There is no longer any horse riding on the grounds of the historic bar, although the promotion of university equestrian sports was once contractually agreed. Why two former students think this is nonsense.
It is January 23, 1932, when Privy Councilor Ferdinand von Lindemann shows up at a Munich notary’s office. He is a mathematics professor at the Ludwig Maximilians University (LMU) and is authorized to sign the contract for a significant donation on this day in the name of his university. It’s about the property of a riding school, located between Queen Street and the English Garden. Shortly before his death in 1931, the entrepreneur and patron Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe, inventor of the gyrocompass, ordered that these areas be bequeathed to the LMU. On this day, Ferdinand von Lindemann signed the transfer agreement and with it a donation requirement.
