Winter Fun
A bit of winter fun in the "Bamberger House" in Munich's Luitpold Park.
--
In a prominent location near the newly created Luitpold Park, Munich architect Franz Rank erected a simple two-story building in 1912. In doing so, he integrated the Baroque sandstone sculpture of the Böttingerhaus in Bamberg (also known as the 'Prell-Haus'), which had been built in the then Jewish Alley 14 (now Judenstraße) from 1707 to 1713, into the facade. These facade parts were transferred to Munich by Rank, who was able to acquire them shortly after 1900.
On the occasion of the 90th birthday of Prince Regent Luitpold, Rank donated the building to the Royal Capital and Residence City of Munich, in whose possession it still remains. Destroyed in the Second World War, the Bamberger Haus was completely rebuilt in 1983 and now houses a restaurant.
I cannot recommend the restaurant, though. It is expensive and not that good. Like the most restaurants in Munich ;-)
