Munich / München - Part 1

Munich / München - Part 1

Munich / München was next on my destination list. I regret not spending more time in Germany other than my six days in Munich. It’s a big country with so much to see and offer. It deserves more time. More reason to return…always wanted to go to Berlin. Looking back, this time-constraint was self-imposed, hence the regret. The decision to go to Munich was because it is so close to Zurich, easy and…

A jewel of German Baroque, the Asamkirche, the popular name for the church of St. John of Nepomuk in Munich, is the Asam church chapel.

Built by the Asam brothers, Egid Quirin and Cosmas Damian, between 1733 and 1746 as their private chapel.

I love art. All those ASCII pictures. Starry Night by van Gogh. All those tagged walls I pass by every day. All of those huuuge boobs I cannot run from on the internet. Who's afraid of red, yellow and blue. Rothko. Mapplethorpe. That fucking penis stretched over the table. 2:22 AM. The Lobster. House of Leaves. That's one naked woman painted in those three ugly colours, that my dad decided to show me one day. Piss Christ. This cool handmade plate I saw on a flea market five years ago. All those horny furries I see on my dashboard. Villa La Rotonda. BEST CROISSANT IN PARIS by Luis. Triple Baka. Donatello's David. Pollock. Fucking Disco Elysium. Duchamp's Fountain. Everything Everywhere All at Once. DOUBLE KING by Felix Colgrave. Zadupie by Ryszard Kaja. Twister mat that's every year used like a pride flag. That one person's hair that I see everyday in school. The other person's backpack that's fully decked out in colorful pins. City & City by China Mieville. Roundabout. Asamkirche. Tag walls, punch fascists. Beethoven. Tamaytka's sketchbooks. The Pantheon. Kafka's Metamorphosis. Monster cans. Mueck. Bliss. Matisse. Notre Dame. Sea shanties. Sparkledogs. Land of the Lustrous. Berserk. Dizzy Gillespie. The spoon with those cool flowers that I have in my dorm room. All the cool fucking doodles on the margins of people's notebooks. Omfg I love art.

Stranded in Monaco di Baviera

I started preparing for this trip by watching the first season of Meister Eder und sein Pumuckl. Little did I know that my short vacation will double in length.

There was a time when München was known as the Haupstadt der Bewegung, but in the last few days there was no bewegung of trams, buses and most of the flights were canceled. So I got stuck.

The first thing that hit me in the city was the smell. Later I would feel the same smell (or another, a mixture of pork, sausages and Glühwein) even from the 91 m high tower of the St. Peter church.

However the first thing to warm my soul was this Osram advert:

On the way to the Glypthotek I was happy to see this:

Of course one goes to the Glypthotek to see the Medusa Rondanini.

"the mere knowledge that such a work could be created and still exists in the world makes me twice the person I was"

And in München one goes to eat and drink.

Obazda goes very good with beer (look up a recipe and make it as soon as you can).

Pork knuckles were a disappointment (I think the ones I am used to are smoked beforehand).

The beef soup? My mother makes better soup from chicken!

If you care about sacrificed animals and you think that every possible part of it should be used, also if you like to eat organs, you might try Milzwurst that is a thick sausage made with spleen. You might try it, but it's just meh...

What to drink? Drink helles, Feuerzangenbowle, Enzian and Bärwurz Schnaps and generally spirits that are so obscure that even the young waitress doesn't know about their existence (Bockbierbrand).

Now about something else. On the third day the snow was so big that the airport got in full chaos mode.

On that day I have seen a young woman skiing on the sidewalk. Next level for sure.

In six days I have seen almost everything I wanted and some things I didn't even care about so much and I made a daytrip to Norimberga.

Not much photos on my phone. I will make later a then and now post.

So

The End

Nyissz! at Asamkirche

München Asamkirche

San Juan Nepomuceno 

Munich, Alemania

Construida por los hermanos Asam en el siglo XVIII con una peculiar mezcla entre el estilo barroco y el rococó, la Iglesia de Asam (Asamkirche), también conocida como la iglesia de San Juan Nepomuceno, es un templo único que resulta sorprendente.

La iglesia fue erigida entre 1733 y 1746 con la intención de que fuera un templo privado para los hermanos Asam, pero finalmente las protestas de los ciudadanos lograron que se abriera al público.

La iglesia es una muestra concreta del barroco con un estilo artístico caracterizado por las formas recargadas y el amor a las curvas, con una arquitectura para los sentidos dada a su complejidad decorativa. Hay mucho movimiento en el interior. Consideramos que es de gran importancia pues demuestra como en un espacio que era bastante reducido fueron capaces de construir un edificio insigne del barroco en Alemania y que logra destacar entre los demás edificios que están a su alrededor. Para comprender la estructura, distribución y decoración de la iglesia de Asamkirche, hay que tener en mente que esta fue hecha siguiendo una visión muy particular, propia de los hermanos Asam. Por estas razones, en la capilla pueden verse características bastante peculiares. Una de ellas es su decoración, que parece abarcar todas las esquinas del lugar. Esta puede parecer incluso un poco sobrecargada, ya que la iglesia cuenta con esculturas, mosaicos, murales, frescos en el techo y en las antecámaras, intrincadas rejas, candelabros y vitrales. Todo esto distribuido en un espacio pequeño, alto y bastante estrecho. Se ha señalado como su principal influencia la iglesia romana de San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane de Borromini. Que en características similares ambas fachadas parecen buscar ritmos ondulantes y ascendentes que confieren un inusual dinamismo al conjunto. También se ven influencias de la basílica de San Pedro que podemos ver en sus columnas y otros elementos decorativos. Algo que me gusto, y me parece interesante de comentar es el hecho de que se habla de barroco tardío o rocóco, y si ligeramente se puede percatar que a diferencia del barroco tradicional que habíamos visto hasta ahora, San juan de Nepomuceno cuanta con una decoración bastante elegante y el empleo de colores vivos, como lo es el dorado, eso contrarresta un poco la oscuridad del barroco. Eso lo podemos ver en como esta diseñada la iglesia donde hay una zona baja mas oscura que representa el sufrimiento mundano y cuanto más hacia arriba se mira, o sea, hacia el cielo, está bien iluminada y dedicada a Dios y la eternidad. También me gusta mucho como su fachada barroca se integra armónicamente con las casas vecinas, no es como rompe con su alineación, sino que se adapta al entorno. Pero por dentro Todas las superficies se decoran con profusión y detalle combinando múltiples materiales y colores, se ven también las curvas elípticas y esa irregularidad estructural.

Pd: el trabajo es grupo fue algo tardado, supongo que por el hecho de que todos nos encontrabamos ocupados por las entregas finales. Pero logramos compenetrar y terminar a tiempo. Mi compañero masculino, se incorporo un poco tarde al grupo pero igual tratamos de que tuviera algo para exponer, fue corto, pero no quedo por fuera.

Munich Residenz & More - Munich, Germany

We parted ways with Dan this morning, he had to fly back to the States - Doug is losing his beer-drinking partner! This is our last day in Munich and we managed to make it a full one. We started with a walk to Odeonsplatz from the subway station, where we viewed the Feldherrnhalle - a memorial to the Bavarian army built between 1841-1844. The Theatine Church is on the same plaza, this time we were able to see it without all the street booths set up on the plaza.

MUNICH RESIDENZ

Our visit to this spectacular royal palace took several hours, we had a free audio guide in English - but, we finally had to set that aside and just wander around and take in all of the treasures. I am not going to comment on each picture, there is just too much info. I tried to give a sample of all the different things we saw during our tour - enjoy!

The Ancestral Hall in Munich Residenz - the first room we visited, it was just a precursor to all the extravagance we were going to see!

The “family tree” of the monarchy.

The Grotto - covered top to bottom in seashells. Really spectacular!

After our lengthy visit to the palace, we decided to re-visit the HofbrauHaus for lunch. This time we sat outside in their beer garden, enjoying the shade and a nice breeze. I didn’t take any pictures in the garden, not sure why, guess I was a bit distracted by the food and adult beverages! We did wander inside to take a couple of pictures that I missed on our first visit.

We sat in the beer garden for a good 90 minutes, just resting and cooling off. After our rest, we headed over to the New Town Hall and watched the tower clock do its thing (very entertaining performance on the hour). We then went up in the tower for some great views of Munich.

Looking toward Odeonsplatz from the tower.

Doug, acting like he was imprisoned in the tower, not sure exactly why he was feeling that way!

From the tower, we could see Frauenkirche - so we decided to go check it out:

We finished our day at Asamkirche - it was undergoing renovations, so I couldn’t get a great picture of the front and pictures are not allowed inside:

We had dinner at a local beer garden by our hotel, I didn’t get any pictures there because we had to leave in a hurry when a huge thunderstorm moved in. We barely made it back to our hotel before it started pouring! Tomorrow we head to Salzburg - been a great visit to Munich!

June 1st: did a speedrun of the city, honestly. Way more walkable than Berlin, which I appreciate. I saw Asamkirche, Neues Rathaus, Saint Peter's Church, Viktualienmarkt, Heilig-Geist-Kirche, National Theatre, Munich Residenz, Theatinkirche, Hofgarten, Eisbachwelle (the river surfers were incredible!), Englischer Garten, Bavarian National, Frauenkirche, Michaelskirche, Nymphenburger Sloss and the Botanical Gardens within, which were lovely and they had turtles! Also, as you might've noticed, Munich has loads of churches.
