Ludwig I of Bavaria: Art, Architecture, and Revolutions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 жов 2021
- Ludwig I was a great art-lover, and much like his grandson Ludwig II, he would leave an impressive architectural legacy behind. He was on a quest to turn Munich into one of the great cultural hubs of Europe, erecting a large number of museums, a new university and national library etc. He also glorified his native Bavaria and Germany as a whole through great monuments like the Walhalla and the Hall of Liberation. Although originally quite liberal, he would soon try to centralize power to himself, and his reign would be marked by controversy and the threat of revolution.

It's pretty insane how much he managed to get built. I didn't even cover everything here!
It certainly would have been a much longer video. :)
Where do you get the info for these Bavarian videos? Are there books?
This channel is so awesome! I love the videos about beautiful architecture. Do Belgium and the Czech Republic as your next videos! The best architecture in the world. Or maybe Austria.
@@christopherhardy8808 Not for this series. My sources are listed in the description.
Quite fascinating to see your enthusiasm about Bavaria. I would not take your accent for German.
Dear Kings and Things
As a saudi young man, I must greatly thank you, for exposing me to such sights that i would have been otherwise unable to see. allow me to express my deep sorrow in this humble letter.
I have always been in love with the arts and found solace in baroque and romantic composers, but I unfotuntaly lived in a community where all forms of music was considered demonic and that of devil.
I however could not care less of how it would negatively affect my reputation.
To imagine living in a society where art is respected and displayed with pride and not shame i am at a loss of my words. Oh god the sleepless nights thinking of this dystopian society, my heartaches and my tears are dry. but in spite of all of that i promise that i will immortalize art within me by learning it and displaying it proudly.
Sincerely.
Who could have thought that an oil rich country, which solely prides itself with its soulless skyscrapers is hell on earth for artists and creative minds in general. Keep it up though :)
Imagine this dude got ostracize for having pride on classical art. Now that is BASED.
I share your sorrow, my friend. Here in Canada, I mourn the loss of beauty in our cities. In Montreal, eyesores are being spread around like a foul disease. It’s architecture completely soulless and devoid of any sense of identity.
My heart goes out to you, friend. Having heard Mahler's 5th, I could die peacefully. Beauty is life. Keep loving good things
@@adamcheklat7387 *In Québec, Montréal had such a unique urban identity you can see in old 60s-early 2000s movies I'm a big fan of.
As a Greek my respect for king Ludwig is huge. He was one of the foreign nationals that contributed a lot on the war of independence
Enjoy it while it lasts. Greek will be conquered by the Turks again at some point.
@@kingstarscream320 I am not gonna argue with a barbarian because I dont have time to lose. But keep in mind that a nation that existed for 4000 years can't go away any soon.
@@Macedonio_le_provocateur_ I’m no Turk. I’m just stating what is likely, for better or worse.
@@kingstarscream320 Listen mate , Turkey although it has some military superiority it can't conquer Greece because of diplomacy. Do you remember when Saddam tried conquering Kuwait? Also in the Persian wars although the Achaemenids had a far superior army and the Greeks didn't even have a centralised state , they still won because they knew the terrain of their country better than the Persians and adapted to this type of warfare over time
@@kingstarscream320 war between european States is impossible
In 2021
Excellent video. Ludwig I transformed Athens the same way he did with Munich. He was also heavily involved in the Greek nation building process.
Yes! The Greek Flag colors white and blue where inspired by Bavarian Flag colors: white and blue! Symbol of the Bavarian sky: white and blue!
@@petermages9482 the greek flag was already blue and white before the Bavarians came to rule. When Otto came as the king they just made the blue more light to fit in with the bavarian colours
I'm an admirer of his grandson, and have several original photographs of him and of his castles, along with a fairly good-sized library of books on his life. I also have a first edition of the 'Essays' of Lola Montez. Rulers who spends money on art and architecture, are certainly preferable to many in history. :) Thank you for this video - it was very interesting - you certainly hit all the major highlights of Ludwig I's life and rule.
Bavaria is so interesting!!!!! I absolutely had no clue that it's monarchs were patrons of arts like this!
As someone who grew up in Munich and being in all these places in the city i have very big appreciation for what he did to it
You should ABSOLUTELY make a video in the same fashion on Vienna's Ring boulevard and its monumental works of architecture!
Yes, absolutely!
@@avian8338 It would fit perfectly into his style of videos, and the Ringstrasse boulevard was an even grander architectural and cultural project.
Bavaria is unbelievable beautiful
It’s the little details I find most interesting about history. The ones that put the timeline in perspective, like Ludwig’s sons being notified of his condition via telegraph. It’s odd to think that Napoleon was alive to see the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, that Abraham Lincoln’s coordination of civil war strategy was dependent on telegraph and railroad networks, and that Neuschwanstein Castle was built with a modern steel skeleton construction and its own direct telephone line.
21:30 After having free beer given to them, the protesters dissolved peacefully.
Yep, that's Bavaria right there.
I've just binged the whole Bavarian monarchs series, and I must say, job well done! Very high quality and your voice is very soothing.
The only time a new video is uploaded to UA-cam and I get excited; your channel is a gem! Please never stop doing this, in fact I even suggest diversification into other smaller, lesser known states such as the kingdoms, duchies and republics of the Italian peninsula as well as those of the HRE. You will always have my full support, thank you from Malta!
i really wish you had finished this series
This has been my favorite one yet, though all of them have been great. I would love to see videos on all the other kingly families of Germany (Wurttemberg, Prussia and Saxony). Thank you for your wonderful work!
There was like 20 royal families more in Germany at that point. So sad that the treaty of Versailles destroyed it all.
@@szymongolac7853 I agree
Covering the house of Wettin would be interesting considering their connection to Poland and how King Frederick Augustus I was planned to have been the king of a restored Poland. Or the other king whose head was crushed by a horse after he tripped in front of a carriage
If I've ever been born a king I would propably ruined the economy by just building pretty buildings.
Worth it.
He gave it all up for love , Lola Montez & he was the grandfather of the mad king Ludwig , who probably lost his life through his attachment to a young man , his buildings were even more fantastic , those Wittelbachs certainly put their cousins the Battenburg -Windsor’s in the shade . Great video , not a presenter in sight, makes me want to go there , thank you .
The very eminent role of Bavaria and its monarchy in preserving and nurturing the arts has become somewhat obscure over time. This channel beautifully illustrates the significance of Bavaria as it evolved through centuries. The narrator's command of the English language is admirable. Isleños from the Canary Islands founded St. Bernard Civil Parish, adjoining New Orleans in 1779-1780 during the Spanish colonial period of Louisiana. Just as Spain and her role in the development of Louisiana has been largely forgotten, the role of settlers from the Rhineland in French colonial Louisiana is little known, much less the tremendous 19th century emigration of German speakers from Bavaria, Baden, the Palatinate and Alsace in present day France is overlooked as well. Channels such as this are virally important in establishing a more complete historical context. Thank you very much!
It is insane how elaborate, complex, yours videos are. You are amazing, great video as usual 👏
This channel makes me think how great Germany would be under enlightened Wittelsbach reign.
It would never have industrialised
gratitude fe
Yes! Another great video. :D
Another outstanding video. Your posts are consistently among the best on the internet in this genre.
It's not as well known as the on of his grandchild but he left some of the most beautiful constructions of Munich to his people 🧐
The man can quote August. He came to Munich a city of bricks and left it a citu of marble.
Beautifully scripted and read. Well paced, dispassionate and adroitly illustrated and edited.
That was simply and utterly magnificent - thank you!
Just found this video/channel, thank you. They are detailed, well researched and sophisticated, well done on the quality.
You channel is amazing. It makes me so thankful for people like you and for UA-cam. Thank you
Fantastic video. I can’t wait to watch all of your other videos.
As always, this was incredible to watch!

Brilliant, interesting and beautiful as always
This was so informative. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you
I really enjoyed it. Beautiful voice . It’s perfekt for Friends when they come to Munich. Thanks
Brilliant channel, thanks for the vid.
As a Munich resident it's really interesting to learn about the history of my new hometown.
I love your channel, keep up the good work
very interesting video, I never even heard of him and had no idea just how important of a ruler he was and how much of an influence he had
Well done. This was an excellent documentary. I love your narration style, succinct and punctual, similar to the German style you chose to emulate. Your elocution is quite pronounced, which is good. I subscribed and look forward to all of your videos. Thank you for your excellent work. Also, kudos to your staff and choice of music, also German/Austrian (Beethoven).
Great video, I enjoyed it
Yay another video :D
Beautiful pianomusic at the end of this documentary. From who is it?
Very interesting video. I don't know much about Bavaria or it's royals. I'm Irish never heard of Lola Montez. It only takes one Irish woman to nearly take down a kingdom. 😂
Ireland made Bavarians Christians. Christianity died out about 500 or so. Died with the end of the Roman Empire. Irish monks came over and gave us Christianity back. There was the German motion to turn St. Patrick's day into an International holiday because of this! Did not worked out unfortunately.
@@gearoidp No, Germany does not celebrate St. Patrick`s or Halloween.
But other similar events.
I'am missing the Neuschwanstein Castle story here.
i cant wait for the crazy shinanigans of ludwig ii otto i regent luitpold and ludwig iii. after maximilian ii shit really hit the fan and the kingship was really crazy
Fantastic video! I love your style of filmmaking. What an interesting figure. Will you be covering Ludwig II?
Münch S. Library designed by Gärtner. You can’t miss that !
I was at Schwangau just this July
I’ve played that very same Lieder that’s playing at the beginning.
A smart man focusing on farming. Few people do that.
Ludwig II. come on, we need it:)
As someone who had to write a scientific paper on this chad this video is a blessing
FIRST TO LIKE AND COMMENT!
niiice :)
Quite fascinating to see your enthusiasm about Bavaria. I would not take your accent for German.
whats the music at 13:29?
Do you ever plan on making videos about pre-Wittelsbach Bavarian Rulers, such as Henry the Lion, I've heard he's an absolute chad!
Nice DOC
Do videos on chola dynasty and Rajendra Chola and his southeast Asia campaign

One advertisement every couple of minutes is just not enough. One every thirty seconds, please!
It is me Ludwig I(picture in 1860)
Is maximilian wearing an earring?
This was ok in deuchtland at the time?
Rather elegant portrait
Does anyone know what is the difference between being "Duke of" and being "Duke in"?
Duke of is moreso Titular, kinda how the Prince of Wales doesn't actually govern the territory of Wales
Meanwhile in means directly governing it
In this case the main part of suevia stod under the reign of the king of wurtemberg. A smaller part today the govermental district of suevia is part of bavaria. So the bavarian king wasnt duke of the whole suevia only in a part of it. You can compare this to the prussian kings. The first two of them named themselves king in prussia becouse a huge part of prussia was reignd by the polish king. Friedrich II conquered these lands so he got king of prussia.
Just shows the amount of cash European monarchs had swirling around them.
This video was great!
His defense of his mistress, and her origins, bears a striking similarity to WR Hearst, as portrayed semi-fictionally in "Citizen Kane".
Greeks “We used to speak Albanian and call ourselves Romans, but when Winckelmann, Goethe and Victor Hugo, told us, ‘No, you are Hellenes, direct descendants of Plato and Socrates,’ and that they did. If a small poor nation has such a burden put on its shoulders, it will never recover.
HIS MOTHER WAS 13?? Let that sink in wow
Today the blue prints are simple!!
A strong sense of Judy????
like
Sounds like he inspired Ludwig II
Funny that the whole world knows Munich today, but it's because of his wedding celebration.
Please lern spelling Montgelas. Otherwise it really nice.
Learn
Absolutely fascinating, having spent much time in muchen ,its rather pleasing to now understand how it became such a beautiful place,thank you
🙀
12:53 is said like epiteME (like the word “me”) instead of epiTOME. It’s a mystery to me, English is ridiculous
Damn his downfall was him simping for an Irish Girl :(
In other words progressive liberals have been screwing things up for a very long time. Jk, lol
Great video
Glyptothek. There is a T in front of the O in in spelling „GlypTothek „ you lost that
