Places to see in ( Wurzburg - Germany ) Residenzplatz
Places to see in ( Wurzburg - Germany ) Residenzplatz
The Residenzplatz is a large paved open space in front of the residence in Würzburg's old town. To the north it is framed by the Rosenbach Palace and the arcades to the Rosenbach Park , in the south of envoy building ( Residenz-Gaststätten ) and Hofgarten , to the east is the Residenz and Hofkirche . Along the square leads the Balthasar Neumann promenade and the Rennweg .
Until the 14th century, the area was outside the bishop's hat and was only included together with the suburb Rennweg in the walled area. From 1701, the Rennweger Schlösschen was built in the area of today's Residenzplatz by Antonio Petrini . It was much smaller than the later residence and was due to subsidence in the ground and associated cracking not covered, but canceled for the construction of the residence again.
Until 1821 , the court of honor of the residence was delimited by a curved wrought-iron grille by Johann Georg Oegg . Since 1894 adorns the square of the Frankonia fountain , which is dedicated to the Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria .
The Residenzplatz served from 1933 often for parades and actions of Nazi organizations. In 1944 , the National Socialists faked on the square false, provided with wooden railing streets to the appearance. The aim was to deceive the aerial photographs of reconnaissance aircraft of the Allies.

Travel Germany - Welcome to Würzburg
Würzburg makes a delightful destination for a day or two - - not just the few hours recommended by tour guides.
While much of the town has been re-built since the destruction of WWII, the beauty and general character of the city have been retained. The Würzburg Residenz (palace) has been authentically re-constructed.
The Marienberg Fortress retains it's regal position. (A fortress has been here since the bronze age!) Now the fortress, in addition to being a fascinating castle, is home to an excellent collection of Franconian art.
Sadly, a buildings have modernized or only semi-restored, but the town is vital, fun, and filled with architectural and artistic wonders.

Würzburg Residence - Court Gardens - Walking Tour, Bavaria, Germany
Würzburg Residence - Court Gardens - Walking Tour, Bavaria, Germany
The Würzburg Residence (German: Würzburger Residenz) is a palace in Würzburg, Germany. Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt and Maximilian von Welsch, representatives of the Austrian/South German Baroque style, were involved in the construction, as well as Robert de Cotte and Germain Boffrand, who were followers of the French Style. Balthasar Neumann, court architect of the Bishop of Würzburg, was the principal architect of the Residence, which was commissioned by the Prince-Bishop of Würzburg Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn and his brother Friedrich Carl von Schönborn in 1720, and completed in 1744. The Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, assisted by his son, Domenico, painted frescoes in the building.
The Residence was built when Würzburg was still a fortified town. Therefore, the garden too had to be planned within the fortifications. The solution included two bastions of the fortified town wall, using its differences in height to create a very special landscape. From west to east there is a rise in ground, until the level of the wall is reached. Near the residence itself, the Hofgarten (or Court Gardens) is designed in a very formal, Baroque style. Farther away, the style changes to an English garden with small forests and meadows. Designs for the former part were made by Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt, Neumann and François de Cuvilliés. It was mainly created in 1759-70. Johann Peter Alexander Wagner added putti, vases, urns and two monumental sculpture groups, the Rape of Europa and the abduction of Proserpina, sited in the central axis between the Orangery and the southern pavilion of the Residence. The figures were added to the park under Prince-Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim, who had the park at Veitshöchheim similarly decorated. Three monumental gates lead to the Court Gardens, commissioned by Friedrich Karl von Schönborn from Joh. Georg Oegg.
The gardens and representative rooms described above are open to the public. A memorial room is dedicated to the Residence's destruction in March 1945. It also honours Lieutenant John Davis Skilton, a Monuments man of the U.S. Army who was instrumental in preserving many of the art treasures after his arrival at Würzburg in June 1945.
Most of the rest of the residence is occupied by a the Martin von Wagner Museum (moved here in 1963) and organizations of the University of Würzburg.

38. Treppenhaus der Würzburger Residenz, 1737, Neumann/Tiepolo, Würzburg, Deutschland
Ein berühmtes Vorbild
Heute schauen wir uns noch ein Barock-Schloss an. Es befindet sich im Süden von Deutschland, in Würzburg. Es ist eine überaus prächtige Residenz.
Die Residenz wurde von einem Architekten namens Balthasar Neumann erbaut. Und das Vorbild war natürlich Versailles! Das Schloss vom Sonnenkönig. Erinnerst Du Dich?
Balthasar Neumann hat unzählige Schlösser und auch Kirchen in Deutschland gebaut. Er war damals, vor circa 260 Jahren, eine richtige Berühmtheit. Und auch noch heute staunen wir über seine Gebäude!
Lass uns doch einmal hineingehen! Aber hoffentlich verlaufen wir uns nicht…. Denn die Residenz hat 300 Zimmer!
Ein Geheimnis im Treppenhaus
Schauen wir uns einmal das beeindruckende Treppenhaus an. Es diente, wie fast alles in solch einem Gebäude, der Repräsentation. Ein solches Treppenhaus gehörte in jedes vernünftige Schloss: Auf der Treppe konnten sich alle wie bei einer Modeschau präsentieren. Und die Leute sollten natürlich sofort erkennen, wie mächtig und reich der Besitzer ist.
Lass Deinen Blick einmal nach oben gleiten. Dort siehst Du ein riesiges Bild, direkt auf die Decke gemalt, ein sogenanntes Deckenfresko. Auf dem Bild fliegen viele Menschen und Götter durch die Lüfte. Und ein Mann am unteren Rand sitzt auf einer Kanone. Ein Hund schnuppert an ihm.
Dieser Mann soll Balthasar Neumann, der Architekt des Schlosses sein. Der ebenfalls sehr berühmte Maler Tiepolo malte den Architekten als Anerkennung für seine großartige Leistung.
So wissen wir auch heute noch, wie der berühmte Architekt der Würzburger Residenz aussah. Vielleicht gehörte ihm auch der Hund?
Würzburg Festung Marienberg
Die Festung Marienberg liegt oberhalb der Universitätsstadt Würzburg am Main und ist ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel. Die Geschichte der Festung reicht bis um 1000 v. Chr. Heute befindet sich in der Festung das Museum für Franken, das Fürstenbaumuseum, Gastronomie und ein Tagungszentrum.

The Venetian painter Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, assisted by his son, Domenico, painted frescoes in the building.
Interiors considered masterworks of Baroque/Rococo or Neoclassical architecture and art include the grand staircase, the chapel, and the Imperial Hall. The building was reportedly called the largest parsonage in Europe by Napoleon. It was heavily damaged by Allied bombing during World War II, and restoration has been in progress since 1945. Since 1981, the Residence has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Würzburg Residence with its Court Gardens and Residence Square was inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1981. According to the Advisory Body Evaluation, the inclusion in the List was a measure... so clearly desirable that the proposal of the Federal Republic of Germany does not require lengthy justification... The Residence is at once the most homogeneous and the most extraordinary of the Baroque palaces... It represents a unique artistic realization by virtue of its ambitious program, the originality of creative spirit and the international character of its workshop.
The Residence was constructed on a baseplate of 92 × 167 meters. The main structure consists of a central wing with two side wings, the north and south blocks, each with two interior courts. On the town side the side wings extend 55 m from the main structure, partially enclosing the Cour d'honneur. Beneath the mansard roof there is a cornice, decorated with vases and trophies. The façade around the main portal in the Cour d'honneur is particularly richly decorated.
In Baroque style, the staircase gained importance as part of a formal reception room. The staircase of the Würzburg Residence spans its vault, an area of 18 × 32 meters, without pillars. Beneath an unsupported trough vault, a masterpiece of construction with a maximum height of 23 meters.
