Munich: City of the Arts

Munich: City of the Arts by Noehbauer, Hans F.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9783777462509.

For almost thousand years, Munich has been the capital of Bavaria and so much more. This stunning volume depicts the history of Munich and includes the major historical periods of the Ducal Age, the Age of Electors, the Age of Kings and finally the Republican Age. Each age is discussed along with its monuments and buildings; art collections and cultural institutions, such as theaters, operas, museums, palaces, churches and cathedrals: and its gardens and famous quarters, such as Schwabing, Bogenhausen, and others. A comprehensive appendix provides the reader with a chronological table of the history of Munich and Bavaria, and the dynasty of Wittelsbach dating back to the 12th century.
