INSIGHT TAROM Prim\var\/Spring 2007 15
Schwabing, locul scriitorilor, al poe]ilor, actorilor [i muzicienilor, dar [i
preferatul studen]ilor, pentru escapade nocturne mai pu]in previzibile
din perspectiva... spiritului nem]esc. Via]a de noapte a ora[ului are
acela[i chip cu anotimpurile. La `nceputul anului s-a `ncheiat Fasching,
carnavalul bavarez, pornit prin noiembrie, cu `ncoronarea Regelui [i a
Reginei Nebunilor, prilej cu care s-au etalat admira]iei publice unele dintre
cele mai insolite [i fascinante rochii de bal. O mare parad\ pune
punct, `n plin\ strad\, fermec\torului exces de fantezie.

ing, since the first decades of the
last century, in Schwabing, a hangout
for writers, poets, actors and
musicians, but also a favorite spot
among students for spending the
evening out, which is not so expected,
from the perspective of ... the
German spirit. The city’s nightlife
has the same face as the seasons.
The Bavarian carnival Fasching,
which draws to a close at the beginning
of the year, begins in November
with the coronation of the
King and Queen of Fools, an opportunity
for the public to see a parade
of some of the most unique and fas-

ends, in the middle a crowded street,
the charming excess of fantasy.

Residenz Palace is always the
target of a traditional promenade
A LANDSCAPE WITH
BEAUTIFUL OBJECTS
There is no shortage of Bavarian
antiquities, from the cheapest clay
tradi]ionalul rustic, iar postbelicul arhitectural separ\ zone compacte through the trees that mark beer steins to the massive furniture,
de cl\diri venerabile, unele dintre ele dat‚nd nici mai mult, nici mai

`ns\, f\r\ drept de apel, gloria Bavariei, `n detrimentul goticului, care...
nu a prins aici, `n Sud.
Altstadt este situl ora[ului medieval, cuprins `ntre Sendlinger Tor,
Isartor, Odeonsplatz [i Karlstor. La nord-vest, palatul Nimfenburg [i frumosul
s\u parc g\zduiesc fabrica [i muzeul dedicat celebrului por]elan
cu acela[i nume. Str\b\t‚nd la pas toat\ aceast\ `ncreng\tur\ lini[titoare
de str\zi [i opere arhitectonice, ve]i descoperi c\, pe alocuri, normele au
interzis ridicarea unor cl\diri mai `nalte dec‚t Frauenkirche - catedralasimbol
Maximilianstrasse. Nearby there
are great collections of art - the
Modern Art Gallery, the Old and
the New Painting Gallery. The
Deutsches Museum, one of the
most important places dedicated to
science, was built on an island in
the Isar River. The new city imposed
itself irresistibly over the old
one. However, the long streets -
popular in the houses of farmers, at
the multitude of small shops on
Westenriederstrasse and Viktualienmarkt.
The shelves bend under
the weight of curiosity, superb
collections of old dolls and toys. At
the same time, unusual and inexpensive
objects and assorted trinkets
from all around Eastern Europe
are put on display at weekend
al ora[ului. ® Kaufingerstrasse or Neuhauserstra-
fairs, close to Arnulfstrasse the
®
sse, which are closed off to automobiles,
leave the main train station
and Karlstor - one of the city’s gates,
toward Marienplatz, the heart of
the Old Town. Here, in front of the
new city hall, stand the famous mechanical
characters of the carousel -
Glockenspiel. The center is densely
populated, fascinating, and can be
travelled on foot. Among German
cities, Munich drifts away from traditional
patterns, precisely because
one cannot identify a definite center
of the Old Town. The fresh and brilliant
nuances match wonderfully
with the rural traditions, while the
post-war architecture separates
compact areas of admired buildings,
some of them dating back to
the beginnings of the cty. The baroque
and rococo works claim, without
any dispute, the glory of Bavaria,
to the detriment of the Gothic
style, which did not have much success
here in the south of Germany.
Altstads is the site of the medieval
town, nestled among Sendlinger
Tor, Isartor, Odeonsplatz and Karlstor.
Toward the northwest, Nimfenburg
Palace and its beautiful
park play host to the factory and
museum dedicated to the famous
porcelain of the same name. Exploring
this gentle network of streets
and architectural works on foot,
you will discover that, here and
there, regulations have forbidden
the construction of buildings taller
than Frauenkirche - the cathedral
which serves as a symbol of the city.
