Munich - Court Hall Hofbräuhaus
|
|
This world-famous hall in the older part of Munich, one of the city's major tourist attractions, was established by Duke Wilhelm V as long ago as 1589 in order to provide for the needs of his Court and domestic staff (Hofbräuhaus means Court Brew-House); but it was not until 1828, when the citizens of Munich were allowed for the first time. Its fame as a place of conviviality soon spread far beyond the bounds of the city, a fame enhanced by a popular song, "In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus". In 1890 the Hofbräuhaus, rebuilt in the Neo-Classical style, became a large and busy hall.
