More about the new "Heimat-Taler Bayern" collection series in gold or silver
To appreciate the sights of Upper Bavaria, the "Heimat-Taler" appear in fine silver and fine gold.
They are issued by the company EuroMint Europäische Münzen-Gesellschaft,
which produced the coins exclusively for the Münchener Merkur/tz media group.
The edition is limited to 100 copies in gold and 1,000 copies in silver.
The six most beautiful sights in Upper Bavaria can be found on both variants:
Herrenchiemsee Palace
: The famous Herrenchiemsee New Palace was built on the model of Versailles Palace.
It was the last major construction project of the fairytale king Ludwig II, although he only lived in the castle for a few days.
The cost of the magnificent building even transferred the fairytale castle of Neuschwanstein and brought the king to the brink of bankruptcy.
More than 4.5 kilos of gold leaf have been used in the interior alone.
Although the king wanted his castles to be destroyed after his death, they were quickly made accessible to the public, so that the famous castles can still be admired today.
Burghausen Castle
: The longest castle in the world towers over Burghausen.
With an exact length of 1051 meters and a 1000-year history, Burghausen Castle lets visitors immerse themselves in a bygone era.
Burghausen was first mentioned in a document as an imperial estate in 1025 and developed into the second residence of the Dukes of Lower Bavaria.
Surrounded by six courtyards, the main castle is enthroned in the middle.
From the High Middle Ages to the early modern period, visitors can admire the different architectural styles.
Odeonsplatz
: Named after the Odeon concert hall, Odeonsplatz is located north of the historic old town.
The west wing of the residence is right on the square.
In addition, visitors can admire the theater church or the well-known Feldherrnhalle, where the equestrian statue of King Ludwig I is enthroned.
Today the square is one of the most important venues where concerts or cultural events are celebrated and Munich residents can enjoy the annual classical music concerts, for example.
Linderhof Castle
: The smallest of the three castles of Ludwig II is in the municipality of Ettal.
Linderhof Palace is considered the king's favorite palace and was one of his most frequent places to stay.
In the castle there are extraordinary things for that time.
For example, the dining room, where the set table could be transported directly from the kitchen to the dining room with the help of a lift.
The spectacular park also shows King Ludwig II's admiration for Richard Wagner, as three sets inspired by Wagner's dramas were erected there.
Ettal Abbey
: Founded by Ludwig the Bavarian on April 28, 1330, Ettal Abbey is now a popular tourist destination.
Even today there is a grammar school with boarding school in the monastery, which goes back to the founding of the Knights' Academy.
This was founded in 1710 and taught war sciences.
The monastery also has its own brewery and distillery, and you can enjoy your own drinks in the monastery hotel.
Visitors can also admire the outstanding stucco decorations and the entire monastery complex, which is one of the highlights of Bavarian architecture.
Freising Cathedral
: Unofficially also called Mariendom, the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Corbinian in Freising is an impressive church building that was built at the instigation of Pope Benedict XVI.
raised to the rank of concathedral.
The future priests of today's Archdiocese are ordained in the cathedral.
The Pope Emeritus was also consecrated here and visited the cathedral in 2006 at the end of his journey through Bavaria.
Above all, the towers are a landmark of Freising and show an unmistakable picture.
The reverse side of this special series is common to all Heimat thalers: the outline of Upper Bavaria and a picture of the Patrona Bavariae characterize the reverse.
