Nymphenburg Schloss Nymphenburg liegt im Westen Münchens im Stadtbezirk Neuhausen-Nymphenburg. Es bildet zusammen mit dem Schlosspark Nymphenburg und den kleinen „Parkburgen“ eine Einheit. Es zählt zu den großen Königsschlössern Europas und ist heute eine vielbesuchte Sehenswürdigkeit. Das Schloss war lange Zeit die Sommerresidenz der Wittelsbacher. Nymphenburg wurde 1664 vom Kurfürsten Ferdinand Maria als Geschenk an seine Frau Adelheid von Savoyen in Auftrag gegeben, als sie ihm Max Emanuel als lang ersehnten Thronerben geboren hatte. Max Emanuel selbst hatte später wesentlichen Anteil an der Erweiterung des Schlosses. Im Nymphenburger Vertrag von 1741 verbündeten sich Frankreich, Spanien, Bayern, Sachsen mit Preußen gegen Österreich. 1747 gründete Kurfürst Max III. Joseph die Nymphenburger Porzellanmanufaktur. 1792 ließ Kurfürst Karl Theodor den Nymphenburger Park für das Volk öffnen. König Maximilian I. starb 1825 im Schloss, sein Urenkel König Ludwig II. wurde 1845 hier geboren. 1863 fand in Nymphenburg das einzige Treffen zwischen Ludwig und Otto von Bismarck statt, der ihm in lebenslanger Freundschaft verbunden blieb. Durch die Revolution 1918 kam Nymphenburg unter Krongutverwaltung, dann in Staatseigentum (Bayerische Verwaltung der staatlichen Schlösser, Gärten und Seen). Die Wittelsbacher behielten ein begrenztes Wohnrecht, das vom jeweiligen Oberhaupt des Hauses Wittelsbach genutzt wird (derzeit Franz von Bayern). Im Zweiten Weltkrieg blieb das Schloss bis auf einen Volltreffer, der die Schlosskapelle zerstörte, von schweren Beschädigungen verschont. 1972 wurden vor der Kulisse des Nymphenburger Schlosses die olympischen Wettbewerbe im Dressurreiten abgehalten. Mit dem Schloss entstand zunächst ein kleiner Garten im italienischen Stil. In den Jahren von 1701 bis 1704 wurden Veränderungen und Erweiterungen des Gartens im Stil des französischen Barocks. Die Schaffung eines weitläufigen Landschaftsparks nach englischem Vorbild begann 1804 mit dem südlichen Parkteil, der 1807 fertiggestellt war und wurde 1810 bis 1823 mit dem nördlichen Teil vollendet. Der Mittelkanal mit der Großen Kaskade teilt den Landschaftspark des Nymphenburger Parks in einen nördlichen und einen südlichen Bereich. Die Wasserzufuhr erfolgt von Westen aus der Würm über den Pasing-Nymphenburger Kanal, der zum Nordmünchner Kanalsystem gehört. Das Wasser wird über zwei Kanäle nach Osten und Nordosten, sowie über den Hartmannshofer Bach nach Norden abgeleitet. Im nördlichen Teil befindet sich der kleinere Pagodenburger See mit der Pagodenburg. Der botanische Garten im Nordosten ist nicht Bestandteil des Nymphenburger Parks; er ist teilweise durch eine Mauer und eine Straße vom Park getrennt. Im südlichen Teil befinden sich der größere Badenburger See mit Apollotempel und der Badenburg. Das Grüne Brunnhaus mit der Wassermühle für die Druckpumpen der Gartenfontäne im Dörfchen steht am südlichen, das Niveau des Würmkanals behaltenden Kanals. Die Amalienburg bestimmt den südöstlichen Parkteil. Quelle: Wikipedia

The 36 ladies are an international bunch – the gallery includes an Israelite, a Briton, a Scot, an Italian and a Greek. www.destination-munich.com/nymphenburg-palace-pictures.html The Nymphenburg Palace (German: Schloss Nymphenburg), i.e. Nymph's Castle, is a Baroque palace in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. The palace was the main summer residence of the rulers of Bavaria. The palace was commissioned by the prince-electoral couple Ferdinand Maria and Henriette Adelaide of Savoy to the designs of the Italian architect Agostino Barelli in 1664 after the birth of their son Maximilian II Emanuel. The central pavilion was completed in 1675. Starting in 1701, Max Emanuel, the heir to Bavaria, a souvereign electorate of the Holy Roman Empire, conducted a systematic extension of the palace. Two pavilions were added each in the south and north of Barelli's palace by Enrico Zucalli and Giovanni Antonio Viscardi. Later, the south section of the palace was further extended to form the court stables. As a balance, the orangerie was added to the north. Finally, a grand circle (the Schlossrondell) with baroque mansions (the so-called Kavaliershäuschen - cavalier's lodges) was erected under Max Emanuel's son Holy Roman Emperor Charles VII Albert. Two of the latter's children were born here; Maria Antonia (future Electress of Saxony) in 1724 and Maria Anna Josepha (future Margravine of Baden-Baden) in 1734. Joseph Effner redesigned the facade of the center pavilion in French baroque style with pilasters in 1716. In 1826 Leo von Klenze removed its gables with the electoral coat of arms and created an attic decoration directly under the roof instead. With the Treaty of Nymphenburg concluded in July 1741, Charles Albert allied with France and Spain against Austria. For a long time, the palace was the favourite summer residence of the rulers of Bavaria. King Max I Joseph died there in 1825, and his great-grandson King Ludwig II was born there in 1845. Today, Nymphenburg is open to the public, but also continues to be a home and chancery for the head of the house of Wittelsbach, currently Franz, Duke of Bavaria. To sworn-in Jacobites, the head of the house of Wittelsbach is the legitimate heir of the Stuart claims, which, however, they have never called for. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphenburg_Palace 20110102_7D_IMG_4258_Munique

King Max I Joseph died there in 1825, and his great-grandson, the famous King Ludwig II., was born there in 1845. Nymphenburg Palace is surrounded by a 200-hectare park. Once being an Italian garden, it was enlarged and rearranged in French style and finally redone in the English manner, whilst at the same time the main elements of the Baroque garden were preserved. The park is bisected by a long canal along the principle axis which leads from the palace to the marble cascade in the west (decorated with stone figures of Greek gods). Two lakes are situated on both sides of the canal. The palace as well as the park are important economic factors for the city of Munich and the main building alone, which is open to the public, has more than 300,000 visitors per year. A Happy New Year 2011 to all my Flickr contacts and everybody else, who reads these lines.

For a long time, the palace was the favourite summer residence of the rulers of Bavaria. King Max I Joseph died there in 1825, and his great-grandson King Ludwig II was born there in 1845. Today, Nymphenburg is open to the public, but also continues to be a home and chancery for the head of the house of Wittelsbach, currently Franz, Duke of Bavaria. Palatul a fost construit pentru Prinţul Elector al Bavariei Ferdinand Maria şi soţia sale Henriette Adelaide de Savoia de către arhitectul italian Agostino Barelli în 1664, pentru a celebra naşterea fiului lor, Maximilian II Emanuel. Pavilionul central a fost terminat în anul 1675. Incepând cu anul 1701, prinţul moştenitor Max Emanuel a întreprins o extindere sistematică a palatului. Astfel, au fost adăugate două pavilioane noi, la nord şi la sud de palat. In continuare, palatul a fost extins şi modernizat în mai multe etape până la începutul secolului al XIX-lea. Palatul a fost vreme îndelungată reşedinţa de vară a conducătorilor Bavariei. Regele Max I Joseph a murit aici în 1825 iar în 1845 s-a născut aici strănepotul lui, regele Ludwig II. Astăzi, castelul Nymphenburg este deschis publicului, dar continuă să adăpostească reşedinţa şi cancelaria şefului Casei de Wittelsbach, Ducele Franz de Bavaria. Source: WIKIPEDIA


Helene Sedelmayer (12 May, 1813 - 18 November, 1898)
Made by 1way2rock
Helene Sedelmayer was the daughter of a master shoemaker from Traunstein. When she was 14 she came to Munich as a servant girl and eventually became a delivery girl for a toy store located on Briennerstraße, near the Royal Residenz. She met King Ludwig while making a delivery. He immediately offerred her a place in the Beauty Gallery, and purchased the complete traditional Munich costume for her consisting of a beautiful silver headdress, silver chains, shawl and dress. Ludwig compared Helene to the paintings of Fra Angelico and stated that Helene belongs to the pure and that in Helene's case beauty is effaced by virtue. King Ludwig held innocence, virtue, and purity in very high esteem, and offerred to give Helene a dowry of 1000 gilders ($4309.20 as of 4 July 2007) if she went to the altar in the same state of onnocence as she was in now and remarked that by innocence I mean in a state of virginity. King Ludwig introduced her to one of his footmen, named Miller, and married them a year later. Their marriage is said to have been a happy one and they had ten children together, nine boys and a girl. The family of Helene Sedelmayer lives in Berchtesgaden and operates the Four Seasons Hotel. This painting was completed by Joseph Stieler in 1831 when Helene was 18. She symbolized innocence and purity.


Munich 2
Made by Michael Dawes
Munich (German: München, pronounced [ˈmʏnçən] listen (help·info); Austro-Bavarian: Minga.[2]) is the capital of the German state of Bavaria and a Gamma World City. There are, in fact, three locations in Bavaria known as München - the one referred to as Munich, one northeast of Nuremberg, and one north of Passau.[3] Munich is located on the River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps. Munich is Germany's third largest city after Berlin and Hamburg. The city has a population of 1.35 million and the Munich Metropolitan Region is home to around 4,65 million people.[4] The city's motto was Die Weltstadt mit Herz (The world city with heart) for a long time but has recently been replaced by München mag dich (Munich loves you). Its native name, München, stems from an Old German word predating the word Mönche of today's High German, meaning Monks. Therefore, the figure on Munich's coat-of-arms is a monk, and is referred to as the Münchner Kindl, the child of Munich. Black and gold - the colors of the Holy Roman Empire - have been the city's official colors since the time of Louis IV, Holy Roman Emperor

Presenting a 6-shot panorama of the beautiful Nymphenburg Palace in Munich. I have always wanted to take a blue hour shot of this palace, so I left my family in the hotel (my son wanted to sleep after a long day) and was on location well before the blue hour. But, I didn't realize that during July the blue hour would set in very late. So, after waiting for nearly an hour I had to return back empty handed :-( While waiting I took some shots with the intention to stitching them (and forgot about them). Finally, found them while cleaning the archives. Please do view Wishing you all a great Sunday and a wonderful week ahead!!


Caroline Lizius (1825 - 1904?)
Made by 1way2rock
Almost nothing is known about Caroline Lizius, who was described by Ludwig in 1842 as the most beautiful woman in Munich and left her 24000 gulden (over 3 million dollars) in his will if she never married, which was to be used as a dowry if she did marry. Her last mention in the Munich phonebook was in 1904, which is believed to be the year of her death. This portrait of Caroline Lizius was the second of two paintings of her by Joseph Stieler, completed in 1843 at the age of 18. The first was completed in 1841 when Caroline was 16, and Ludwig immediately commissioned a second as Caroline had become more beautiful

Munich (Nymphenburg - Gallery of Beauties)
Made by WVJazzman
Joseph Karl Stieler was the favorite painter of the art-loving king Ludwig I of Bavaria (1786-1868), grandfather of Ludwig II. Ludwig I commissioned Stieler to paint those women that the king considered beautiful - and that required morality (i.e., chastity) as one important component of their beauty. If an honorable citizens' daughter got picked, she received the dress she was painted in as a gift, which is why they appear dressed above their station. In all, 36 portraits hang in the Gallery of Beauties.


Nymphenburg

Schloss Nymphenburg was built as a summer residence for the Bavarian Kings. Constructed was started in 1664 by Elector Ferdinand Maria and took 150 years to complete. Ludwig II was born here August 25th 1845 and is one of the rooms you will see on the tour. Though not as impressive on the inside as the Residence, Nymphenburg has many features and history that will satisfy. Be sure to include the Nymphenburg Porcelain Museum and the Botanical Gardens in your visit
