Day 4b – English Garden\"Munich<\/a><\/h2>\n

Our trek to the English Garden<\/a> continued after our 1\/2 liter of beer and respite at Augustiner Klosterwirt<\/a>.\u00a0 The green-space in Munich was pretty amazing; even more wonderful is the fact that much of that space contain beer gardens!<\/p>\n

Hofgarten and\u00a0Diana Tempel<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This garden was adjacent to the English Garden.\u00a0 The landscape maintenance in Munich must employee a lot of people.\u00a0 Most every place we visited had beautiful flowers and well-maintained grounds.<\/p>\n

The garden was built in 1613\u20131617 by\u00a0Maximilian I, Elector of Bavaria\u00a0as an Italian style\u00a0Renaissance\u00a0garden. In the center of the garden is a\u00a0pavilion\u00a0for the goddess\u00a0Diana, built in 1615 by\u00a0Heinrich Sch\u00f6n\u00a0the elder.\u00a0 -wikipedia<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bayerische Staatskanzlei – State Government Office<\/h2>\n

We passed by this magnificent structure on way to the English Garden.\u00a0 So much glass you’d think it was a green house of sorts.\u00a0 Beautiful building to conduct government business from.<\/p>\n

The Bavarian State Chancellery is serving as the executive office of the\u00a0Minister-President\u00a0as\u00a0head of government. The agency’s primary function is to assist the Minister-President in coordinating the activities of the Bavarian State Government, similar to the\u00a0German Chancellery\u00a0on\u00a0federal\u00a0level. – wikipedia<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

English Garten<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0\u00a0English Garden<\/i>\u00a0is a large\u00a0public park\u00a0in the centre of\u00a0Munich,\u00a0Bavaria, stretching from the city centre to the northeastern city limits. It was created in 1789 by\u00a0Sir Benjamin Thompson\u00a0(1753\u20131814), later Count Rumford (Reichsgraf von Rumford<\/i>), for\u00a0Prince Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria. Thompson’s successors,\u00a0Reinhard von Werneck\u00a0(1757\u20131842) and\u00a0Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell\u00a0(1750\u20131823), advisers on the project from its beginning, both extended and improved the park.<\/p>\n

With an area of 1.4\u00a0sq\u00a0mi (910 acres), the\u00a0English Garden<\/i>\u00a0is\u00a0one of world’s largest urban public parks.\u00a0 – wikipedia<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
