Ringberg Castle on Tegernsee

Authors

More about the book

Ringberg Castle on Tegernsee is the youngest and last example of a long-lasting building tradition of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Duke Luitpold had this complex built over a period of six decades, from 1913 to his death in 1973, taking a similar interest in the progress as his uncle King Ludwig II during the construction of his “fairy tale castles.” Ringberg Palace is an artwork that is unequalled in Europe. It impressively reflects the changes in art in the period between late Historicism, Art Nouveau, Art Déco, regional styles, Neo-Classicism, Modernism and National-Socialist Classicism. It was one single person who designed both the architecture and the furnishings: the Munich painter Friedrich Attenhuber, Luitpold’s “house artist”. Duke Luitpold bequeathed Ringberg Palace to the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, which today uses the premises for academic conventions.
