Munich in the Founder and Prince Regent Era

Munich at the turn of the century: Large mill operations supply the city with flour, timber, gypsum and cement in the last years without electricity. The brook sweeping, the annual ritual of draining and cleaning the mill streams, is still an integral part of the cityscape during the Prince Regent era. Only a few years later, the mills became a victim of the constant expansion of the city. Along with them, entire branches of the economy disappear, as do the associated social structures. Maria Walser, heiress to the "Walsermühle", describes in a gripping and atmospheric way how she experienced this long-sunken world. A fascinating portrait of Munich that revives the heyday of the craft and the mills one last time. The fourth volume in the "Forgotten Bavaria" series reissues the long out-of-print original edition of "Bachauskehr" from 2008.
