Herzog Ludwig der Reiche

Feel the bronze under your fingers? You’re standing before Duke Ludwig the Rich, one of Bavaria’s most influential figures. Behind you, the stunning Basilica of St. Martin rises, another testament to the past. Ludwig was renowned for his strategic foresight and patronage of arts and sciences. Imagine him in the 15th century, shaping the region with his savvy marriage policies and economic reforms. As you stand here, it's almost as if you can hear history’s footsteps echoing across the cobblestones. Look to your left at the Theklakapelle, a church that could tell many stories of those times. This monument reminds us how one person can steer the fate of an entire region.
