Herrenchiemsee New Palace

Herrenchiemsee New Palace is located in Chiemsee, Germany. King Ludwig II of Bavaria had the royal palace built in 1878, but the palace was incomplete when he passed in 1886. A few weeks after his death, the castle was open to the public. The palace is modeled on Versailles and built as a “Temple of Fam” for King Louis XIV of France, whom Ludwig II admired. Unlike the original Versailles, Herrenchiemsee Palace has toilets, heat, and indoor plumbing. Only twenty of the building’s seventy rooms are finished. This includes the Great Hall of Mirrors, the State Bedroom, the State Staircase, a Ballroom with Roman Emperor statues, and the king’s French rococo-style apartment. In 1876, a large garden was created, including famous fountains, statues, and formal and informal gardens. In 1907, the unfinished North Wing was demolished, and the South Wing was never built. In 1923, Crown Prince Rupprecht ceded the palace to the State of Bavaria. Since 1987, the palace has served as a museum with twelve rooms on the ground floor in the south wing. The property is a complex of royal buildings, including an Augustinian monastery from 1645 in the Old Palace. The monastery was converted into living quarters for King Ludwig II as he inspected the progress of the New Palace. #Castles #Palaces

Steinmeier auf Herrenchiemsee

Eine bemerkenswert klare Rede -deutlich gegen die #NoAfD - hielt #Bundespräsident Frank-Walter #Steinmeier am 10. August auf #Herrenchiemsee, wo vor 75 Jahren der Verfassungskonvent die Grundlagen für die deutsche #Verfassung legte.

Eine bemerkenswert klare Rede hat Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier in dieser Woche in Herrenchiemsee gehalten. Der Anlass: Der 75. Jahrestag des Verfassungskonvents im Neuen Schloss Herrenchiemsee warnte der Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier gleichermaßen indirekt wie deutlich vor der AfD. Namentlich genannt wurde die rechtsextree Partei nicht – doch die Botschaft war eindeutig. „Wir…

VERSAILLES NOUVEAU, my poem

Men Island, but I can be your man

Marble cools, my heart’s on fire again

My body’s melting to the floor

Versailles has buried long time ago

Babe, we could have lived like this

Next time I’ll be kissing only bricks

I’ll wait for your boat to settle on the shore

I’ll be waiting right above them big gold doors

Sur la route du Danube, en train, en vélo, en voiture (3/3)

Wochenglück 16/23 - Camping und Grenzen überwinden

The Versailles of Bavaria - Herrenchiemsee Palace, built thanks to the enthusiasm of the Bavarian king Ludwing II.

(UNTITLED, my poem)

I’m bathing in statues of marble and I’m becoming one of them

Water turns into porcelain mass full of gems

And if you say you can’t build castles on air I’ve touched them with my own hands

I’ve ran my fingers through the crystal grottoes made of white sand

I got a crown, not heavy to wear

And when the moon comes out I got the wild stare

Maybe you had met me there

And I’ll get there once again
