Monochrome Monday Nymphenburg

Neuer Job - Blick zurück

Heute hab ich meinen neuen Job angetreten in München - Zeit etwas zurückzublicken. Vor mehr als 18 Jahren startete ich in mein München Abenteuer - mein damaliger Arbeitsplatz befand sich im schönen Nymphenburg, direkt am Schloßpark gelegen. Schön war es - tolles Parkgelände mit einer Perle in Monochrome abgelichtet.

Munich Pavillon in Monochrome

This little abandoned pavilion is located on the palace grounds of the Castle Nymphenburg in Munich and called Magdalenenklause (Magdalene Hermitage). The building was constructed between 1725-28 by Joseph Effner and is a perfect submission for MonochromeMonday by @old-guy-photos. Posting this today as a view back in time - my first job in Munich was located near this lovely place - today I started a new job, more on the surroundings from there soon.

The Magdalenenklause stands in a small wood and was even built as a ruin from the outside. Some cracks in the masonry and crumbling plaster serve as a reminder of the frailty of all things earthly. The hermitage was made on behalf of the elector so he had the chance to escape from reality. The famous architect Effner was using exotic and historicizing architectural forms and hereby produced ,a romantic and anachronistic structure. A lovely place for a walk during the weekend.
