The Magdalenenklause is a hermitage, designed as an artificial ruin, located in the Nymphenburg Palace Park.

The purpose of the building was to serve as a memento mori for the Elector (Kurfürst) Max Emanuel - he was supposed to visit the building and contemplate the transience of being alive and a ruler.

Unfortunately Max Emanuel did not live long enough to see the building completed - sic transit gloria...

Here's a winter view

Revisited. The subway station "Westfriedhof" (Western Cemetery) on the border between the districts of Moosach and Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, along lines U1/U7.

Pretty popular photo location for obvious reasons...

The blue walls (remainders of the slurry wall that was used during construction) and the 11 huge lamps of 3.80 m diameter each give a very special atmosphere. The lamps do have yellow, red and blue lights, so each section has a slightly different atmosphere.

Interior of the Frauenkirche cathedral, a Munich landmark. The official name of this late Gothic cathedral is "Dom zu Unserer Lieben Frau".
