Munich in the Founder and Prince Regent Era

Munich at the turn of the century: Large milling operations have been supplying the city with flour, timber, gypsum, and cement without electricity in recent years. The Bachauskehr, the annual ritual of draining and cleaning the mill streams, remains a firm part of the city's landscape during the time of Prince Regent Luitpold. Just a few years later, the mills will fall victim to the continuous expansion of the metropolis. Along with them, entire industries and their associated social structures will disappear. Maria Walser, heir to the Walser mill, vividly and atmospherically describes how she experienced this long-lost world. A fascinating portrait of Munich that brings the heyday of craftsmanship and milling back to life one last time. With the fourth volume of the series Forgotten Bavaria, the long out-of-print original edition of the Bachauskehr from 2008 is being reissued.
