Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen

- Mysterious places, new German "lost places", are evidently booming.

Book after book appears that leads readers to particularly enigmatic places in Bavarian history.

This is also the case with the book by Anne Dreesbach and Laura Bachmann with the title “Lost and Dark Places Upper Bavaria: 33 Forgotten, Abandoned and Eerie Places”, published by Bruckmann-Verlag.

Three of the 33 locations are on the east bank of Lake Starnberg: The Wiedemann Clinic in Ambach, the Villa Max in Ammerland and the municipality of Berg, where the so-called fairy tale king Ludwig II died under circumstances that have not yet been fully clarified.

It is rather unusual that the Wiedemann Clinic in Münsing has found its way into a print product.

There are a lot of videos circulating on the Internet, especially on Youtube, that was all so far.

In the book, the clinic is referred to - relatively strikingly - as the “ghost clinic on Lake Starnberg”.

Film stars like Klausjürgen Wussow or Harald Juhnke would once have wanted to secure the source of eternal youth there in the form of a rejuvenation treatment.

But nothing can be seen of the former glory.

“What used to be glorious is eerie today.” After several changes of ownership, “there was finally a shift in the shaft”.

The continued use - here you have to contradict the authors - is more than a rumor, the Ambach senior citizens' home is a done deal.

After all, it is expressly pointed out that the area is guarded by a security service.

"If you really want to take a look inside the building, but don't want to risk criminal proceedings for trespassing, you should take a look around on YouTube."

There is also talk of “former glory” in connection with the Villa Max.

Here, on Seestrasse in Ammerland, resided the painter, a "colorful and polarizing personality, highly valued as a painter, but viewed critically by some contemporaries for his penchant for the supernatural".

The fact that the villa would now offer the “perfect set for a horror film” is thanks to the owner, who let the house fall into disrepair and has submitted several demolition requests, which have always been rejected.

Good thing about the chapter: It shows the grave of the artist at the Südfriedhof in Munich and directs the reader to the Neue Pinakothek, where the picture “The Anatom” can be seen.

The chapter "Death in the Lake" is not quite as clichéd, but provided with a lot of historical information - the death of Ludwig II on Lake Starnberg in 1886, which was surrounded by many myths. You learn a lot about the castle, the summer residence of Ludwig's father Maximilian II Also about Ludwig's love for this castle, which he had a large tower added to.

His name: Isolde, who always showed the steamer Tristan (and Wagner admirer Ludwig) the way home.

It doesn't get really scary with any of this.

At most when it comes to the hint that today you can swim where Ludwig's body was once found - below the votive chapel.
