On a sunny July day, we were a group of art history students, on a trip to Ansbach - as part of an exercise of a well-known monuments. After the obligatory tour of the city, we looked at in detail in the residence. From the station, we are initially passed to the parish church of St. Louis (1 & 2). It was built in 1777/78 by the Munich architect Schmidtner Leonhardt, who also include re-Gothicised St. Jodok in Landshut . The early classical church received its patronage by King Ludwig I and after the St. Louis (see the Munich Ludwig Church ). found on the website of the parish, astonishingly comprehensive, art-historical tour with numerous illustrations.

Although I have in the current Promenadology not yet incorporated as accurate, I found but, as friend and prospective representatives of the (art-) historical research Promenade, the Ansbacher " Promenade " very interesting. Apart from the fact that they still as is, it is extremely well preserved (see the disastrous Altstadtring-car racing everywhere). The urban situation, at the city entrances / gates and the old city-edge development on the old ditches, still leaves much of the state of the 18 Guess century (3). To be honest, it must be said, however, that the aesthetically acceptable maintenance of such urban spaces in a relatively small city like Ansbach is easier than elsewhere.

for several hours, professionally managed tour of the pomp and guest apartments and numerous consuming, Baroque chamber ensemble, has informed us that Ansbach as one of the most outstanding, art history is not detailed enough appreciated castles in Bavaria brought to eyes (thanks to the hosts and the supervisor of the trip:). In particular, the sometimes very complete and well-preserved original wall coverings and chair slipcovers find a remarkable feature dar.
to the online publication of interior photographs I renounce principle of locks! Please ride itself out and have a look at the person! There is also a current official leader of the Bavarian Administration of State Palaces, Gardens and lakes, which lists all the equipment in detail. Unfortunately, the interest stops at this late Baroque interior design highlights so far rather limited. Absolutely sensational architecture, the facade of the courtyard (1716-30) by the architect Gabriel de Gabrieli that has me as a friend, almost the most impressive architecture (5). For the other phases also see Karl Friedrich Zocha (1719-30) and Leopold Retti (1731-49).

to our tour of the residence was in the Ansbacher Case, a great way roof inspection. There was scaffolded facade of the main promenade up straight for restoration work on the roof, you could look at Selbig, the Balustradenfiguren and the city cast (4). From there, the view east of the Promenade located Orangery, with its magnificent castle planted garden (6).

As in any city I have looked at the great city churches: the two main churches St. Gumbertus (7 & 8) and St. John's (9 and 10). Since not All chapels and crypts Anräume were available, there are already several reasons to go back soon to Ansbach. I can recommend to everyone! Perhaps we might as well under Forma do it over. An enforced stay in the Umsteigebahnhofsstadt Treuchtlingen rounded out the field trip.
