Places to see in ( Munich - Germany ) Ruhmeshalle und Bavaria

Описание: Places to see in ( Munich - Germany ) Ruhmeshalle und Bavaria

The Ruhmeshalle (literally hall of fame) is a Doric colonnade with a main range and two wings, designed by Leo von Klenze for Ludwig I of Bavaria. It is situated on an ancient ledge above the Theresienwiese in Munich and was built as part of a complex which also includes the Bavariapark and the Bavaria statue. It is built of Kelheim limestone and is 68 metres long and 32 metres deep.

With the construction and exhibition of busts of important people from Bavaria, including the Palatinate, Franconia and Swabia, King Ludwig intended to create a hall of fame that honors laudable and distinguished people of his kingdom, as he did also in the Walhalla memorial for all of Germany.

The ensemble of Bavaria with Ruhmeshalle (Hall of Fame) is located on a bank at the West side of Theresienwiese, where the Oktoberfest is held annually. From her lofty location, the monumental statue of the Bavaria overlooks the Theresienwiese as well as the neighboring quarters. The statue was a technical masterstroke of her time: she is made of pure bronze and weighs more than 70 tons with her height of 18 meters. After her inauguration during the 25th Oktoberfest in 1850, she quickly became the symbol and guardian of the state Bavaria.

The lady is portrayed in Germanic style: she is vested in a bearskin, holds an oak crown in her left hand and a lion at the leash in her right hand. You can walk up a small spiral staircase inside the body. In the head of the statue is a small platform, where max. 3 persons will fit. Therefore sometimes you have to wait quite a while for your turn to glimpse through the four tiny windows. But you'll be rewarded with a spectacular view over the Theresienwiese and the city of Munich.
