Today the church, which was officially consecrated a hundred years ago, is supposed to be a place of art - and a kind of living room. A few weeks ago the clock in St. Barbara, which is located opposite the altar in the gallery, was finally repaired. Every hour now she emits a warm, golden sound. However, not quite on time. "The...
It's not just about the beautiful appearance and the decorative postcard facade: Monuments are signs of the culture of their time, which sometimes gnawed at them heartily. Sometimes only fragments are left or they are only discovered by chance during work and uncovered as archaeological heritage. Other witnesses of an epoch, on the other hand, are so young that some are surprised that they are already monuments and are considered more by experts than fleeting fashion.In Munich, around 6,800 buildings,...
There are people who say everything used to be better. In most cases, that's nonsense.

Open detailed view... since the group of photographers first visited in 2004. (Photo: Martin Reindl)When Werner Resch went out with his photo group in 2003 to stage the old Laim goods yard, he was impressed. "It was still there like it used to be," recalls the 68-year-old.

Historical photos, because a little later the once...
In the second half of the 18th century, Count von Zech the Elder fell victim to an ambush in Munich. Strangers have stretched a "string" right in front of his front door. In the darkness of the night, the Count stumbles across it - and is robbed. A Herr von Eckartshausen is also "baked" on his way home at night through the old town by a "man" with bad intentions, who can be driven away by loud shouting and gunshots....
