Menterschwaige manor
The farm Menterschwaige is a listed, three-winged building in Munich directly on the high banks of the Isar separated only by a public footpath and cycle and ancient forests from the edge of the slope. It is located in the Harlaching district of Munich , and the surrounding area is named after him as Menterschwaige . Today there is an inn with a beer garden in the manor .
history
The Menterschwaige goes back to a Schwaige called Harthausen , which was first mentioned in a deed of ownership around 1012. The name comes from the word Hardt for a high forest. Since 1189, the Schwaige has also had a church , which was built south of the farm on the clearing on the edge of the Perlacher Forest . In the 15th century, like Grünwald, some five kilometers south, came into the possession of the Dukes of Bavaria . Duke Johann IV. Withdrew from Munich to the remote Schwaige Harthausen in the plague year of 1463, but was nevertheless infected and died there.
In 1504 the manor burned down, the rebuilt farm was destroyed by the Swedes in 1632 during the Thirty Years' War . Elector Ferdinand Maria gave the property to his Oberlandeshofmeister Maximilian Graf von Kurz in 1660, who again built a farm there with cattle ranching. After his death, the ducal family acquired the Schwaige again, and it remained in the possession of the Wittelsbach family until 1793 .
Excursion destination in the 19th century
The farm was then sold several times in quick succession. The first buyer was the Reichsgrave Marquart von Kreith, from whom the banking family Nockher die Schwaige, known for the Nockherberg , acquired . In 1803 Nockher opened an inn for the first time in the former estate. The next owner was the Swiss David Edvard. In 1807 Peter Johann Gaibl acquired the farm. He already ran the Menter brewery and restaurant in Munich's old town, so that he was known as "Menterbräu" and since then the Hardhausen Inn and Estate have been known as Menterschwaige.
Due to its charming location on the high bank with a view of the river and the Alps, the inn became a much-visited destination for rural parties from the city, and longer stays in the summer were also popular. It is described as a "lonely inn [...] where the magnificent mountains allow us a confidential look into his lap for the first time" and the Menterschwaige "is one of the most popular places to visit, especially on Sundays and public holidays and on May 1st , where thousands of people come together here. ”Travel reports from visitors to Munich around the mid-19th century almost always mention a trip to Menterschwaige.
The annual artist festivals that King Ludwig I organized in the Menterschwaige were of particular importance . Originally scheduled for May 1st, they were often postponed due to the weather, sometimes well into June. These were joint celebrations for all Munich artists and singers' associations , which took a promenade with "music, flags, women, drinking horns and umbrellas" from the city for around an hour and a half along the Isar to the inn. A fairground with various stages and backdrops had been set up there, on which “knights, ghosts, ghosts, mourning and horror comedies” were presented. There were lavish meals and May buck .
According to countless publications, Lola Montez , the king's improper lover, is said to have hidden in the Menterschwaige on February 11, 1848, when riots broke out in Munich on her account. This information is wrong. Montez spent the first night after her escape from the city on the other bank of the Isar in an inn in Großhesselohe , as evidenced by a letter from her hand to the king. The next night she withdrew to the Blutenburg and then fled to Switzerland via Lindau .
The renovation in 1899
In 1896 the construction company Heilmann & Littmann bought the inn and the associated property of 52 hectares for 450,000 marks . Jakob Heilmann developed the region for the Menterschwaige villa colony of the same name . He sold the actual inn with four hectares of land in 1898 to the public limited company Bürgerliches Bräuhaus Munich , on whose supervisory board Heilmann sat, for 220,000 marks. In the following year, the brewery tore down agricultural outbuildings and converted the plant. At that time, she built the existing building stock. It consists of the historical main building under a mansard roof with two guest rooms on the ground floor and two more on the upper floor as well as an adjoining beer hall with cross vaults in the former cowshed. The large “restaurant room with stage” in the south wing, which is arranged parallel to the main building, was connected via a connecting wing with a kitchen, cold room and two further guest rooms. From another hall directly on the edge of the slope beyond the public path, only parts of the foundations have been preserved. The opening of the tram to Grünwald in 1910 with a Menterschwaige stop made access easier. In 1921 the Bürgerbräu merged with Löwenbräu . After the Second World War , the United States confiscated the Menterschwaige inn and most of the villas in the surrounding district. A cinema was set up in the hall. At the end of the 1950s, Löwenbräu received the Menterschwaige back and restored the estate.
Today, the Menterschwaige is a restaurant with around 500 seats in different rooms and a Munich beer garden with over 2000 seats. The outbuilding at Hochleite 71 , which is also incorrectly called the Lola Montez House , can be rented for events.
St. Margaretha Church
In 1189 the associated church was consecrated under the patronage of St. Margaretha by Bishop Otto II von Freising . It was subordinate to the Schäftlarn monastery as a subsidiary church . For 1315 it is proven that the church belonged to the parish of Bogenhausen . Later it was assigned as a side church to the branch church in Giesing , in 1628 it was subordinated to the newly established parish in the Au . Around 1750 the church was expanded and rebuilt through donations from the later owners of the Nockher estate, and it was lavishly furnished in the Rococo style. After secularization in 1803 , the owner of the estate at that time, Edvard, mistakenly considered the church to be his property, even though it was not subject to secularization as a parish church, and had it demolished in 1804. He sold the furnishings through an antique dealer. This was only noticed in 1807 when the new owner, Gaigl, asked for permission to set up an altar room for house services.
