Guided Story

Can you hear the gentle murmur? That's the Wittelsbacher Fountain, just northeast of you. Imagine being here in the late 19th century, when this was a hub for the city's elite. Elegant men and women strolled around, discussing politics and art. Look up at the facades; they whisper tales of old wealth. Behind you, the Bernheimer-Haus stands as a testament to history's endurance. And further southeast, the Maxturm looms like a silent guardian. It's hard not to be swept up by the stories that linger at every corner here.
