire style, etc.
From the N. end of the Kalmiinzer-Gasse the Osten-Gasse leads
to the Osten-Tor (PI. F, 3; 1330). To the X. lies the Boyal Villa
(PI. F, 3), built in 1853 in a modern Gothic style, on an old bastion

A few paces to the X.W. of the Dom-Platz, in the Goliath-Str.
(PL D, 2), is the Thundorfer-Haus. reconstructed in 1898, with
a wall-painting (David and Goliath) and an old tower of defence
(p. 203). — In the Wahlen-Str. (PI. C, D, 2, 3), which runs S. from
the adjacent Kohlenmarkt, rises the Goldener Turm (175 ft.), the
highest of the towers of defence. — In the opposite direction we
reach the Fischmarkt, with a pretty fountain, and (left) the quaint
Kepler-Str. (PI. C, 2), with the house (Xo. 5, on the left) in which
the astronomer Johann Kepler (b. 1571; comp. p. 22) died in
1630. Adjacent (Xo. 7) is the Gasfhaus zum Blauen Hecht. with
a tower of defence.
The *Rathaus (PI. C, 2) is a picturesque, irregular pile, re-
stored in 1904-7. The older or W. portion, dating from the 14th
cent., presents a plain Gothic facade towards the Rathaus-Platz,
with an elegant oriel and a fine portal; remains of old 16th cent.

traits of patricians, Ratisbon coins, etc. — In the. Jlodell-Zimmer are
models of buildings in Ratisbon (iucl. a wooden model for the Kapelle
zur Schonen Maria, p. 209, showing a curious blending of Gothic and
Renaissance forms, by Hans Huber of Augsburg, 1519), guild antiquities,
targets, etc. — On the ground-floor are old cannon, the condemned cell,
the well-preserved torture-chamber, with the judges' seat behind a lattice,
and two dungeons.
Farther W. is the Haid-Platz (PI. C, 2), on the E. (left) side of
which is the old Imperial Library, a building with towers and
a double arcade facing the court, in which the religious disputation
between Eck and Melanchthon took place in 1541. On the N". side
is the Krafft House (PI. 4, C 2; formerly the Hotel zuni Goldnen
Kreuz), with a massive tower of defence bearing a modern portrait
of Don John of Austria.
Don John of Austria, the famous admiral, a natural son of Emperor
Charles Y. and Barbara Blomberg, was born at Ratisbon in 1547 (d. 1578).
Charles Y. lodged during tho diet of 1.546 at the house of Bernard Kraflft,
but that Don John was born there is a fiction.
We now follow the Ludwig-Str. to the Arnulfs-Platz, and turn
to the left past the Neues Hans with the Theatre (PI. B, 3).
The St. Jakobs -Kirche or Schotten-Kirche (PI. B, 3), a
Romanesque basilica consecrated in 1110, was reconstructed about
1152-84. The *N. Portal is adorned with curious and fantastic
sculptured figures of men and animals, perhaps symbolical of the
rescue of souls from the Evil One' above are Christ and the
Apostles. The monastery, founded by Scottish (i.e. Irish) monks,
was suppressed in 1862 and is now a seminary. — In the vicinity,
outside the Jakobs -Tor, with its 14th cent, towers, is a richly
carved Gothic Column of 1459. — Farther AV., in the Schiitzen-
Str., is the new Sfadt-Fark (PI. A, 2). To the right of the entrance
is the Xahiral Science Museum (PI. 5; A, 2), opened in 1912,
with interesting geological and zoological collections (open free in
summer on Sun. 10-12 and 2-4: at other times apply to the attend-
ant, gratuity).
In the former Westner suburb, N.W. of the Jakobs-Tor, are the
HeiligJcretiz-Kloster (P]. A. 2; no adm.), a Dominican nunnery of the
12th cent., and the St. Lconhards- Kirche (PI. A, B, 2; 13th cent.), with a

To the E. of the Jakobs-Kirche is the Bismarck-Platz (PI. B, 3) ,
on the S.E. side of which rises the earlv- Gothic *Doniinican
Church or Church of St. Blasias fPl. b/C, 3), begun about 1240
and completed about I-IOO. By the -Ith and 5th central pillars to
the left in the interior, which is notable for its elegant proportions,
are the admirable tombstones of Jorg Scheuk you Xeideck (d. 1504)
and Fuchs von Schneeberg (d. 1526; Renaissance). In the 8. aisle
are mural paintings of the 14th cent. (SS. Catharine. Christopher,
etc.). The sacristan (bell at the W. portal) shows the Cloisters
(15th cent.), the W. Avalk of which is adjoined by the Albertus-
Kapdle (rebuilt in 1897), the Schola Alberti Mafjni, a lectiu-e-
rooni of the 15th cent., converted into a chapel. Albertus (p. 194i,
afterwards Bishop of Ratisbon (1260-62), is said to have lectured
here about 1235. The monastery now accommodates the Lyceum,
with philosophical and theological faculties.
The Gesaxdtex-Strasse (PI. B, C, 3) leads E. from the Bismarck-
Platz to the Neupfarr-Platz (p. 209), passing on the right the Pro-
testant Dreieinigkeifs-Kirche (1627-31), consisting of a nave Avith
massive barrel-vaulting and a lofty gable (key next door, Xo. 11).
Behind it, in the former graveyard, a number of interesting tomb-
stones are built into the wall (visible from the street).
The Beraiter-AYeg leads S. from the Bismarck-Platz, passing the
Prcisidicd-Gebaude (PI. B, 3), formerly the palace of the French
ambassador, to the Agidien-Platz (PL B. 3), with the Gothic Agidien-
Kirche or St. Gilgen-Kirche, of the I3t'h-14th cent., till 1809 the
church of the Teutonic Order. — The Marschall-Str. to the left
leads thence past the Begierungs-Gebciude to the Emmerams-Platz
fPl. C, 3, 4), with a statue of Bishoj^ J. M. von Sailer (d. 1832),
by M. Widnniann (1868).
The old Benedictine abbey of St. Emmeram (PI. C, 4), one
of the oldest in Germany, was founded in the 7th cent, and sup-
pressed in 1803. The Romanesque Church, with two choirs and
crypts, was reconsecrated in 1052, rebuilt in 1163-89 after a fire,
and modernized in 1731-3 in the baroque style by the brothers
Asam. It is open during divine service only; the bell for the
sacristan (gratuity 50 pf.) is beside the belfry.'
From the Emmerams-Platz we first pass through au early- Gothic
double portal, forming- the X. wall of an imcomplctcil vestibule, into
tlie Forecourt, with a Crucifixion of 1513. On the left is the pretty
detached Bell Touer (1575-9), the sandstone figures on the exterior of
which have mostly disappeared. Wc next enter the 'Paradies', two bays
of the above-mentioned vestibule on tlie left is the St. Rupert-Kirche,
p. 209), and reach the Double Portal of the Emmerams-Kirche, with
two semicircular niches in au antique style and stift' figures in relief of
Christ and SS. Emmeram (left) and Dioiiysius (right) : "on Christ's foot-
stool is the portrait of the builder, Abbot Reginward (1048-64).
Interior. The large painting on the high-altar is by Joachim von
Sandi'art, representing the martyrdom of St. Emmeram (d. 715?). Two
slabs in the pavement in front mark the tombs of the emperors Arnulf

(887-899) and Louis the Child (900-911). Beneath the high-altar is the
silver sarcophagus of St. Emuicram (1423). — The chief objects of
interest arc the tombstones (mostly 1 1th cent.). In the left aisle, beside
the altar of St. Dionysins, is the *Tombstonc of Empress Uta, wife
of Arnulf (or rather of Emma, ■wife of Emperor Louis the German?):
farther on, to the left of the entrance to the St. Eupert-Kirche (see below ,
is the alleged grave of Count AVarmund ofWasserburg (d. 1010): in the
chapel to the left of the choir are the monuments of Duke Henry the Quarrel-
some of Bavaria (d. 995) and the *Blessed Aurelia (d. 1027)j said to be a
daughter of Hugh Capet (erected in 1.335); opposite, at the entrance to the
ohoir, is the tomb of Duke Arnulf (d. 937) : in the chapel on the right of
the choir is the large Gothic monument of St. Emmcram (14th r-ent.), in
red marble ; in the S. aisle, beside the altar of St. Calcedonius, are the
*Monument of St. AVolfgang (d. 994; beneath an iron grating) and the
simple tombstone of Bishop Tuto (d. 930). — The modernized E. crypt

W. crypt. Avitli its double aisles, -wall-niches, columns, and octagonal
pillars, dates from 1052 and was restored in 1878. On the altar is a
modern shrine containing the relics of St. Wolfgang. In the central
niche is an ancient stone seat known as the Heinrichs-Stuhl.
Adjoining the Emraeranis-Kirche on the X. is the late-Gothic
,'S'/. Rupert - Kirche (PI. C, 4), completed in l.JOl. now a parish-
church. — The Residence of the Princes of Thurn and
Taxis (PL C, 4 1, which has occupied the site of the abbey-buildings
since 1812, encloses the fine Cloisters on the S. side of St. Emme-
rani's. The cloisters (open daily, 11-12), erected after 1250 in the
transitional style, with a fine X. portal and a modern-Gothic burial-
chapel (1835-41) containing a marble statue of Christ by Dannecker
(1831), are reached by turning to the right froju the church, past
lhe royal riding-school (with reliefs by Schwauthaler); then to the
left into the large court, with the 'Kaiser-Brunnen" (1579), and again
to the left where we find the porter (gratuity 50 pf.). '
The adjacent abbey-church of Obermiinster (PI. D, 3), a few
paces S. of the Obermimster-Str., is a Romanesque basilica of the
11th cent., resembling St. Emmeram's and completely remodelled
in the baroque style with the exception of the detached belfry. It
contains a Mount of Olives (1470) in the vestibule, a fine Renais-
sance altar (1534-40) in the N. aisle, and tombstones of abbesses
in the S. aisle. The convent, which dates from the Carlovingiau
period, is now an episcopal school for boys.

teen arches, dates for the most part probably from 1135-46 and
AA-as much admired in the middle ages. The only remaining S. toA\-er
('13th cent.) Avas rebuilt in 1648. The bridge (fine vieAv'i connects
Ratisbou AAith Stadtamhof, an ancient Bavarian tOAvn on the left
bank, destroyed by the SAvedes in 1633 and burned doA\'n by the
Austrians in 1809. BeloAv Stadtamhof the Fegen empties its turbid

The excursion to the Walhalla is most attractive ('steam-traniAvay,
motor-omu., or carr., see pp. 203. 202). The Walhalla-Bahn (station,
see PI. D, 1) traverses Stadtamhof, crosses the Regen. and inter-
sects the raihvay (p. 229) at the station of Walhalla -Strasse.

the village; — 6^ o M. Walhalla.
Two routes ascend from the tramway station to the Walhalla. The
one to the left, diverging to the W. (guide-post) from the high-road after
3 min., below the Salvator-Kirche, and running through woods (at first
a carriage-road, then ascending in steps and by a footpath to the right,
past the house of the custodian), is easier (12^ min.) and preferable for
the view suddenly disclosed. The other (8 miu.), a footpath, ascends
direct from the tramway station to the flight of steps.
The *Wallialla (i.e. Hall of the Chosen, the Paradise of the
ancient Germans), a 'Temple of Fame' resembling the Parthenon,
built from the plans of Klenze (p. 244), stands conspicuously
on a hill planted AA-ith trees, 315 ft. aboA-e the Danube (1350 ft.
above sea-lcA-el). A magnificent flight of 240 steps, divided into ter-
races, ascends to it on the river-side. The foundation-stone Avas laid

constructed of unpolished grey marble. The pediments both in front
and at the back contain groups in marble: S., towards the Danube,
Germania regaining her liberty after the Battle of Leipzig; X., the
Victory of Arminius over the Romans, both by Schwanthaler. The
roof is of iron, covered with plates of copper.
The INTERIOR, of the Ionic order, consists of a superb hall
155 ft. long, 45 ft. broad, and 50 ft. high, with a coffered bronze
cpiling, riclily decorated and gilded (the compartments painted blue
with stars of platinum), and lighted from above. The lateral walls
are divided into six sections by projecting buttresses and corner-
])ilasters, and are lined with red-brown marble. The richly adorned
architrave is supported by 14 painted Caryatides by Schwantaler.
Around the entire hall runs a marble frieze by M. Wagner, repre-
senting in 8 sections the history and life of the Germans down to
the introduction of Christianity. Above the cornice are 61 marble
tablets bearing the names of famous Germans of whom no portrait
has been preserved, and three tablets commemorating celel)ritios
whose names even are unknown fthe author of the Nibelungen-Lied,
the architect of Cologne Cathedral, the three men of the Riitli>.
Marble busts (105 at the present time), by Tieck, Schadow, Ranch,
etc., represent Germans who w'ere deemed worthy by the founder
to grace his temple of fame. Emperor William I. Avas added in
1898, Prince Bismarck in 1908, Moltke in 1910, and Wagner in
1913. Some of the busts have curious inscriptions composed by
King Louis. In the centre of each of the six sections of the walls
is a Victory by Ranch. Round the walls are twelve marble seats
and eight candelabra. Opposite the entrance is a seated figure of
Louis L, by F. von Miiller (1890i.
The *View includes the dark slopes of the Bayrischer Wald,
the Danube, and the fertile plain of Straubing; on the right are
Donaustauf and Ratisbon.

Kelheim (1160 ft.), an old town of 3800 inhab., is situated at
the confluence of the AltmUhl and Ludivigs-Kanal (p. 146) with the
Danube. The town-walls are still partly preserved. At the entrance
to the town is a monument (1905) to the butcher Matthias Kraus,
who saved Kelheim in 1705, The market is adorned with a ]\[arien-
Siiule of 1700 and statues of Louis I. and Maximilian II. by Halbig.
The *Befrei\mgs-Halle (Hall of Liberation; 1480 ft.i, on the
Michaelsherg, to the W. of the town (^l^i"- fi'om f'le station by
road, 35 miu. by footpath on the E. side), designed by Gartner and

good survey of the interior (echo). A narrow staircase leads thence
to the oul^r gallery, where a view of the valleys of the DaTiube and
Altmiihl is enjoyed.
The *Valiey of the Danube between Kelhcim and Weltenburg
affords a pleasant boat-trip (downstream). The barren and rugged rocks
(300-400 ft. in height), the gorges and summits of which are wooded, rise
so abruptly from the river that no room is left even for a footpath,
and iron rings are attached to the sides to help the boatmen in going
upstream. The rocks are named from their shape or from some legend
(Three Brotliers, Maiden, Peter and Paul, Pulpit, Napoleon, etc.). Three
'Roman walls' (of pre-Roman origin) cross the ridge between the Danube
and Altmiihl valleys; one of them is 2 M. long. — The best plan is to
follow the good forest-path (red way-marks) from the custodian's cottage
behind the Befreiungs-Hallc. passing the Roman walls (tablets) and reach-
ing the Danube opposite (1 hr.) Welten!)urg. Ferry (10 pf.) to the abbey

Rhine and Gaul, and soon after 15 B. C. they established a station here,
which they maintained, with three interruptions, down to the 5th century.

of the same name, is a town of 9100 inhab., pleasantly situated on
a hill rising from the Danube. The old town still has remains of
fortifications. From the station we proceed straight on through
the Bahnhof-Str., the Schungnadenegg, and the Ludwig-Str. to the

Library, once the church of St. Martin, was rebuilt in 1730 in the
baroque style. The Rathaus, with its flight of steps, dates from
1613; inside, the fittings of the 'Reprasentations-Zimmer' should
be noticed. The Hof-Kirche, re-erected in 1607-16, is embellished
with stucco work by Castelli (1620) and contains valuable eccle-
siastical vessels. Among the collections of the Historical Society
the prehistoric objects, four pieces of tapestry (16th cent.), and
some antependia may be mentioned. The older part of the large
Schloss is now a barrack. The W. wing rOtto-Heinrichs-Bau'i, in the
Renaissance style, added by Elector Otho Henry in 1530-38, is in
better preservation and contains the district archives. From the
Schloss we descend to the left to the bridge, from the N. end of

Rothenburg (140U ft.), with 8600 inhab., is pleasantly situated
on the W. margiu of a plateau desceuding abruptly to the Tauher.
It was already spoken of as a town iu 942, and from 1172 to 1802
it was a free city of the empire. Rothenburg attained its greatest
prosperity in the 14th cent, as a member of the Swabian League,
under Burgomaster Toppler. In 1525 it joined the insurgent peas-
antry, and in 1544 it embraced the Reformation. During the
Thirty Years' War the town was captured in 1631 by the imperial
troops under Tilly and iu 1645, after a short bombardment, by
Turenne. — Rothenburg is unique in its wealth of beautiful build-
ings and picturesque streets. The small red -tiled, gabled houses
and the excellently preserved walls, towers, and gates aflbrd an
admirable idea of a medieeval town. As in Nuremberg the churches
are Clothic, while the secular buildings, though of Gothic plan, are
mostly decorated in the Renaissance style (comp. p. xxix).
Those who are not subject to giddiness sliould not fail to ascend
the tower of the Rathaus, in order to obtain an idea of the town as a
whole. Another fine view of Rotlienburg is obtainable from the Burg-
Garten, especially by evening-light. The gardens between the Stober-
leins-Turm and tlie Cobolzeller Tor command a splendid view of tlie
town from the S., especially fine in the evening or Ity moonlight.
On Whit-Sunday afternoon a 'shepherds' dance" is held, followed by
an illumination of the town from the Cobolzeller Tor to the Burg-Garten.
On Wliit-Monday the play of 'Der Meistertrunk' (p. 218) is given.
From the station we proceed to the left to (6 min.) the Roder-
Tor (PI. D, 2), the E. entrance of the town, with a bastion of 1615
ipretty view of the 'Zwinger', or space between the walls). Thence
we follow the Roder-Str. straight on to the Roder-Bogen, adjoining
the Markfis-Ttirnt (PLC, 2), a relic of the earliest town -wall,

pulled (lowu iu the 13tb century. We next follow the Hafen-Grasse
to (5 min.) the Markt-Platz (PL B, C, 2). Ou the W. side is the —
Rathaus (PI. B, 2i, the older (iothic part of which (at the
back) dates from 1240-50. The tower. 160 ft. high, was built in
1556. The front part of the building, burned down in 1501, was
replaced in 1572-5 by a beautiful Renaissance structure by Leon-
hard Weidmann of Rothenburg and Wolf Loscher of Xuremberg.
It is adorned with a fine projecting rustica portico and balcony
(1681?), a staircase-tower, and an oriel-window. Tickets (at the
police-station) 25 pf., for a party 20 pf. each pers., for the tower
and dungeons 10 pf. each.
The spiral staircase iu the newer building ascends to an anteroom
with a fine timber-roof supported by Ionic columns aud the arms of
former councillors. Beyond this i door to the right of the tower staircase ;
ring) is the large court-room, now called the Kaiser-SaaL with a judges'
bench, jury-box. bar. etc. This is the scene of the Whitsuntide play
mentioned on p. 217. The present Council Chamber ou the second floor
contains paintings by Birkraeyer (Tilly entering Rothenburg, and the
town saved from destruction by the •Meistertrunk'. or wondrous draught
of wine, of Burgomaster Xusch) and by Schuch (luterceding with Tilly).
The spiral staircase has fine vaulting at the top. — In the cellars are
dungeons, where, among others, the burgomaster Toppler (p. 217), accused
of treason, perished in 1408.
The tower of the old Rathaus (193 steps, difficult; entr., see above)
commands a splendid view of the town and environs. — In the court
between the old and new Rathaus (entr. in the Herren-Str.) is a fine, but
sadly weather-worn Renaissance portal (1598).
On the N. side of the market-place is the old Rats-Trinkstuhe
(1466), now the post ofB.ce (PI. B, 2)\ at midday two figures appear
on the gable and perform the 'Meistertrunk'.
The Hafen-Gasse (see above; is continued to the AV. by the broad
Herkex-Strasse(P1. B, 2), at the beginning of which, to the left, is the
fine Herterich-Brunnen or aS7. Georgs-Brunnen, of 1608, restored
in 1886. Behind it CSo. lb) is the Fleisch-Haus or Tanz-Haus, ou
the site of the earliest Rathaus, burned down in 1240. It now con-
tains an historical museum ^20 pf.). No. 74, the old Jagstheimer
House (1488), now the Marien-Apotheke, has a pretty court (apply at
the chemist's). Farther on, to the right (No. 19), is the Voit Staudt
House (PI. B. 2). with a fine courtyard. Opposite, ou the left, is
the early-Gothic Franciscan Church (PL B, 2; Protestant), built
in 1285-1309 (keys kept by the 'Stadt-Kirchner', p. 219 ; adm! 40pf.,
for a party 20 pf. each).
The Interior contains many interesting hatchments and tomb.s. In
the left aisle, beneath a Gothic Madonna, is the tomb of Peter von Creg-
lingen (d. UO-l) ; by a round pillar to the left of the painted choir-screen is
the tomb of Hans von Beulendorf (A. 1504) and his wife (d. 1496): by
the entrance to the choir is the monument of Dietrich von Berlichingen
(d. 1484), grandfather of Gotz. The statue of St. Liborius on the choir-
screen is from the studio of Riemeuschneider (1492).
No. 44. adjoining the church, is the old Berrneter House, Mnth
a lofty Gothic gable. The Herren-Str. ends at the Burg-Tor (p. 220).

In the Kikch-Platz, a few paces N. of the Rathaus (p. 218), are
the St. Jakobs-Kirche and tlic Gymnasium (PI. B, 1), built by L.
^Veidmann (p. 218) in 1589-92; it has a good staircase-tower, with
a portal of 1703.
The Protestant *St. Jakobs-Kirche (PI. B, 1 1, a lofty basilica,
Mas built in 1373-1436 (the W. choir completed in 1471), rebuilt

condition. It has two E. towers and a choir at each end. The sacri-
stan ('Stadt-Kirchner') lives opposite the E. choir (adm. 50 pf., for
a party 30 pf. each).
The Ikterior is remarkable for its flue ])roportions. In the E. choir
is the *High Altar 'of the twelve messengers', with carvings of the Swa-
bian school (Crucifixion with six saints and four hovering angels); on the
exterior of the wings are scenes from the life of the Madonna, by Friedrich
Herlin (1466). Below are Christ and the Twelve Apostles. At the back,
above on tlie left, is a view of tlie market-place with the Ratliaus before
the rebuilding (p. 21S). The 'Sakraraentshauschen" 'p. 170: late 14th cent.).
to the left, bears a naive representation of the Trinity. The three stained-
glass *AVindows of the E. choir (best seen by morning-light; date from
the late 14th cent, and were restored in 1856 (scenes from the life of
Christ). To the right of the choir is the *Altar of the Holy Blood (1478\
with carvings by Riemenschneider (Last Supper, Entry into Jerusalem,
Christ on the Mount of Olives : 1499-1505"). On the predella is the Baptism
of Christ. To the left is the Altar of the Virgin, from the Spital-Kirelio
(Franconian ; after 1520). — In the 1st chapel of the S. aisle is a Madonna
(ca. 1480-90); in the 2nd or Toppler Chapel is the tomb of the burgo-
master (p. 217). — The W. choir contains three modern windows (1910).
Built into the W. choir, beneath which the Kliugen-Str. passes,
is the Gothic Heiligbh(t-Kapelle (PI. B. 1; temporarily inacces-
sible), rebuilt after 1453, with three paintings by Fr. Herlin, etc. —
Close by, at the corner of the Kloster-Gasse, is the V(fn Kochert

The Geokgex-Stk.vssk runs E. from the Kirch-Platz (see above)
to the Weisser Turm (PI. C, 1), which, like the Markus-Turm
(p. 217), is a survival from the earliest town-wall. Adjacent, to the
left, is the picturesque Judentanz-Haus, or Stein house (late 14th
cent.; no adm.), with a pretty wooden oriel (behind the tower). The
Wiirzburger Str. leads from the Weisser Turm to the Wiirzhuryer

From the market-place the Obere Schmied-Str. (PL C, 2, 3)
descends to the S. part of the town, known as the 'Kappenzipfel'.
Immediately on the left (Xo. 343) is the Hans des Baumeisters,
by L. "NVeidmaun (1596), with a handsome facade adorned with
Caryatides and a pretty court (cafe in summer). The Goldener Greif^
adjoining (Xo. 342), was once the house of Toppler (p. 217). Farther
on. to the right, is the G^oWuq St .Johan ins-Kirche{V\. C, 2 ; Catholic),
dating from 1393-1403 and restored in the interior in 1604, with
the Johanniterhof (now district offices). The Schmied-Str. leads

Gasse 166). In the court stands the Hegereiter-Hauschen (1591).
— Outside the Spitcd-Tor (PI. C, 4) projects a circular bastion
(1572-86), still mounting some ancient cannon. Steps descend thence
to the Hot. Wildbad fp. 217). — From the Spital-Tor we may take
the road X. outside the town-walls, past the Faul-Turm (PI. C, 3),
to the Roder-Tor (p. 217); or we may ascend the steps to the right
at the end of the Spital-Gasse and follow the covered walk on the
E. and X. walls to (25 min.) the Klingen-Tor ('see below).
From the bastion of the Spital-Tor we proceed to the right (W.)
to the Essigkrug (PI. B, 4), a projecting spur, on Avhich rises the
Wildhad-Turm (PI. B, 4), the only relic of a castle destroyed by
an earthquake in 1356. Descent thence into the Tauber-Tal, see
p. 221. We next skirt the town-wall, passing the Stoherleins-Turm
(PI. B. 4) and the Cobolzeller Tor ('see above), and reach the (10 min.)
Burg-Garten (PL A, 2), with its old lime-trees, laid out on a hill
once occupied by a castle of the Hohenstaufen, built in 1146 to
replace the stronghold of the Counts of Rothenburg, who became
extinct in 1108. This was destroyed by the earthquake of 1356, only
the St. Blasias-Kcqjelle, now containing architectural fragments
('adm. 20 pf.), escaping destruction. The gardens command a fine
*View of the town and the deep Tauber-Tal. Below, to the W., is
the Toppler-Schlosschen (p. 221).
A pretty walk may be taken from the Burg-Garten outside the
town-walls, past the Burg-Tor (PL A, 2), at the end of the Herren-

Landshut (1290 ft.), with 25,100 inhab., the capital of Lower
Bavaria, with handsome brick churches and gabled houses, lies
picturesquely on the right bank of the Isar, which forms an island
within the town. The quarter on this island is called Zicischen-
Bi^Ucleit. From 1255 to 1503 Landshut Avas the capital of the
Duchy of Bayern- Landshut, and in 1800-26 it was the seat of a
university (comp. p. 226). An historical festival ('Landshuter Hoch-
zeit'j is celebrated every summer in memory of the marriage of
Duke George with the Polish princess Hedwig in 1475.
The station (PI. A, 1) lies on the left bank of the Isar, in the
suburb of St. Nikola, 20 min. from the Js^. end of the 'Altstadt'.
On the way to the town we pass the Cistercian nunnery oiSeligental
(PI. B, C, 2), founded in 1232, with a church rebuilt by Dom.
Zimmermann (?) iu 1729-38. The latter has fine stucco decoration
in the early-rococo style and a wood-carving of the Descent from
the Cross (ca. 1525; S.E. wall). Adjacent'is the Gothic Afra-
Kapelle, originally Romanesque. — Beyond the Kleine Isar, in
Zwischen-Briickeu. is the small Sebastians- Kirche (PL C, 2, 3),
rebuilt in 1666.
On the right bank of the Isar begins the 'Altstadt', or main
street of the town, with arcades on its E. side. On the right is the
Heiliggeist-Kirche, or Spital-Kirche (PL C, 3), an elegant brick
building begun by Hans .Stethaiiiier in 1407 and finished in 1462.
— Farther on, to the left, is the Bathaus (PL C, 4), built in 1446
and remodelled in a Gothic style in 1860-61. The large hall on
the first floor (bell for porter to the right), fitted up by Hauberrisser,
is adorned with mural paintings relating to the 'Landshuter Hoch-
zeit' (see above). In front of the Rathaus stands a bronze statue of
King ^Laximiliaa II. (PL 3), by Beruhard (1868).
The Residenz (PL C, 3, 4), or royal palace, opposite the Rathaus,
was begun by German architects in the Renaissance style in 1536,
and completed by Italian architects iu 1643. The E. facade was
remodelled iu 1780. The main W. building has an open colonnade

No. 81, is the Pappenberg house, with an interesting court. —
To the W. of the 'Altstadt', at the end of the Theater-Gasse, is
the Land-Tor (PL 5; C, 4), with the Collections of the Historical
^Society (Sun. 11-12; keeper next door).
Farther S. in the 'Altstadt' is the *.SV. Martins-Kirr/ieiVl. C, 4),
a late-Gothic brick cliurch with slender pillars, begun before 1392
by Meister Hans Stethaiiuer of ]»urghausen and completed about
1432. On the W. side is a tower (435 ft. high) erected ca. 1500,
one of the highest mediaeval church-towers in Germany. The por-
tals are elaborately decorated. Outside the S. wall, protected by
a railing, is the tomb of Hans Ijjtethaimer, with his bust and a
figure of the Saviour. Inside the chief points of interest are the
pulpit with its stone canopy (1422), a large wooden crucifix (ca.
1500; left of the W. portal), and the stone high-altar (1424).
Xearly opposite St. Martin's, on the ^V. side of the 'Altstadt',
is the old House of the Estates (PL 4; C, 4), with late 16th cent,
frescoes of the Bavarian sovereigns from Otho I. to Maximilian I.
(restored). — In the Dreifaltigkeits-Platz is a bronze statue of
Duke Louis the Rich (A. 1479; PL 2, C 4), founder of the university
(p. 226), by Fr. Brugger (1858).
Above the town to the S. (ascent in 8 min. by the Berg-Str.)
rises *Burg Landshut or Trausnitz (1520 ft.; PL C, 5), an old
castle begun by Duke Louis of Kelheini in 1204 (comp. p. xxviii),
and the residence down to 1503 of the Dukes of Bayern-Landshut.
Conradin, the last of the Hohenstaufen, was born at the neighbour-
ing castle of Wolfstein (now a ruin) in 1252, and spent a part of his
childhood at tlie Trausnitz. The building now contains the archives;
part of the top fioor has been fitted up for tlie reception c»l' the King
of Bavaria. Custodian at the second gate, on the left (\ 2"! '^)-

floor (ca. 1.j78). Iu the court is a well, surmounted by a wrought-iron
fraiiiework; the bronze pails (1.5.')8J are now kept inside the castle. The
mural paintings on the "Xarren-Treppe' (fools' staircase) represent scenes
from the Italian comedy. Some of the apartments were painted in the
Renaissance style in 1577-80 from designs by Fr. Sustris. The late-
Romanesque chapel (restored) is a part of the original structure. It
contains interesting seated figures in stucco of Christ, the Virgin, and the
Apostles (on the balustrade of the choir), a relief of the Annunciation, mural
paintings (in the altar-recess), and a 'Sakramentshituschen' (p. 170^ of 1471.

History. MTmiCH. 33. Route. 243
Munich (1705 ft.), German Milnchen, the capital of Bavaria,
with 630,000 inhab. (one-seventh Protestants; only 170,000 in 1871),
lies on the S. side of a sterile plateau, chiefly on the left bank of
the Isa'r, which emerges from a narrow valley (tO M. long) above
the city. It is the head-quarters of the 1st Bavarian army-corps, the
scat of a university and a technical college, and the chief centre of
art in Grerraany. Munich is liable to sudden changes of temperature,
against which visitors should be on their gnard, especially towards
evening. The liigh mountains, about 25 M. to the S., become very
distinct after a thunder-storm or on the approach of bad weather. As
Munich did not attain its present importance until the 19th cent.,
it is pre-eminently a modern city. The most important industrial
products are beer, machinery, and gloves; the manufacture of ob-
jects of industrial art (p. 245) is also notable.
Munich owes its fouadation to the monastery of Tegernsee or
Schaftlarn, which is the origin of the name Muniha and of the monk
in the city's coat-of-arms ('Miinchuer Kindl"). In 115S Duke Henry the
Lion established a market-place and a mint here and built a bridge across
the Isar in order to levy toll on the salt coming from Reicbcnhall and
other places. At the imperial diet held at RatisboH in 1180 Henry was
put under ban, and Bavaria was assigned to Count Palatine Otho of
Wittelsbach. Louis the Severe (1253-94) transferred his residence to
Munich, which obtained municipal rights in 1294. Under Emperor Louis
the Bavarian (1294-1347) the construction of the second city-wall was
begun, which marked the limits of the city down to the 19th cent. ; it
extended from the Isar- Tor on the E. through the Blumen-Str. to the
Karls-Tor on the W., then made a circuit to enclose the Palace on the X.,
and finally followed the Herrn-Str. back to the Isar-Tor. The emperor
also rebuilt the city, which was loyally attached to him, after a fire in
1327 (his tomb is in the Frauen-Kirche , see p. 247). Duke Albert V.
(1550-79) founded the library and the Kuust-Kammer, to which the An-
tiquariura, cabinet of coins, and part of the National Museum owe their
origin. His son, Tn7?«rt»i F. (1579-97), a pupil of the Jesuits, erected the
St. Michaels-Hofkirche or Jesuit church. Maximilian I. (1597-1651), the
first Bavarian Elector (created 1623), renewed the fortifications of the city
in 1619-38, built the Old Palace, and was a diligent collector of the works
of Diirer. In 1620 Munich had 22,000 inhabitants. The central part of
the palace of Nymphenbui'g was built by Barelli for the Savoy princess
Henrietta Adelaide, wife of the Elector Ferdinand Maria (1651-79). Under
Max II. Emmanuel (1679-1726), who from 1704 to 1714 was a refugee at
the court of Louis XIY., began the triumphal progress of the rococo
style, with the erection of Schloss Schleissheim near Munich by Zuccali
and Effner. This progress went on with great brilliance under Charles
Albert (1726-45), afterwards Emperor Charles YIL, as is testified by the
Reiehe Zimmer in the Palace and the Amalienburg in the park of Xymphen-
burg, both due to Fr. CuvilUes. Elector Ma.vimtlian III. Joseph (1745-77)
founded the Academy in 1759, and his successor Charles Theodore of the
Palatinate (1777-99) removed the old fortifications. King Jlaximilian I.
Joseph (1799-1825) contributed materially to the improvement of the
city by the dissolution of the religious houses and the erection of new
buildings. At the beginning of the 19th cent, the number of inhabitants
had risen to 40,000.
The real creator of modern Munich was King Louis I. (1825-48;
d. 1868), who built the Glyptothek and the Old and Xew Piuakotheks,
constructed the Ludwig-Str., and raised the city to the foremost rank as
a school of Q-orman art. The twin tendencies of the age found expression
244 Bonte 33. MUNICH. -^rt History.
here also ; the classical school is represented iu the secular buildings of
Leo von Klenze (1784-1864), for which the indefatigable L. von Schwan-
thaler (1802-48) provided the plastic embellishment, Avhile the influence
of the romantic school produced the modern Romanesque and Gothic
churches hy Gartner, OMmuUer, and Ziebland. — The Maximilian-Str.,
with the old N'ational Museum and with the Maximilianeum filling in the
vista at the end, was laid out by MaonmiUan II. (1848-64) as a pendant
to the Ludwig-Str. — Louis II. (1864-86) displayed his love of art in
the building and adornment of royal palaces outside the city. — In
consequence of the rapid growth of the town, the reign of Prince-Regent
Luitpold (1886-1912), who was succeeded in the regency by his son, now
King Loins III., coincided with a fresh architectural impulse, which
has 'displayed a certain homogeneity of character and an harmonious
adaptation of the new structures to the existing conditions such as has
probably never been excelled in any city. The majority of the new
buildings are elaborate structures in a style developed from Renais-
sance and baroque models; others display Romanesque, Gothic, or
classic forms ; while a third group betrays the endeavour to take into
account modern requirements and materials in a modern and practical
style. Among the best-known architects are G. Neureuther (1811-87;
Technische Hoohschule, Academy of Fine Art) ; Georg von Hauberrisser
(Rathaus, Pauls-Kirche) ; Friedrich von Thiersch (Ursula-Kirche, Justiz-
Palast) ; Heinrich von Schmidt (Maximilians-Kirche) ; Gabriel von Seidl
(1848-1913; Anna-Kirche, Villa Lenbach, Klinstlerhaus, National Museum,
new German Museui») ; Emanuel von Seidl (Augustiner-Ausschank; Palais
Matuschka , Brienner-Str. 46; Tierpark Hellabruun) ; Karl Hocheder
(Miillersches Yolksbad, schools in the Weiler-Str. and at Bavaria-Ring 40,
Martins-Spital, Yerkehrs-Ministerium) ; 3Iax Littinann (Prinzvegenten-
Theater, Hofbrauhaus, Schauspielhaus, Kunstler-Theater) ; Hans Grdssel
(Wald-Friedhof and other cemeteries; schools; orphanage and Heiliggeist-
Spital at Neuhausen; Stadtbauamt) ; Theodor Fischer (hvidges; schools
and Erloser-Kirche at Schwabing; Bismarck Column by the Starnberger
See; Polizei-Direktion).
In the domain of Painting Munich has seen, more than any other
art-centre, the most diverse tendencies in German art expressing them-
selves side by side. The masters of the 'classic' period (Peter von
Cornelius, Buonaventura Genelli, Karl Rottmann, the landscape-painter),
who cheerfully neglected all the technical achievements of the past, and
the 'Nazarenes' , represented at Munich, for a brief period only, by
L. Schnorr von Carolsfeld, were succeeded by the school of W. von Kaul-
bach (1805-1 i), whose art long enjoyed an undeserved reputation. Moritz
von Schioiml (1804-71 ; of A^ienna), who drew his inspiration from popular
tales, and the humorist K. Spitzweg (1805-85) were typical German painters.
Historical painting, introduced from Belgium in 1842, found one of its
most influential champions in Karl von Piloty (1826-86), for many years
the head of the Munich school, which fixed its attention on the lost art
of colouring, based on the studj' of the old masters. At the same time
Munich rivalled Diisseldorf in the development of genre paintings. The
best-known masters of this period are W. Diez (1839-1907). the painter
of 'historical' genre scenes ; Franz Defregger (b. 1835), the creator of
idealized scenes of peasant-life; Griltzner (b. 1846), whose works display
a marked 'literary' interest; and Gabriel von Max (b. 1840 in Prague),
noted for his inclination towards mysticism. The celebrated portrait-
painter Franz von Lenbach (1836-1904) elaborated a scheme of colouring
of his own, based on a study of Titian, Rembrandt, and Velazquez.
Fr. A. von Kaulbach (b. 1850) is another successful painter of portraits.
The realist W. Leibl (1844-1900) occupies a place bv himself. The modern
tendency, introduced from Paris by Fritz von tlhde (1848-1911), which
lays special stress upon technical perfection while recognizing the indi-
vidual liberty of each artist, found eager support in the ^Secession'' (p. 262)
at Munich in 1892; the artists' colony at Dachau (p. 303) owes its existence

to the preference for landscape. Among other living artists we may
note Baron Hugo von Habermann (b. 1849), Albert von Keller (b. 1845),
and Leo Samberger (b. 1861), the portrait-painters; Lvdwig Dill (h. 1848;
now at Carlsruhe), the landscape-painter; H. Ziigel (b. 1850), the eminent
animal -painter; Angela Jank (b. 1868), painter of horses and military
scenes; and Franz Stuck (b. 1863), the 'modern idealist', who is also a
sculptor. — Since the death of W. von Riimann in 1906 the leading
Sculptor of Munich is A. von Hildebrand (b. 1847), whose work is
inspired by antique art. Younger sculptors are Jos. Flossinann (b. 1862),
Hermann Hahn (b. 1868), and Hubert Netzer (b. 1865 ; now at Diisseldorf).
Industrial Art at Munich, after adopting the various historical
styles in turn, has struck out a line for itself; its aim now is the crea-
tion of a German home, founded on the practical and aesthetic require-
ments of the present. Representatives of this school are Riemerschmid,
W. von Beckerath, A. Niemeyer, and other members of the 'Vercinigte
Werkstatten fiir Kunst im Handwerk'. — The well-known comic papers
'Jugend', 'Simplicissimus', and 'Fliegende Blatter' are all published in

a. Karls-Platz. Frauen-Kirche. Marien-Platz. S. Part of the
Inner Town.
To the W. of the inner town lie the Karls-Platz and the Bahnhof-
Platz, two of the chief intersecting points of the tramway system
(p. 237). On the W. side of the Baunhof-Platz (PI. E, 5; //)*is the
Haiipt-Bahnhof {^. 233), built by Graff in 1876-84; on the E. is
the large Warenhaus Tietz, built by Heilniann &Littmann in 1905.
To the N.W. of the station is the extensive Verlcehrs-Ministeriam
(Ministry of Traffic; PI. D 5, //), built in 1905-13 by Hocheder in
the vS. German baroque style, with a dome 235 ft. high and an arch-
way over the Arnulf-Str. — From the Bahuhof -Platz the Priel-
raayer-Str. with the Justiz-Palast (see below), the Schiitzen-Str.,
and the Bayer-Str. with the restaurant of the Mathaser Breiccry
(Xo. 5; p. 235) all lead E. to the Karls-Platz.
On the W. side of the busy Kakls-Platz (PI. E, 5, 6; 77) stand
the Courts of Justice (Justiz-Palasf), an imposing baroque
building by Thiersch, completed in 1897. The most interesting
parts of the interior are the central hall (with its glass dome), the
reception hall, the jury-court, and the library (open in May-Sept,
ou Wed., 12.30-2.30). To the W. are the New Courts of justice,
built by Thiersch (1905) in a Gothic style, with coloured plaster
decoration. — On the N. side of the square, in front of the Courts
of Justice, is the Nornen-Brunnen, by Netzer (1907). Lenbach-
Platz, see p. 249. On the S. side are the pretty Gasteiger-Brunneu
(VHrunnenbuberP), presented by Gasteiger, the sculptor, and the
Protestant Matthaus-Kirche, by Pertsch (1832).
From the E. side of the Karls-Platz we pass through the Karls-
Tor (PI. E, 5, 6; 77) into the inner town. The N'ErHAusEK Strass^e
and its prolongation the Kat'fixgek Strasse, two of the busiest
streets in the city, lead hence E. to the Marien-PIatz (p. 247). On
the left side of the Neuhauser Str., at the corner of the Herzog-
246 Route 33. MUNICH. Frauen-Kirche.
Max-Str., is the Kaafhaas OberpoUinger, erected iu 1905 by Heil-
mann & Littmann. Farther on Qso. 48) is the Bilrgersaal ('St. Cor-
hiuian'; PL E 6, //), a sodality-chapel erected by Viscardi in 1710.
The hall on the ujjper floor contains a large but dilapidated fresco
of the AssiTmption by M. KnoUer (1774).
The Academy of Science (Akademie der Wissenschaften ;
PL E 6, II), in the old Jesuit college, built in 1585-90 by Sustris(?)
in the baroque style, contains important Natural History Col-
lections (adm., see p. 241),
Tlie * Geological and Palxontological Collections on the first floor are
exhibited in nine rooms, the animal fossils being arranged zoologically,
the plants geologically. — The Anthropological and Prehistoric Col-
lections contain many objects from lake-dwellings in the Starnberger See
and at Robenbaueen, and others of the La Tene period, found at Manching
near Ingolstadt. — The *Mineralogical Collection is unequalled for its
complete representation of Alpine minerals. Special collections illustrate
tlie characteristics and crystalline formation of minerals (by the -win-
dows), their chemical formation (in the central cases), their origin (wall-
cases to the right of the door), and their industrial uses (to the left
of the door). Catalogue 2 JC. — The most noteworthy features of the
Zoological Collection on" the second floor are the birds (Sturm collection
of humming-birds), the skeletons, and the extinct species (quagga, great
auk). Guide 50 pf. — The Cabinet of Coins (open for students after
previous application on week-days 10-12.30) contains over 20,000 Greek
coins and also the Bavarian coins and medals formerly in the National
Museum.
Adjoining the Academy rises the *St. Michaels-Hofkirche
(Pl.E, 5, 6, II ; adm., see p. 241 ; sacristan at the back of the church),
formerly a Jesuit church, built in 1583-97 iu the Kenaissauce style
by Friedrich Sustris. Its erection marked an epoch in the history
of Catholic church-building in S. Germany. Between the two portals
on the late-Eenaissance facade is a St. Michael in bronze, by Hubert
Gerhard (1592). The interior, with its grand barrel-vaulting, is
285 ft. in length and 70 ft. in w idth. There are no aisles. In the
third chapel to the right is a good late-Gothic reliquary of SS. Cosmas
and Damian (ca. 1400). On the left, under the fourth arch, is the
*Monumeut of Eugene Beauharnais (d. 1824), Duke of Leuchten-
berg, by Thorvaldsen. The Renaissance choir-stalls have been dis-
figured by painting. The Fall of the Angels, on the high-altar, is
by Chr. Schwarz (d. 1597). In the royal burial-vault under the
choir reposes King Louis II. (1886); adm. 11-12, July-Sept. 11-1
and 4.30-6 (30 pf. ; bell in the Ett-Str.). Church-music, see p. 239.
Farther on, to the left, on the site of the old Mauthalle,
arc the new buildings of the Police Offices (Polizei-Direktion;
PL E, F, 5, 6, 77), by Th. Fischer. Thence the Augustiner-Str. leads
to the left to the —
*Prauen-Kirche (PL F, 6; 77), the cathedral of the Arch-
bishop of Munich and Freising, a red-brick edifice (320 ft. long,
120 it. broad; vaulting 110 ft. high) in the late-Gothic style, erected
by Jorg Ganghofer in 1468-88 and restored in 1858-68. The two
New Rathaus. MUNICH. 33. Route. 247
uncompleted towers, 320 ft. high, covered early in the 16th cent,
with round caps of green copper, are a distinctive feature of Munich.
The N. tower may be ascended on week-days 8-6 (in winter 9-4i,
on Sun. 10-6 (10-4); tickets (40 pf.) from the sacristan, Frauen-
Platz 11, or in the sacristy. A red signal is hung out when tlie
view is good, and a white signal when the Alps are visible. On the
outside walls of the church are many old tombstones.
Interior (adm., see p. 241; music, see p. 239). The nave and aisles
are of equal height, borne by twenty-two octajronal pillars : richly painted
vaulting. The windows, 65 ft. high, are filled with fine stained glas.s.
including the remains (sometimes wrongly arranged) of the old glazing
of the 15th -16lh centuries. On the back of the choir-stalls are carved
wooden figures by Erasmus Grasser (1502). — In the Chapel of the Mater
Dolorosa (1th on the left) are four good bronze reliefs from the studio
of Hans Krumper. — By tlie entrance, under the organ-loft, is the *Mou-
uraent of Emperor Louis the Bavarian (p. 21.3), erected in 1622 by Elector
Maximilian I. after the designs of P. Candid, in dark marble, with figures
and decorations in bronze ; four knights at the corners guard the tomb ; at
the side are statues of the Yfittelsbach princes Albert Y. and William IV.
Inserted in the pedestal is the fine tombstone of red marble (ca. 1490). —
The treasury contains a bust of St. Benno (early 17th cent.) and a chaliic
of the late 16th century.
The Kaufinger Str. (p. 245) ends at the Makie^t-Platz^PI. F, 6 ; //),
which is adorned with the Marien-Sdule, in red marble, erected in
1638 by Elector Maximilian I. to commemorate the victory on the
Weisser Berg near Prague (1620). Enthroned on the column is the
Virgin, the patron-saint of Bavaria; four genii at the corners contend
against a viper, a basilisk, a lion, and a dragon (plague, war, famine,
and heresy). — At the iST.E. corner rises the Finch -Brunnen, in
bronze, designed by Knoll (1866). The figures allude to an old
Munich custom called the 'Metzgerspruug'.
On the N. side of the square is the New Rathaus (PI. F, 6 ; //),
a handsome Gothic edifice designed by Hauberrisser, richly adorned
with sculptures. The E. portion (ofbrick) was completed in 1874,
the W. portion (of stone) in 1906. The facade towards the square
has numerous statues of Bavarian dukes and electors. On the right
is an arcaded balcony in three sections, terminating in a lofty gable;
to the left of it, under a canopy, is a gilded equestrian statue of
Prince-Regent Luitpold, by F. von Miller (1906). On the tower
(280 ft. in height) is a mechanical clock, with jousting and dancing
figures, which play their parts at 11 a.m. and 9 p.m., and chimes.
The third gallery of the tower, 200 ft. higii, commands an admir-
able panorama (adm., see p. 241). A flag is flown when the Alps
are visible. Panorama, with description of the Rathaus, on sale at
the top (60 pf.).
On the second floor arc the Council Chambers, on the left that of
the town-council, on the right that of the magistrates (adm.. see p. 241;
entr. by door No. 208). In the former are a large painting of 'Monachia'
by K. von Piloty and portraits of Louis II. by F. Piloty and Prince-
Regeuf Luitpold by KaiUbach. The magistrates' room is adorned with a
248 ^oute 33. MUNICH. . Peters- Kir ch^.
mural painting by W. Lindenschmit (progress of Munich under Louis I.),

by Lenhach. Splendid carved wooden ceiling, mantelpiece, and chandelier.
— On the ground-floor (entr. in the Diener-Str.) is the RatskeUer
(p. 235).
Room 36 in the W. wing contains the Prince-Regent Luitpold Military
Museum, a collection of Bavarian and captured French arms, founded by-
Bavarian veterans (open daily 10-1 ; adm. 1 JC; entr. in the Prunkhof).
The Old Rathaus (PI. F 6, //), on the E. side of the square,
was erected originally in 1313-27, rebuilt by Jorg Granghofer in
1470-74, and restored in 1862-5. The tower, under which runs a
passage leading to the Tal (see below), is adorned with paintings by
F. Seitz. The banqueting-hall (visitors ring the bell at Burg-Str. 18;
open week-days 8-6, Sun. 10-12) has a vaulted wooden ceiling.
On the sides, beneath the frieze of coats-of-arms (painted after
1476), are ten wooden statuettes of Hungarian Maruska dancers,
by Erasmus Grasser (1480); below are 23 banners of the Munich
guilds (17th-18th cent.).
A few paces to the S. of the Marien-Platz is the Peters-Kirche
(PI. F, 6; //), a long basilica erected in 1181 as the first parish-
church of Munich, but since repeatedly restored and remodelled
(last in 1726-50). The main tower, which dates from 1379-86 (the
spire from ca. 1607), affords a fine panorama (adm. 40 pf., ticket
from the attendant). Inside, to the left of the main entrance, is
the tomb of Ulrich Aresinger (d. 1485), in red marble, while to the
right is that of Balthasar Botschner and his wife, both by Erasmus
Cirasser (1482 and 1505). In the last chapel of the X. aisle is a
reredos of painted sandstone with reliefs, presented by Barthold
Schrenk (ca. 1400). The large high-altar dates from 1730. The
choir-stalls are by J. G. Greif (ca. 1750).
From theMarieu-Platz theWEix-SiRAssE and Theatiner-Str. lead
N. to the Ludwig-Str. (p. 259), while the Dient;r-Strasse leads N.
also to the Max-Joseph-Platz (p. 250). — To the E., passing through
the archway in the tower of the old Rathaus, we reach the wide street
named the Tal (PI. F, 6; 11). Immediately to the right is the
Heilige Geist-Kirche, originally erected in the 15th cent., but
entirely remodelled in 1724-30 and 1885-8. The nave and aisles
are of equal height, and the choir is surrounded with an ambulatory.
Beneath the organ is the admirable brass of Duke Ferdinand of
Bavaria (d. 1608), ascribed to Hubert Gerhard (1589). On the E. the
Tal ends at the Isar-Tor (PI. F, 6; 77), a gate of 1314, arbitrarily
restored in 1833-5, with a fresco by Bernhard Neher (1831) re-
presenting the entry of Emperor Louis the Bavarian after the Battle
of Ampfing. In the Isartor-Platz is the Fortuna-Brunnen. by

Thiersch in 1890.
At the Maximilians-Platz (PL E, F, 5 ; 77). with its fine
gardens, rises the handsome *'Wittelsbach Fountain, erected
by A. von Hildebrand in 1895 as an ornamental termination to
the city aqueduct. From a basin 80 ft. in length and 45 ft. in
width rises a pedestal bearing four masks and the arms of the four
Bavarian races. On the top of this is a basin 18 ft. in diameter,
and above this a smaller basin from which the water issues. On

From the Lenbach-Platz (p. 249) the Pfaxdhaus-Strasse (Pl.E,
5; II) leads E. to the Promenade-Platz. Immediately to the right
is the Herzog-Max-Burg (PL E, 5; II), built after 1590 by Duke
William V. and named after his son; it is now occupied by various
offices. To the left stand the Dreifaltigkeits-Kirche, a baroque
church by Viscardi (1714), and the Kunstgewerbe-Haus (PI.
E, F, 5, //; No. 7), built in the Renaissance style in 1877 by

At Pranner-Str. 20 is the Landtags -Gehdude, or House of the
Bavarian Diet (PL F, 5; 77), rebuilt by Siebert in 1885 in the
German Renaissance style.
The Maffei-Str., running E. from the Promenade-Platz, leads
to the Theatiner-Str. (PL F 5, 77; Ludwig-Str., see p. 259). Farther
on we follow the Perusa-Str. to the Max-Joseph-Platz (PI. F, 5 ; 77),

— To the S. of the post office is the Alter Hof(P\. F, 6; //), begun
in 1253 under the name oi Alte Feste or Ludwigshurcj, the earliest
residence of the Bavarian dukes. It has been repeatedly altered
and enlarged, and now contains the Eentamt (revenue-office).
On the E, side of the Max-Joseph-Platz begins the Maxi>iiliax-
Strasse (PL F, G-, 6; //), 1 M. in length and 25 yds. in breadth,
much frequented in the afternoon. It was constructed by King
Max II. in 1854, and its buildings were intended to inaugurate a new
German style of architecture; the result, however, was an unhappy
juxtaposition of Gothic and Renaissance forms. The vista is closed
by the Maximilianeum beyond the Isar. First, on the right, is the
Mint (Mlinze; PI. F, 5, 6, 77), a part of the old stables^ rebuilt by
by Biirklein in 1859. The Turnierhof, or old tilding-yard (entr.
Hof-Graben 4), built by Eckl in 1563, is surrounded by three tiers
of arched galleries, and is one of the earliest Renaissance structures
in Munich. About 2 min. farther on a cross-street leads to the
right to the 'Platzl', with the Hofbrauhaus (PL F 6, 77; p. 235.,
reconstructed by Heilmann & Littmann in 1897. — At Maximilian-
Str. 34-35 is the Schauspielhaiis (PL F 6, 77; p. 239), erected by

The street expands into a square ('Forum') relieved with gardens;
on the left is the JRegieriuif/s-Gebaude, or Government Offices (PL
F, G, 6, 77; 1858-64), on the right the German Museum. In the
centre rise four statues : to the left, General Deroy (killed at Poloczk
in 1812), by Halbig(1856), and Count Bum ford (p. 299). by Zum-
busch (1868). Opposite are statues of the philosopher Schellinrj
(d. 1854), byBrugger(1861), and the optician i^m«<7?Ao/er(d. 1826J,
by Halbig (1861). At the E. end of the square is the statue of King
Maximilian IL (d. 1864), by Zumbusch (1875).
The *Germaii Museum (PL F, G, 6, 77; tramways Nos. 4
and 12), founded in 1903 and temporarily accommodated in the
Old National Museum building by Riedel (1858-65), includes a
collection of originals, models, designs, etc., illustrating the deve-
lopment of natural science and the technical arts. Since 1905 a
part of the collections has been housed in the old Barracks of the
Heavy Cavalry (p. 253). Xew building, see p. 254. Though naturally
of prime interest to students, the exhibits are arranged as clearly
as possible for the sake of the ordinary visitor. All the objects bear
labels, and many of the models may be set in motion. Adm.. see
p. 240; guide 1,^/1, short description 40 pf. Experts are ready
(9-1 and 2.30-6,30) to conduct visitors round either of the two
sections (about 2 hrs.; 1-3 pers. 6 ^/l, each pers. more 1 t.^); also
at 8.15 p.m. on week-days (except Sat.). To the left of the entrance
is a refreshment room. On the grouud-floor, to the left, is the exhi-
bitioa of the Miinchuer Kiinstler-Genossenschaft (adm., see p. 242;.

The Alte Residenz was built in 1598-1616 under Elector
Maximilian I., probably by Hans Reifenstuel. The fagade is painted
with imitations of architectural features. Between the two baroque
portals of red marble is a bronze statue of the Virgin, which, like
the allegorical figures over the portals, is by Hans Krumpcr. The
brazen lions flanking the portals are by Grerhard Huber. We pass
through the left portal and enter the Kaiserhof, also with imitation
stone-work. Thence we may proceed to the Apothekenhof (see below).
By the right portal we enter the Kapellenhof. The passage thence
to the Bruunenhof contains 'Duke Christopher's Stone'' (with ex-
planatory inscription). To the right of the Kapellenhof is the
fine Grottenhof, constructed in 1580-90 under William V., with a
small garden and a shell-grotto; in the centre is the bronze Perseus
Fountain, designed by P. Candid, surrounded by eight putti with

erected by Louis I. 'to the Bavarian army', marks the termination
of the Ludwig-8tr. Begun by Gflrtucr in 1843 and completed by
Metzger in 1850, it is an imitation of the triumphal arch of Con-
stantine at Rome. It is crowned with a 'Bavaria' (18 ft. high) in a
quadriga drawn by lions, designed by M. "Wagner and executed by
Brugger. Over the eight Corinthian columns are figures of Victory;
on the walls, reliefs representing warlike exploits (below) and the

The *Propyl8ea (PI. E, 5; 77), a magnificent gateway in the
style of the Propylcea at Athens, with Doric columns outside and
Ionic inside, was designed by Leo von Klenze (1846-62). The re-

the (xreek war of independence and the reign of Otho I., the son of
Louis I., elected king of Greece in 1832 and expelled in 1862. On
the inner walls are inscribed the names of the heroes of the war
and of famous philhellenists.
The *Glyptotliek (PI. E, 4, 5; 77) contains ancient sculptures
collected chiefly by Louis I. when crown-prince, in 1805-16. The

building in G ermany , is externally in the Ionic style, with a jDor-
tico of eight columns; the interior is vaulted, and tends to the
Konian style. The group in the tympanum , designed by AYaguer,

sance style. On the S. side, on the attic above, are twenty-four
statues of celebrated painters from sketches by Schwauthaler. The
gallery contains over 1000 pictures, arranged by periods aud
schools, in thirteen rooms and twenty-three cabinets. Each picture
is labelled. Catalogue (1913) 1 ^, or bound with 200 illustrations

the rooms to which they belong, in order to preserve the historical
sequence.
As early as the 16th aud 17th centuries the Bavarian princes were
noted for their love of art. Elector Maximilian I. in particular was an
admirer of Diirer, and secured at Nuremberg several of that master's
works. In 1805 this collection was enriched bj- the removal to Munich
of the celebrated Diisseldorf gallery , founded by the Electors of the
Palatinate. The numerous Xetherlandish works of the 17tli cent. , in-
cluding the fine examples of Rubens, formed part of the Diisseldorf Gal-
lery. The third constituent part of the Pinakothek is the Boisseree

collection , being works of the Lower Rhenish school rescued by the
brothers Sulpiz and Melchior Boisseree and their friend Bertram from
churches and convents suppressed at Cologne in 1805-10. Purchases in
the Netherlands added some important works of the Van Eyck school.
The addition of this valuable collection to the Pinakothek in 1827 placed
it in the foremost rank as a gallery for the study of northern art. Under
King Louis I. the gallery was considerably extended by purcliases in
Italy and by the addition of tlie Wallerstein collection in 1828.
The pre-Raphaelite Italian schools are scantily represented in
Munich; the most important examples are the Annunciation by Fra
Filippo Lippi (Room VIII, No. 1005); Sandro Botticelli's Pietii
(Room YIII, 1010); an altar-piece by Ghirlandaio (R. VIII, 1011-
1013); the Madonna by Signorelli (R. VIII, 1561); Cima da
Conegliano's Madonna (Cabinet XX, 1033); Francia's Madonna
(R. VIII, 1039j; and Perugino's Vision of St. Bernard (R. VIII,
No. 1034). The finest of the works by Raphael is undoubtedly the
Madonna of the Tempi family (Cabinet XIX, 1050), painted in his
Florentine period; the contemporary Holy Family of the Cauigiani
family (R. VIII, 1049) has suffered from cleaning, the angels at the
top having entirely vanished. There exist several replicas of the
Madonna della Teuda (Cabinet XIX, 1051 ; Roman period) at Turin
and elsewhere, but the Munich example is considered the best.
Not one of the Avorks ascribed to Correggio is authenticated. The
best of the many examples of the Venetian school are Titian's
Charles V. (R. IX, 1112), his Christ crowned with thorns (R. IX,
1114), andPalma Fecc^io'sPortrait of himself (Cabinet XX, 1107).
Murillo's exquisite Beggar -boys (R. XI) are sure of attention.
Early Flemish paintiug is seen to the greatest advantage in Rogier
van "der Weyden's Triptych (R. II, 101-103) and St. Luke (R. II,
100), Memling's Seven Joys of Mary (R. I, 116), and the altar-
pieces and triptych by Dierick Bouts (R. I, 107-111). The Cologne
works of the 15th and 16th centuries will chiefly attract the pro-
fessional eye, but several works of the Svrabiau and Franconian
schools are of general interest and high artistic importance. Pro-
minent among these stands Holbein the Elder s altar-piece with
St. Sebastian (Room of the Altar-pieces, 209-211). Diirer's Four
Apostles, or the 'Four Temperaments' (R. Ill, 247, 248\ the pain-
ter's 'testament as artist, as man, as patriot, and as Protestant',
deserve the closest study, especially the magnificent St. Paul in the
famous white robe, unrivalled in its plastic modelling. Other im-
portant works bv Diirer are his Portrait of himself (Cabinet III,
239), the Portrait of 0. Krell (Cabinet III, 236), and the Paum-
gartner altar-piece (R. Ill, 240-242). The Battle of Arbela
(Cabinet V, 290) bv Alhrecht Altdorfer, the Crucifixion (Cabinet III.
267) by Barthel Beham (d. 1540), the Portrait of Count Palatine
Philip'(Cabinet III, 286) by Hans Baldung Gricn, and the SS. Eras-
mus and Maurice (R. Ill, '281) by Matthias Grilnewald arc also
deserving of notice.

Next to Antwerp aud Vienna, Muuicli best shows the versatility
of Ruhens. Among the seventy-four pictures catalogued here under
his name are several school -pieces and much mediocre work, but
they include also several of his finest creations. The vast range of
his genius may be estimated by glancing from the stupendous Last
Judgment to the Lion-hunt, from the Battle of the Amazons to the
Children Avith festoons of fruit, from the sketches for the Medici
pictures in the Louvre to the Bacchanalian scenes. Rubens's best
pupil Van Dyck is also well represented by several portraits
(R.VII and Cabinet XIII). The Descent from the Cross (Cabinet VIII,
326) is the finest of the eleven examples of Remhrandt. The can-
vases of Adrian Brouwer (Cabinet XV) , notable for their rarity,
the genre-pieces of Terburg and Metsu, aud the humorous subjects
of Jan jSteen also deserve attention. Of the works of the Italian
painters of the 17th aud 18th cent. G. B. Tiepolo's large Adoration
of the Magi (R. X, 1271) should not be missed. The Pieta of
N. Poussin (R, X, 1321) is a work of great beauty.
From the entrance we ascend the staircase to the left. On the
landing at the top are portraits of the founders and enrichers of

picture is full of dramatic power. The head of the saint is well in-

The panel with SS. Paul and Mark is the finer of the two. St. Paul is
one of the most majestic figures ever conceived by the master, and
appears as if just on the point of battling for his "faith with word w
blow. A great deal more labour in the details has been bestowed upon
St. Paul than upon the otlier figures, and it is also the best preserved.

This remarkable series of scenes from the history of Christ (Xos. 326-

the Netherlands. The finest of the series is the Entombment, which is
painted with a broad and vigorous touch, and is of ample, dry, and granu-
lated impasto. The colouring in general is sombre, and in the back-
ground and tlie figures in the foreground there are shades of brown which
recall the Spanish colourists. A powerful effect is produced by the group
on which tlie high light falls, where the colours have been laid on with
great freedom. — 'Rembrandt; sa Vie et ses (Euvres\ by C. Vosjn<ier.

'Very happily and with a proper feeling of his own powers, Rubens
has here given only a corner in the background to the Blessed, whose
heavenly calm and ethereal existence he was incapable of expressing;
and he has devoted the whole of the remaining space to the fall of the
Damned, his true sphere. . . . The whole produces an admirable efifect
by the broad manner in which the light is managed. The colouring is
powerful, but not extravagant; the treatment particularly easy and
clever'. — 'Life of Rubens'', by Prof. Waagcn.

**742. Battle of the Amazons.
'The admirable effect of the whole is increased by a decided and
masterly arrangement of tlie light; the colouring is forcible without
being overcharged, and the execution of the principal parts must be called
careful for Rubens. In the whole range of modern art there exists no
other historical battle-piece worthy of being compared with Raphael's
Battle of Constantine: and in fact it has the advantage over the latter
in the well-planned concentration of interest, aiul in tlie contrast afforded
by the male and female figures.' — Waayen.

'It is impossible to conceive better arrangement, greater harmony of
lines, or more boldness of movement. Truth in the reproduction of na-
ture in momentary action is combined with fine contrasts of light and

Both in tone and execution this beautiful work is closely allied to
the celebrated Madonna of the House of Orleans. The colours are laid
on thinly, with a somewhat fuller impasto in the whitish light. It is
a true touch of nature which makes the mother accompany the close
embrace with a look of tender affection, while the child receives Ifie
caress more mechanically and gazes straight out of tlie picture. —

To the N. of the Hof-G-arten (p. 258) begins the Prixzregentex-
Strasse (PI. F, G, 5; //), which leads to the Isar, skirting the S.
margin of the English G-arden (p. 299) and passing handsome new
buildings. On the N. side of the street (No. 1) is the National Museum.
The *Bavarian National Museum (PI. Gr 5, II; tramways
Nos. 2 and 30), founded by King Max II. in 1854 and formerly
housed in the Maximilian -Str. fp. 251), was transferred in 1900
to the present extensive buildings, erected from the designs of
Gabriel von Seidl. The imposing exterior, by a skilful blending
of forms characteristic of the various stages in the development of
German architecture, suggests the nature of the museum. In the
historical section each room reflects in its fitting up the period to
which its contents belong, while the special collections are exhibited
in well-lighted rooms in a modern style. The various original ceil-
ings deserve special attention. Adm., see p. 240; the courtyards are
open May-Sept. only. Good guide (1911), 50 pf., with illustrations

takes three hours.
The 63 rooms of the Gtrocnd Floor contain chronologically arranged
collections illustrating the art-history of Bavaria. On the First Floor

architectural fragments, mostly Roman and mediaeval, incl. the so-called
Huns' Column of Miltenberg (p. 112: Court I). In Court IV, to the left
of the vestibule, are works of the Renaissance, incl. a colossal bronze
group (Mars, Venus and Cupid) by Hubert Gerhard (1589). Court VII,
entered from the vestibule or from R. 32, contains rococo works.

Nymphenhiirg , on the W. side of the city, and incorporated
with it in 1900, deserves a visit for the sake of the Anialieuburg
and the park.
The Schloss (PI. A, 3; /;, an extensive gronp of buildings with
a facade 660 yds. in length, was erected in 1668-1728. The central
structure, with its five stories, was built by Barelli, while Viscardi
added the arcades in 1702, and Etlner the wings in 1718. The
large hall was tastefully decorated in the German rococo style by
J. B. Zimniermaun (1756). The houses forming a crescent on the
E., and enclosing gardens and a pond with a fountain, date from
the time of Elector Hax Joseph III.
To the W. of the Schloss is a large *Park (comp. inset-map,
p. 233), laid out partly in the French, partly in the English style.
Behind the central building is a large flower-bed by Fr. Girard. To
the N. of this are fine green-houses, in which the Brazilian plants
arc noteworthy. Behind these is the Magdalenen- Kapelle '^gra-
tuity), built by Effner in 1725 as a hermitage for Max Emmanuel.
To the S. of the flower-bed is the '^Amalienharg, a small hunting-
lodge by Cuvillies (1734-9), the interior decoration of which is one
of the best efforts of the rococo period. In the remoter part of the
park are two large lakes. On the S. is the Badenburg, by Efther
(1718), Avith stucco decoration and a ceiling -painting; on the N.
is the Pagodenbitrg, also by Eflfner (1716). At the W. end of the
canal is a marble cascade.
In the N.E. part of the crescent is the royal Porcelaia Factory,
founded at Ncndcck in 1717, transferred to Nyinphcnhinir in 1758. and
now in private hands. It is open on Mon.-Fri. 8-12 and 1.30-6, on Sat.

i. Environs of Munich.
*Schleissheiin, situated to the N. of Munich on the Ratisbon
line (p. 233; IV/^M.. in ^2 li^'-J 1 '^ O'' ^0 pf.), consists of three
palaces. About 5 min. E. of the station (1590 ft.) is the Altes
Schloss, begun in 1597 under William V., and now the estate-office
and a cavalry remount depot (restaurant). Beyond, to the E., is the
Neues Schloss, and 20 min. farther on is the Lustheim.
The Neues Schloss (custodian in the left wing), with a facade
360 yds. long, was erected for Elector Max Emmanuel in 1701-4 by
E. Zuccali in a style recalling the Palace of Versailles. The interior
was admirably fitted up by EfFuer in 1715-22, and illustrates the
transition from the baroque to the German rococo style. Most of
the ceiling-paintings are by Amigoni, the stucco embellishments of
the fine staircase by Dubut.
The Schlo.ss contains a Picture Gallery, with 1400 works. It is
open free daily, cxeept Mon., from Easter till Oct. 31st (ground-floor 10-12,
upper floor 2-6, both open 10-12 and 2-6 on Sun.), and from Nov. to Easter
on application to the attendants. Catalogue (1913), 1 JC. Rooms I-XT
(left), on the ground-floor, contain the early Netherlandish and German
schools, while R. XIII-XYIII (right) are devoted to the Italian schools.
On the upper floor are the later German, Dutch, and Flemish works,
portraits, and the Wittelsbach ancestral gallery. The S. pavilion contains
the modern works.
Behind the palace are fountains and gardens extending to Lust-
heim, a small Schloss built by Zuccali in 1685-90, and containing
pictures (key kept by the forester in the park, to the right).
About 5 M. to the W. of Schleissheim, on the railway to In-
golstadt (p. 227; 11 M., in V., hr.; 95 or 40 pf.), lies Dachau
(1590 ft.; Hot. Ziegler, with veranda affording a good view ; Moor-
had Dachau, P. from 6 c^), a town Avith 5800 inhab. on the Amper.
Dachau is the head-quarters of a colony of landscape-painters, who
draw their inspiration mainlv from the Dachauer Moos (p. 227).
About V^br. W. of the station are the loftily situated Church (1624)
and the district-offices, whence we reach the Schloss in 2 min. by
ascending to the left. The latter contains the district -museum,
a museum of popular art, and a gallery of modern paintings (adm.
daily 9-5; 30 pf.). Behind the Schloss is the Hof- Garten, com-
manding a fine view of Dachau, Munich, the surrounding plain,
and the distant mountains.

reached from the Karls-Platz by tramway No. 29 (p. 238;, is the
starting-point for a visit to the churches of Pipping and Bluten-
burg, which possess considerable artistic interest. Local railway
from Pasing to Herrsching, see p. 307.
The small church of Pipping, 10 min. N. of Pasing, was built
in 1478-9. The interior has remained unchanged, and, with its old
stained glass, altars, and carved ceiling and galleries, affords a
charming picture of a late-Gothic country-church of the 15th century.
About 1/4 hr. N. of Pipping lies the old hunting-lodge of Bluten-
burg, now a convent-school. The chajjel (gratuity 50 pf.) in the N.
wall, built in 1488 under Duke Sigismund, contains a high -altar
and two side-altars of 1491, with paintings of the Munich school;
fine wooden ^Figures of the Apostles, the Virgin, and the Eisen
Christ, of the same period; and stained glass of 1497 with scenes
from the Passion and arms of the Wittelsbach family.
On the right bank of the Isar, above the Reichenbach bridge
(PI. F7, /;p. 302), begin the pretty Isar- Auen, through which
paths lead up the river past the Wittelsbach bridge (PI. E, 8; /)
and under the railway (fine view of Thalkirchen, p. 325). Farther on
we pass the Tierpark Hellabrunn Qd. 302), at the end of which, on

Fiissen (2580 ft.), a small towu of 5100 iuhab., with a large
rope-factory, pleasantly situated ou the left bank of the Lech, is
a frequented summer resort. It is dominated by a castle erected
by the Bishops of Augsburg late in the 15th cent., restored under
King Louis I., and now occupied by the district-court. Below it
are the abbey-church of St. Magnus, erected in 1701-17, with an
early-Romanesque crypt beneath the E. choir, and the Benedictine
abbey of St. Mang, founded in 629 (now private property). About
3 min. from the gate in the town-wall between the castle and the
church is a point commanding a fine view. — About 10 min. W.
of Fussen is the small sulphur bath of Fanlenhach.
On the right hank of the Lech, a few hundred paces above the
bridge, a path with Stations of the Gross ascends from the church to
(1/2 111"-) the *Kalvarienberg (3130 ft.), commanding a beautiful view.
A path leads hence past the Schwan-See direct to (1 hr.) Hohenschivan-gau.
— From Fussen to the (3'/o hrs.) Falkenstein, sec p. 812.
The Road from Fijssex to Hohexschwangau (3 M. ; motor-

the right bank of the Lech. At the fork it keeps to the right, pass-
ing the (1 2 111'-) Cafe Rupprecht and the Hotel Alterschrofen,
and leads through the park, skirting the Schlossberg, to (\,2 li^'-)
Hohenschwangau. — Pedestkiaxs (1^ ^hr.) follow the road to Reutte
(p. 317), to the right beyond the bridge, for 5 min., then ascend
the path to the left on the slope of the Kalvarienberg, which leads
past the (7 min.) view-point 'Kanzel', and passes through woods to
(6 min.) the 'Kunig-Strasse' (vehicles forbidden). "VVe now descend
gently to the left (straight on to the Alpeuroseu-Weg, see below).
After 18 min. we pass through a deer-fence and obtain our first
glimpse of the Schwan-See, with Hohenschwangau to the right and
Neuschwanstein to the left. Before reaching the Schwan-See
(2590 ft.) we follow the path to the right to the (25 min.) col, where
the Alpenrosen-Weg joins us on tlie right, and to the (12 min.) village

bluisli-grecn * Alp-See, which is girdled with fiue woods, while the
steep crags of the Pilgerschrofen rise above its S. end. Good paths
make the circuit of the lake (1^4 hr.). Opposite the Alpenrose
begins the 'Fiirsten-Strasse' (p. 317), from which the road to Schloss
Hohenschwangau diverges to the right after 3 min. The footpath
to the Schloss ascends opposite the Hotel Liesl (5 min.).
*Schloss Hohenschwangau (2840 ft.; adm., see p. 315;
visit lasts about 40 min.), formerly called Schwanstein, originally
belonged to the house of Guelph, but in 1567 passed to the Dukes
of Bavaria. It was sold for a trifling sum in 1820, and in 1832 was
purchased by King Max II. of Bavaria, then crown -prince, who
caused the ruin to be reconstructed and decorated in the interior
with frescoes from German legend and history by Schwind, Linden-
schmit, etc. The castle commands charming views of the plain,
Neuschwanstein, and the Alp-See. It was the favourite residence
of King Louis II.
Opposite the ascent to Hohenschwangau, near the Hotel Liesl,
begins the road to (Y2 ^^'■) Neuschwanstein, from which (5 min.)
the road to the Blockenau (p. 317) diverges to the right; 6 min.
farther on (opposite the path from the Hotel Schwansee) a steep
footpath ascends on the right to the Jugend; and 12 min. farther
on a bridle-path diverges to the right, near a stall on the left side
of the road, to the Jugend and the Marieu-Briicke (p. 317). The
road next passes the Schloss-Restauration and in 8 min. reaches —
*Schloss Neuschwanstein (3165 ft.), built by King Louis II.
in 1869-86 on the site of the ruins of Vorder-Hohenschwangau, and
beautifully situated on a precipitous rock. The castle, built of marble
in the Romanesque style by Dollmann, Riedel, and Hofraann after
the designs of Chr. Plank, is planned after the style of the Wart-
burg, but on a much larger scale. Adm., see p. 315; the visit takes
1 hr. The castle is splendidly fitted up, and its windows command
beautiful views of Hohenschwangau and the Alp-See to the W., and
of the profound gorge of the Pollat and its waterfall, spanned by
the Marien-Briicke, to the S.
The imposing Palas, to the right of tlie forecourt, has four stories :
the ground -floor contains the offices, the first floor is occupied by the
attendants, the second is unfinished, and the royal apartments are on
the third. Visitors ascend to the third floor by a staircase of 96 steps
in the main tower, 195 ft. high. The landing at the top is adorned with
frescoes by Hauschild (Legend of Sigurd). To the left we pass through
the AdjutanVs Roo^n to the King-s Study, with scenes from the story
of Tannhauser bj'' Aigner; and thence through the stalactite grotto to
the Winter Garden, a balcony commanding a view of the plain. Xext
follow the Sitting Room, with pictures from the Lohengrin legend by
Hauschild; the Dressing Room, with^scenes from the lives of Walter
von der Vogelweide and Hans Sachs by Ille ; the Gothic Bedchamber,
with the story of Tristan and Isolde by Spiess ; the Oratory, with
scenes from the life of St. Louis by Hauschild (fine view of the Pollat
valley from the balcony). The Dining Hall is embellished with scenes
to Imst. WEISSHAUS. 36. Route. 317
from the Wartburg under the Landgrave Hermann, by F. Piloty. The
antechamber leads back to the landing, whence we enter the Throne
Room, with pictures by Hauschild, and an open loggia. — Hauschild has
also adorned the landing at the top of the staircase on the fourth floor
with 12 paintings from the story of Gudrun. On this floor is the Fest-
Saal or Sanger- Saal , 'JO ft. long, with pictures from "Wolfram vou
Eschenbach's Parzival by Spiess. Munsch. and Piloty.
A footpath, divergiug to the left from the road at the X. angle
of the castle, leads W. round tlie castle to the bridle-path men-
tioned on p. 316. [Before the latter is reached (4 min.), a footpath
descend.s to the left into the Pollat-Schlm-lit ^ where we have a
good view of the castle and of the Pdllat-Fall 180 ft. high).] We
ascend by the bridle-path and in 5 min. reach a point whence two
footpaths diverge; one, to the right, leading down to the (1 min.)
*Juge}td (2950 ft.), a clearing in the wood commanding a charming
view of Hoheuschwangau and the Alp-8ee; the other, to the left,
ascends to the (4 min.) ^Marien-Briiclie., 140 ft. long, spanning
the gorge of the Pollat at a height of 295 ft. above the waterfall
and affording the best view of Xeuschwanstein. Eetnrning from
the bridge, we take the path to the left, which brings us in 2 min.
to the BlOckeiian road , at which also the bridle-path ends (to the
village of Hohenschwangau by this road, *'o hr.).
From Hohenschwangau an attractive route leads viii the Blockenau
and SchiUzenateig to (S'/^ hrs.) tlie Hotel Ammerwald (p. 324). Thence

bank of the Alp-See, or the paths leading past tlie 'Pindar-Platz' (a rocky
projection with a view of the lake), to the W. end of tlie lake, and then
return to the road. We next pass the (3/4 hr.) 'Cordonisten-Haus' on the
Austrian frontier and descend in windings (short-cuts) to the (V4 hr.)
Hotel ziim SchluA-en (well spoken of), on the road from LTuter-Pinswang
to Pflach, which we follow to the left to (1 hr.) Pflach (p. 312).

Briicke, 2^/^ M.) leads up the right bank of the Lech to (7 min.) a
narrow ravine (on the left bank a bust of King Max II.. on the right
a war-monument). From the iron Konig-Max-Stei/ a fine view of"
tlie fall is obtained. We then cross the (5 min.) tSc/nrarz-Briiche

marsh and leads via Ried and Orf along the Ruhr-See (now drained).
461/2 M. Kochel (Hot. Prinz Ludwig, R. 2-3^/; Stoger), the
terminus of the railway, separated by a hill from the lake. A bronze
statue in the village commemorates Bcdthasar Maier, the 'Smith
of Kochel', who fell in the Battle of Sendlingen fighting against the
Anstrians (1705; comp. p. 300). Near the lake (12 min. from the
station) is the Kur- Hotel Bad Kochel (open in summer only:
R. l\.,-4,^//), with a spring and a large garden by the lake. The
Koehel-See (1970 ft.), 3-^ 4 M. long, 2^ o M. broad, and 215 ft.
deep, is fed by the Loisach, and is bounded on the S. by the Joch-
berg, Herzogstand, and Heimgarten. Fine walks round the lake.
The pavilion on the hill near Bad Kochel affords a good view.
Opposite Kochel, at the X.W. oiul of the lake (1 hr. ; motor-omn. in
20 min.. .')0 pf. : motor-boat in y.jhv., t>0 pf.), lies the pleasant village of
Schlehdorf (20i.'3 ft. ; Kloster-Brauerei, Heimgarten). The Herzogstand

The *Herzogstand (5680 ft.) presents an easy ascent of 21/2-3 hrs.
(guide nunecessaiy). From Urfeld a footpath ascends to the (2 hrs.)
Herzoi/sfand-Hauser (5165 ft. ; bed 3 Jl), V2 hr. below the .summit, which
commands an admirable view of the mountains as far as the Tauern,
and of the plain. Beyond the Herzogstand-Hauser a narrow path to the
right, affording at first a view of the Walchen-See and the mountains,
descends to the hamlet of Walchensee in 2 hrs. Descent to Schlehdorf,

Bad Tolz (2220 ft. at the station), a town of 5500 inhab.,
(jrettily situated on the Isar at the point where it issues from the
mountains, consists of the old town on the right bank, with many
frescoed houses, and of the batbs quarter on the left bank. The
springs contain iodine, soda, and sulphur, and are used both for
bathing and drinking; they were discovered in 1846 on the slope of
the Blomberg and are conducted to the town in pipes. — From the
station we follow the Bahnhof-Str. to (10 min.) the broad Markt-Str.,
the chief street of the old town. In front of the Rathaus is a war
monument (1887). The Rathaus contains the Historical Museum,
open on Mon., Wed., and Fri. 4-6 (20 pf.; at other times 50 pf.).
To the S. of the Markt-Str. is the Parish Church, a handsome Gothic
building of the late 15th cent., restored in 1906. To the N. of the
Markt-Str. rises the Kalvarienherg (2325 ft.), with a pilgrimage-
church and the Leonhardi-Kapelle (festival on Nov. 6th). It affords
a fine view of the Isar valley, with the long Benediktenwand and
the conical Kirchstein forming the background to the S.W.
The baths quarter, formerly called Krankenheil, with its hand-
some gardens, contains the chief hotels, the Kurhaus (under con-
struction), the Badehaus, the Kur-Garten, the Kouversations-Haus,
and the Wandelbahn. — To the W., on the Kocliel road, is the
Zollhaus (inn, with baths); on a hill to the left stands the Alpen-
Hotel Kogel, with a view. — Bad Tolz is adjoined by extensive
woods, affording pleasant walks.
From Bad Tolz to the Walchen-See there are two roads. (1) Via
KocHKL (20 M., 7 hrs.' walk; motor-omn., see p. 328). The road leads
W. past the Blockhaus, whence we may ascend the (li/^hr.) Blombery

Tegernsee (2390 ft.), a charmingly situated village of 1900
inhab., with many villas, is a favourite summer and winter resort.
The Schloss, a Benedictine abbey from 719 to 1803, belongs to
Duke Louis William of Bavaria; the N. wing contains a brewery.
Above the portal of the church is a marble relief (1457) represent-
ing the princely founders of the abbey.
About 8 min. from the S.E. corner of the Schloss we may ascend
the steps on the left, passing the monument of the poet Carl Stieler
(1842-85), to the (20 min.) Grosses Parapluie (2625 ft.), which commands
a beautiful view of the upper lake.
On the W. bank, opposite Tegernsee, lies Wiessee, with iodine and

The Road to the Achen-See passes the sulphur - baths of
Schwaighof and crosses the Rottach to (2 IVf.) Rottach (see above).
About V/\ M. farther on we cross the Weissach, the valley of
which we now ascend to (5 M.) Scharling. The valley contracts
near the village of (6 M.) Krenth (2580 ft.; Hot. Post), to the right
of which rises the conical Leonhardstein (4765 ft.). On the left
is (\/4 hr.) the prettily situated Hotel Rainer Alpe, about 12 min,
beyond which a road to the left diverges to (10 min.) —

From Bad Kreuth we cross the Weissach to the W. and rejoin
the main road. The latter gradually ascends along the wooded
Weissach-Tal, passing the (10 V2 ^■) Hotel Bayerwald and the
(I2V2 M.) hamlet of Glashiitte (2925 ft.; inn), with the Bavarian
custom-house oiStuben. Beyond the [1?,^ j ^'M.) Stuben-Alp{^Q^b ft.)
the road descends through profound ravines, and in the once forti-
fied Achen Pass (2875 ft.) crosses the Tyrolese frontier. On the
right diverges the road to Fall in the Isar valley (p. 330). — The
Austrian custom-house is just short of the (17 M.) village of Achen-
wald (2695 ft.; Hot. Traube). The road then ascends along the
Achen or Walchen, the outlet of the Achen -See. To the left rise

The *Achen-See (3025 ft.), 51/2 M. long, 2/3 M. broad, and
430 ft. deep in places, dark-blue in colour, is the finest and largest
lake in N^. Tyrol. At the 'N. end of the lake are Mayer's Hotel
(1 K 60 ^-3 K) and the (23 M.) Hotel Seholastika (burned down
in 1913), the terminus of the motor-omnibus. About 25 niin. farther
on is the Hotel Achenseehof. From each of these three hotels the
Unniitz (6815 ft.; superb view) may be ascended without difficulty
in 3 hrs. The road continues along the E. bank of the Achen-See
to (2872 M.) Buchau, at the S.E. end of the lake, V/^ M. from
Maurach station (see below). — It is preferable, however, to cross
the lake by boat (steamer, see p. 330; rowing-boat from Seholastika
to Pertisau in 1 hr.). The Pertisau (*Hot. Fiirstenhaus, belonging
to the Benedictine abbey of Fiecht, R. 1 ^6 20-2 JC 70 pf., D.

Berchtesgaden (1865 ft.), with 2900 inbab., is a cbarmingly
situated summer resort, visited also for wiuter-sports. Down to
1803 it was tbe seat of a small ecclesiastical priucipality (founded
in 1108). Tbe bandsome old abbey is now a royal Schloss. Tbe
Stifts-Kirche bas a Romanesque W. end and an elegant Gotbic
cboir dating from after 1283; tbe nave was remodelled at tbe end
of tbe 15tb cent, and tbe towers were renewed in 1865. Tbe cboir-
stalls are Gotbic; tbe sacristy contains a Romanesque boly-water
basin adorned witb reliefs; in tbe late-Romanesque cloisters are in-
teresting tombstones. In tbe centre of tbe village is tbe Post-Parl',
witb a reading-room (relief-map of tbe Bercbtesgaden district). Tbe
Luifpoldhain, in front of tbe Royal Villa to tbe S. of tbe town,
contains a bronze statue of Prince-Regent Luitpold, by F. von Miller
(1893). Fine view: to tbe left tbe Scbwarzort, Hober Goll, Hobes
Brett, and Jenner; in tbe background tbe Stubl-Gebirge and ScbOn-
feldspitze; to tbe rigbt tbe Watzmann and Hocbkalter. N"ear tbe
station are tbe Royal Salt Works. Tbe Schnitzer-Museum contains
furniture and carvings (open 8-1 ajid 2.30-7 ; 30 pf.) and an historical
collection (30 pf.).
The Salt Mine (1730 ft.) is reached from the market-place in 20 min.
by descending the Bergwerks-Str. to the Breitwiesen-Briicke across the
Ache, and then following the right bank (local railway in fi min., see
p. 345). The visit to the mine takes I-IV4 hr. Visitors are admitted
daily from May 1st to Oct. 15th, 8.30-11.30 and 2.30-5.30 (2 JC each).
Parties up to 12 pers. are admitted at any time from 7 to 6 for an extra
payment of 3 JC. The mine is lighted by electricity. The temperature
is low (54° Fahr.), so that warm clothing should "be worn. The most
interesting parts of the visit are the trip across the 'Salz-See' and the
toboggan-slide into the deserted works of the Kaiser Franz mine. It
ends with the 'Apotheosis of Salt Mining'. — Visitors may return by
the (5 min.) Golleubach bridge, whence the Salzburg road ascends through
the straggling suburb of Xonntal to (20 min.) Berchtesgaden.
The *Lockstei.7i (2240 ft. ; 1/2 ln'- ; rfmts.) commands an admirable
view, especially by evening-light. We turn to the right by the abbey-
church and ascend the Doktorberg; short of (10 min.) the former hospital
we turn to the right, again keeping to the right beyond the 'Weinfeld-
lehen', and proceeding through woods. — About 3/^ hr. S. of Berchtes-
gaden, on the Schonau, an undulating plateau between the Konigsseer
Ache and Ramsauer Ache, is the Hot. -Pens. Panorama (2065 ft.), with
a caf^-restaurant and a fine view.

station. It leads on the left, then on the right bank of the KOnigs-
seer Ache via (2 M.) Unterstein (see below) to (3 M.) KOnigssee.
The Road (I1/4 hr. ; carr., see p. 342), starting from the station,
flosses the Ache by the Adelgunden-Brilcke, then skirts the Wemholr..
After 20 niin. it forks. The branch to the left continues on the sanae level,
that to the right crosses the SchuSb-BrucJce and leads via Unterstein (inn),
with an estate of Count Arco. The two roads reunite 8 min. from the lake.
The clear, dark-green **K6nigs-See or St.Bartholomaus-See
(1975 ft.), 5 M. long, Vs^^^U ^^- broad, and 630 ft. deep in places,
is the gem of the Berchtesgaden district and one of the most beau-
tiful lakes in the Alps. Some of the surrounding mountains, which
rise almost perpendicularly from the water, are 6500 ft. in height
above the lake. At the N. end lies the village of Konigssee (Hot.
Schiffmeister, R. 2-5 ^ ; Grosswang; Altes See-Wirtshaus, plain).
Motor-boats ply 13 times daily to the Sallet-Alp in 50 min. (there
and back 2 ^^ 60 pf.). — Rowing-boats (preferable; IV2 hr. to the Sallet-
Alp) are obtained from the 'Schiffmeister'. For 1-4 pers., with two
rowers, to St. Bartholoma 41/2, to the Sallet-Alp I'^j^JC; for 5-7 pers.,
with three rowers, 71/2 and 12 Ji. Gratuity extra.
To the left as the boat leaves the village, on a promontory,
is the Villa Beiist; in the lake lies the islet of Christlieger, with
a statue of St. John Nepomuk. "We pass the Falkenstein (on the
right), a rock with a cross commemorating the wreck of a boat
with a party of pilgrims in 1742. The lake now becomes visible
in its entire extent; in the background rise the SagerecJcivatid, the
Griinsee-Tauern, and the Funtensee-Tauern (8460 ft.), and ad-
joining them on the right the Schonfeldspitze (8700 ft.). On the
E. bank the Konigshach falls over a red cliff (2625 ft.) into the
lake. A little farther on, at the deepest part of the lake, a re-
verberating echo is awakened by a pistol fired in the direction of
the Brentemcand (50 pf.). In the vicinity, on the E. bank, not far
from the Kessel, is a cavern on a level with the water, called the
Kiichler Loch, from which a streamlet enters the lake. From the
Kessel (see below), near a promontory on the E. bank, a path
ascends to the (10 min.) Kessel-Fall. The boat proceeds S.W. to
St. Bartholoma, a green promontory with a chapel and a shoot-
ing-lodge (inn; salmon-trout). On the S.W. bank the Schrainbach
falls into the lake from a rocky gorge. The boat lands at the Sallet-
Alp, an isthmus formed by a landslide, separating the Konigs-See
from the (10 min.) Ober-See. Close by is a villa of the Duke of
Meiningen.
From the Kessel (see above) a marked bridle-path ascends to tlie
(31/2 hrs.) *Gotzenalm (5530 ft. ; rfmts. at the Spriiu/clkaser). Superb
view, especially from the Warteck (5710 ft.), 10 min. N.W. "We return
in 2 hrs. to the Kessel, where the boat should be ordered to be in waiting
for the return-journey (6-7 hrs. later).

Ache to (2/3 M.) Gmundhrilcke (p. 341), where we cross the Bischofs-
w^ieser Ache and ascend the narrow wooded valley of the Ramsauer
Ache. — 2V2 M. Esank (1910 ft.; Hot. Watzmann, R. I-I1/2 ^)-
About 5 min. farther is the Brunnhaus Ilsank, with a pumping
machine by which the salt-water from the mines is forced up to the
Soldenkopfl, 1245 ft. higher, whence it is conveyed by pipes to
Reichenhall, a distance of 18^ 2 ^I- The road now runs along the
left bank of the foaming Ache through the gorge of the Kniepass.
To the left we have a grand view of the Watzmann; before us rises
the broad Steinberg. On the left is (41/2 M.) a finger-post pointing
to the Wimbach-Klamm and Jagdschloss.
A path crossing the bridge (restaurant) to the left, and ascending to
the right by the 'Trinkhalle', leads to the ('/i hr.) *'Wiinbach-Klamm,
which is about V3 M. in length. The bluish-white water forms beautiful
falls in its narrow ravine, into which brooks descend on all sides. About
10 min. from the upper end of the ravine a view is disclosed of the
romantic Wimbach-Tal.
The ascent of the *^Watzmann (8900 ft. ; 6 hrs. from Ilsank to the
Hocheck; guide unnecessary) is not difficult. The route leads via the
(4 hrs.) Watzmann-Haus on the Falzkopfl (6330 ft.; bed bcS), which may
be reached also by a red-marked path from Konigssee (p. 343) in 51/2 hrs.

crosses the Ache and at {^1^ hr.) the Hinterseeklause reaches the
Hinter-See (2590 ft.), about ^/^ M. long, where we summon the
ferryman by ringing the bell (ferry 10 pf.). About ^4 tir. farther
on are the forester's house of Hintersee and the Bavarian custom-
house, opposite Auzinger^s Hotel.
The road goes on hence via the (2 hrs.) Hirschbiihel (3785 ft. ; inn),
with the Austrian custom-house, and crosses the pass (3760 ft.); it then

side is a relief-portrait of Fraunhofer (b. 1787 in Straubing). The
Schloss was once occupied by Duke Albert III. with his wife Agnes
Bernauer (p. 196), whose father-in-law Duke Ernest, exasperated
by his son's mesalliance, caused her to be condemned to death for
witchcraft and thrown into the Danube (1435). The bridge com-

Passau (995 ft.), a Bavarian town and episcopal see with 21,000
inhab., lies mainly on a rocky tongue of land formed by the con-
tinence of the Inn (315 yds. wide) with the Danube (only 260 yds.
wide), which is here joined also on theN". by the Ilz. Numerous houses
dating from after the fires of 1662 and 1680, on the banks of the
rivers, especially on the Inn, give the town an imposing appearance.
Xearly all the churches were restored between 1840 and 1870. The
picturesque situation of Passau and the variety of views commanded
by the neighbouring heights will amply repay a short visit,
Passau originated in the Celtic settlement of Boioduriim, the site of
which is now occupied by the Innstadt (p. 352). Where the cathedral now
stands, the Romans erected ca. 250 A.D. a fortified camp, called Castra
Batavia or Batavis after its garrison, the 9th Batavian cohort. The portion
of the town-walls known as the 'Romer-Wehr' (PL C, 3) is is reality a relic
of the mediaeval fortifications. The importance of the town increased after
the foundation of the bishopric by St. Boniface in 731. Bishop Pilgrim
(970-991) is mentioned in the 'Xibelungen-Lied'. The bishops acquired
princely rank in 1217. In the middle ages Passau was an important trading
place, owing to its situation at the junction of several great trade-routes.
The Treaty of Passau, concluded in 1552 between the Emperor Charles V.
and Elector Maurice of Saxony, established religious toleration. The
bisliopric was suppressed in 1803, but restored in 1827.
From the station (PI. A, 3) the Bahnhof-Str. leads E. to the
Ludwigs-Platz (PL B, 3), and thence, somewhat to the left, to the
Neumarkt or Ludwig-Strasse, which, with its continuation the
Rindermarkt, is the busiest part of the town. To the right, at the
corner of the Heilige-Geist-Grasse, is the aisleless Votiv-Kirche
(PI. B, 3), completed in 1619 and ruined by restoration in the
Romanesque style in 1851-61. Adjacent, on the right, is the Heilig-
Cathedral. PASSAU. 4^. Route. 351
geist-Spital, with a Gothic church (1422), stained glass (1513), and
the Heiliggeist-Stiftsschenke 'p. 350). — Farther on, on the left
side of the Rixdekmarkt, is the aS'^ Johannes- Spit alkirche (V\.
C, 2), dating from the early 13th cent., rebuilt in 1512, and restored
in 1860-64, when numerous tombstones and wood-carvings were
brought hither from other churches. To the right, higher uj), is
the parish-church of St. Paul (PI. C, 2), rebuilt in 1678.
Passing through the Paulus-Eogen, adjoining the church on the
left, we asceud the Post-Gasse to the right to the Dom-Platz or
1'arade-Platz (P1.C,D,3), in which stands a statue of King Max I.
('1824). On the W. side is the old Kanonikalhof (now a seminary ;
PI. C, 3), where the Treaty of Passau (p. 350j was concluded. Tlie
jtresent building dates from 1724. On the E, side rises the —
*Cathedral ('S'^ Sfeplian ; PI. D, 3), a basilica with aisles,
transept, a dome over the crossing, and two A\'. towers, founded
perhaps as early as the 5th cent., and rebuilt early in the 12th cent,
and again after a fire in 1181 in the Gothic style. In 1407 the choir,
transept, and dome were restored in the late -Gothic style. The
whole building was remodelled in a florid baroque style by Carlo
I.arago after the fire of 1662, and is now one of the finest 17th cent,
churches in Germany. The rich stucco decoration of the interior is
by .T. B. Carlone (1686). The towers were completed in 1895-7.
Ou the X. side is the Domhof, with interesting restored chapels
and numerous gravestones. The Kapelle des Missions- Kreuzt'S (W. sidej.
with gilded carvings, dates from 1710. The Dreifaltigkeits- Kapellf
(ea. 1570; W. side) has pointed vaulting; in the centre is the monument
of the founder, Prince-Bishop Trenbach (d. 1598). The Kreuzweg KapeUf
(late 14th cent.; E. side) has four slender octagonal pillars,_and interest-
ing tombstones of red marble on the walls. The adjacent Olherg-KapeUe
or Sixtus-KapeUe (1288) contains a marble tomb of Count Henry 111.
of Ortenburg and his wife Agnes of Bavaria, erected in 13G0.
To the E. of the cathedral is the Residenz-Platz (PI. D, 3), with
the Wittelshach Fountain (1906); on the S. side rises the Bishop's
Palace, a fine baroque edifice of 1730-72, with bronze figures abovt^
the two N. portals and a rococo staircase on the right.
A street descends hence to the S. to the Ludwigs-Briicke (p. 352).
To the N.E. the Schrott-Gasse leads to the Rathaus-Platz, with the
steamer-pier and the Gothic Rathaus (P1.E,3), completed in 1405,
restored in the interior after the fire of 1662, and enlarged and pro-
vided with a tower (225 ft. high) in 1888-93. On the first floor (entr.
Schrott-Gasse) are the Municipal Museum (adm. 20 pf.) and the
Council Chambers, the walls and ceilings of which are painted by
F. Wagner (adm. 20 pf.). Below is the Rathaus-Keller (p. 350). -
We now proceed E., turning to the right and again E. through the
Rrau-Gasse into the Jesuiten-Gasse, where stands the Kirche zum
Heiligen Kreuz (PL E, 3), belonging to the old Benedictine nunnery
of Niedernburg, now a convent-school. The church is a basilica
erected in the second half of the 12th cent, in the transitional stvle

and subsequently restored. Tlie Maria Pay^z Chapel, on the S,
side, contains a miraculous image and the tomb of the Abbess G-isela,
Queen of Hungary and sister of Emperor Henry II. ~ The pro-
montory at the E. end of the town affords a fine view of the broad
expanse formed by the confluence of the rivers, whose diflfereut
coloured waters seem to strive for the mastery (comp. p. 353j.
The iron Ludwigs-Bvilclve, 270 yds. in length, crosses the Inn
to the Innstadt (PI. C-E, 4), rebuilt since its destruction by fire in
the war of 1809. On the side of the hill the city-wall is still stand-
ing. The aisleless St. Severins-Kirche (PI. C, 4), at the W. end of
the Innstadt, dates from the Romanesque period, but was rebuilt in
the Gothic style in 1476. On the X. side of the church the oratory
of St. Severinus, the apostle of the district (d. 488), is shown. Follow-
ing the Mariahilf-Gasse from the bridge and then ascending to the
right, outside the town-gate, by the road leading to the Waldschloss
.'see below), we reach (1/4 hr.) the pilgrimage-church of *Mariahilf
(1175 ft.; PI. E, 4), rebuilt in 1662. Both on the way to the church
and above it we obtain charming views of the town, the confluence
of the Inn and Danube, and the fortress of Oberha^^s. In the arcaded
court are modern Stations of the Cross. The miraculous picture is
;i copy (ca. 1620) of a Madonna by Oranach the Elder at Innsbruck.
On the left of the entrance a flight of 164 steps, with numerous
votive tablets, descends to the Innstadt. — In Austrian territory,
Vghr. from the Mariahilf, is the Hotel-Pension Waldschloss (P.
4 ^), prettily situated on the margin of a wood.
The Stadt-Park fPl. A, 2), on the slopes of the left bank
of the Danube, 10 min. \s . of the Maximilians -Briicke (p. 353),
affords pleasant shady walks. On its X. margin stands the ejjiscopal
villa oi Freudenliain (Pl.A, 1; 1790-92), now a convent -school
and training-college for teachers. Adjacent is the Restaurant
Freudenhain. To the N". of the Stadt-Park, on the road to Ries
(beyond PI. A, 1), is the hamlet of Plantage (1175 ft.; garden-
restaurant), Y2 ^1'- f''0"^ the Maximilians -Briicke. Thence to Ries

The fortress of *Oberhaus (1340 ft.; PL E, 2), built by Bishop
Ulrich II. in 1219, enlarged in the 14th cent., and now a military
prison, crowns the steep, wooded slope of the Georgsherg, on the left
bank of the Danube, opposite Passau. It is connected by a rampart
and walls with the old fortress of Niederhaus (PI. F, 2 ; now private
property), on the tongue of land between the Hz and the Danube.
The easiest approach to the Oberhaus is a footpath from the Anger-
Str. (PI. D, E, 2). The road leads from the lower part of the town
across the Prinzregent- Luitpold-Briic'ke (PI. E, 2; fine view;
1910-11), turning to the right beyond it. A few paces farther on
the Prinz-Ludwig-Steig ascends to the left to the fortress, afford-
ing fine views. The road continues through a rocky arch and follows

a curious three -storied edifice with groined vaulting, radiating
chapels, and no aisles, erected in 1479-84 on the site of a synagogue
and restored in 1861. "We continue past the bridge over the Ilz (see
below), and then ascend to the left to the lower gate of the fortress,
and through it to the (V^ hr.) * View Tower (1400 ft.) on the Katz
battery (adm. 50, Sun. 20 pf.), which affords a beautiful view (best
in the evening) of the town, the valleys of the Ilz, Danube, and Inn,
enclosed by dark wooded heights, and the hills of the Bohmer and
Bayrischer Wald to the N. (indicator). A red flag on the fortress
indicates that the Alps are visible. The tower contains a Museum
of objects made in the Bayrischer Wald, a relief-map of the moun-
tains, etc. TVe retrace our steps from the upper gate of the fortress
and after a few paces turn to the left, cross the Oberhauserleite,
and descend the stone steps to the (Y4 hr.) Maximilians-Briicke
(PI. B, C, 2). AVe cither return across it to the town, or turn to
the left at the end of the steps and follow the Anger-Str. (partly
hewn in the rock) along the left bank of the Danube back to the
Prinzregenten-Luitpold-Brlicke.
From the upper gate of the fortress we may proceed over the hill,
passing the old powder-magazine, to (25 min.) Ries (1405 ft.; Hot.
Spetzinger; Eestaurant Urzinger, with view-tower, 20 pf.), a station of
the Schonberg motor-oran. (p. 3.50). Thence those pressed for time may
descend by a marked path to (1/2 hr.) the Durchbruch (see below) and
follow it to Hals and back to Passaii (2 hrs. in all). It is preferable to take
the footpath (fine views), which descends near the first house of Ries to
the right of the road from Oberhaus, to (V4 hr.) Hals (965 ft. ; Hot. Nieder-
mayer or Hofwirt, good), a village charmingly situated in the valley of
the Ilz, and commanded by a ruin. River-baths and hydropathic (Bavaria-
Bad). There is an old pillory by the Rathaus (IGli). About 9 min. above
the village we cross the Ilz and ascend the left bank by a path provided
with seats and guide-posts to the (6 min.) Durchbruch. a tunnel 150 yds.
long and 13 ft. wide, hewn in the rock in 1827-9, through which an arm of
the Ilz flows. On the wooded hill above the tunnel is the ruin of Reschen-
stein. A footway, protected by a railing, leads through the tunnel. At
the farther end there is a barrier, 190 yds. long, to intercept the
floating timber as it descends from the Bayrischer Wald. A foot-bridge
crosses from the upper end of the tunnel to the Triftmcister (rfmts.).
"We now follow the right bank to (V4 hr.) Untcr-Ilzmiihle (ferry 3 pf.)
and (5 min.) Ober-Ilzmuhle (inn); then return on the left bank, follow-
ing a path througli the woods high above the Ilz (good views), to
(V2 hr.) Hals.
N'ear the mouth of the Ilz a bridge crosses to the Ilzstadt (PI. F,
1, 2), at the base of the Nonnberg, inhabited by boatmen and rafts-
men. Above it rises the (20 min.) *Klosterberg or Xonnengiitl
(PI. F, 2; visitors generally admitted on application), a small Schloss
with a charming view (best from the S. side, outside the parapet)
of the confluence of the grey Inn, the pale-green Danube, and the
dark-brown Ilz. After receiving the waters of the Inn, the Danube
becomes a noble stream.

50. TheBayrischer Wald and the Adj oining
Part of the Bohmer-Wald.
The Bayrischer "Wald, or Bavarian Forest, is the S.W. portion of
the extensive Bohmeruald-Gebirge and includes the highest peaks in
the range (Arber 4780 ft., Rachel 4765 ft.). Nearly half of this mountain-
region, Avhich is over 1900 sq. M. in area and lies between the Danube
and the Bohemian frontier, extending from Cham and Furth on the N.
to below Passau on the S., is covered with pine and beech forest, much
of which, especially in the less frequented parts (Rachel, Falkenstein,
etc.), is still in a primfeval condition. The geological formation of the
Bayrischer Wald consists of granite, gneiss, and mica-slate, intersected-
by the Pfahl (p. 357), a broad seam of quartz. — The timber-trade and
cattle-breeding are the chief resources of the inhabitants, but quarrying
and the manufacture of wooden objects are also important industries.
The roads are frequently flanked with 'Totenbretter', memorial tablets
with inscriptions and paintings.
The Paths are good almost without exception; the Isns, though
unpretentious, are generally clean (average charges: R. 1-1V2! D. I-IV2 «-^,
board 1 J6 80 pf. -3 JC). — Bohmisch-Eisenstein, Bayrisch-Eisenstein,
Lambach, Rabenstein, Bodenmais, Spiegelau, Klingenbrunn, St. Osioald,
Mauth, etc., are frequented as summer resorts. The Bayrischer Wald-
Yerein is employed in opening up the mountains.
