Three Bavarian Towns
Personify Foreign Lure
For American on Tour
Sd. NoUt CUrenc Toy, Medford
trident, now on tour ol Europe,
been giving Mall xrioune rou
M anm. nt th lnbereattnir hitch
lights of thli trip. The elxth letter
it,. uh from Mr. Tot follows:
IARLS COURT, 8. W., Sept. 26.
(6pl. Correspondence) Altho they
an pretty much taken for granted
by their Jnhawtanti ana
pie of the aurrounding province!
th. twm nf Nordllruten. Din-
b.i.i...ui T?rtthrthiiref in Bavar
ian Germany absolutely peraoniry
the thrill and interest of foreign
travel for an American tourui.
They aren't large, they have little
nn commercial Importance, and
v, nn-mmriinff scenerv la not par
ticularly Impressive, but what does
make them unque among all other
European cities la the fact that each
of them stands tnere xoaay anj
ad exactly as it was four and five
hundred yeara ago.
There are, of course, plenty of old
things to be seen in Europe. Mu
..um. feriria c.aitt1a. town halls
and so on are scattered all through
tne land until tne mem iocs m
ui .nnn inM th thrill it had at
first. But these three towns put
different Ugnt on tne romance
age and history., simply because no
where else will you find entire
towns standing today Identically
as they were during the height or
their meaeavai spienaor.
These are three of the so-called
"free cities" of the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries. The same wall,
mo nt and battlements that originally
withstood Invaders In the days be
fore archery became a garden apart
are still completely Intact, and no
new construction of any consequence
baa been permitted inside the walls
for oenturlfs. The new part of the
towns have all been built outside
the walls, so that wandering around
the twisting alleys and atreets of the
old cities la exactly like getting
a, free pass to a Hollywood movie
ct, only this Is Bavaria, and every
thing Is genuine.
Fortunately, neither of the towns
has been damaged by the ravages of
fire or war, and although a few
of the ahops have had piste glass
windows installed, and there are new
doorways here and there, the entire
aspect of each town la simply a full
scale model of Hth and lfith cen
tury civic culture.
The weight of the centuries has
sagged a few roofs and leaned a
few houses out of plumb, but such
marks of age only add to the plc
turesqueness of the scene as a whole.
The entire wall around each city la
still Intact with the original timbers
still In support, each of the old
tower gateways Is etlll used for the
entrances to the towns, the same
walls, roofs and floorings are In the
houses, the streets and lanes still
radiate like spokes in a wheel from
the city square to the encircling
walls; everything Is there Just as it
has been while the centuries have
marched past.
There art older things and places
in Europe than Nordllngen. Dlnkele-
buhl end Roth en burg, and perhaps
better known places as well, but
there 'a nothing that will bring
home the sense of historical perspec
tlvs like these three fine old Ger
man cities whlcb have been trans
planted lock, stock and barrel from
the Hth to the 20tb centu'.y.
Oberammergau Is alao a city or
ramer a Tillage of surprises, for de
spite the Intensity of Its world-wide
publicity, It Is a place of peaceful.
quiet, aignmed serenity.
During the year of the Passion
Play, Its appearance la probably
quite different, but now it In simply
a beautifully clean and quiet little
village, contentedly dozing away in
a green and fertile meaoow which
Is surrounded on three side by the
splendid heights of the Bavarian
Alps. The only outward signs of Its
renown are the postcard ahops scat
tered along the streets.
The theater where the Passion
Play Is held Is both the largest and
the ugliest - building In town, and
the only blatantly commercialized
structure to be seen, but - fortu
nately It ts located in an out of
the way corner of the town and
hard to find so that It does not
Jar on the rural calm of the rest of
the village.
The religious tone of the place is
clearly evident at once. The houses
are all good sized and shaded In
pastel colors, and nearly all have
biblical scenes painted serosa the
front. No( amateurishly done either,
but clearly the work of skilled
craftsmen, The name of the owner,
hla profession, and in some cases,
his part in the Passion Play are
likewise painted on the outside.
Even were it not for the play
Oberammergau 's setting against the
mountains, Its scrupulously clean
and tidy homes, the paintings and
the pastel shades of all the build
ings, and its settled atmosphere of
deep contentment make It a place
highly worth visiting.
Munich la the largest city in Ba
varia, and one of the moat Interest
ing of the larger cities of Germany
to visit. It Is loud, busy and mod
ern, but It reflects the wholesome
characteristics of the Bavarian peo
ple with their honesty, integrity and
their hospitality.
The three things most worth aeoing
In Munich are the Deutsche Mu
seum, the Hof Brau house, and the
botanical gardens. A tourist never
misses any of the three. The
Deutsches Museum la probably the
finest and most complete museum
of the physical sciences In the
world. Started In 1006, It has since
been enlarged and broadened until
It stands as one of the most re
markable tributes to German effic
iency and thorough new In the country.
The Idea behind ths museum was
to build an exhibit of the physical
sciences whlcb would demonstrate
to the scholar, as well as to laymen,
the history, development snd pres
ent stats of the sciences as com
pletely ss posslbls.
There srs exhibits, parts, and
working models scattered atl through
the museum In an Incredible array.
From the manufacture of a watch
spring to a full scale model of a
coal mine, and from a radio tube
to a full size submarine. There are
nine miles of aisles In the building.
and some slide rule shark has fig
ured that taking a minute for each
exhibit, 48 days would be required
to tour the whole show.
Astronomy, physics, chemistry, min
ing snd metallurgy, machine con
struction, transport, building con
struction. Industry, agriculture In
all of their various phases and de
velopments are on., display, and
whether you spend one hour or a
week looking around, the museum Is
of tremendous Interest,
The botanical gardens are of course
known the world over, and fascinat
ing as only an exquisite show of that
kind can be. Regardless whether
one Is a botanical expert, or un
certain whether geraniums come
from sprouts, bulbs, or storks, the
gardens are breath taking In their
beauty and extent.
The Hof Brau house la one of the
most famous beer gardens In all or
Germany. Here Is where Hitler did
a good deal of beer drlnJUng and
stein throwing during the early years
of his campaign, though the actual
room where he and hla seven com
rades formed the' nazl movement is
in another smaller and less Impres
sive beer garden further down the
street.
The Hof Brau is a huge building
dating back about three hundred
years, and is divided Into three
floors, the lower for the working
classes, the second for the next
higher strata of spenders, and the
top floor for those who can afford
to pay a mark admission price, as
well as the cost 'of the beer. Each
one of the floors seats about fifteen
hundred beer drinkers, and as each
stein of beer holds a liter, the
amount of beer consumed during
an evening's fun would even make
the Deutsches museum siide rule
expert scratch his head. ,
All the customers sit at long
tables which run the length of the
enormous hall. Take 1500 sturdy
German beer drinkers thumping
their steins on the table and bab
bling away at the tops of their
voices, the endless ahuffle of feet
of customers coming in and out, and
top this off with the blaring notes
of a 60 -piece brass band on a bal
cony at one end. and you have a
bedlam of nolte and confusion that
has made the Hof Brau house known
throughout the world.
Now and then the band breaks
Into a well-known German beer song
and everyone the length of the tables
locks arms with his neighbor, breaks
Into song, and the entire line sways
aide to side down the room In time
to the band and the singing. What
a sight. Honest, wholesome, full spir
ited, German fun. Loud talk, ueep
laughs, ringing songs and the mellow
Munich beer at 10 cents a liter. Yes,
Munich is a place that should not
be missed.
