Tips from the Community
The administrative building comprises three floors, which initially housed meeting rooms, card index rooms, and filing facilities for both the insurance company and the arbitration court located there. Apartments for the board of directors and the caretaker were also built on the second floor. The entrance portal on Maximilianstrasse features the Palatia as a niche figure and bore the Bavarian coat of arms until World War II. The facade is adorned with ornamentation, with the central section of the building and the third floor set back. This design is typical of Viennese aristocratic palaces of the Neo-Baroque period. The allegorical figures on pedestals on the third floor represent youth and diligence, industry, agriculture and farming, and old age. These were crafted from French Savonnières stone by the sculptor Gustav Adolf Bernd. The mansard roof is topped with a gable and balcony facing the cathedral.

A monument where the Salian era merges with the Wars of Liberation against Napoleon. While old Barbarossa slept peacefully in the Küffhäuser Monument, in Speyer in November 1815, the commanding cry of "Ferryman, take us across!" roused the ferryman from his sleep shortly after the cathedral bells struck midnight. Eight shadowy figures imperiously demanded passage and promised rich rewards upon their return. Indeed, a few nights later, they crossed back to the north bank of the Rhine and each pressed a coin into the ferryman's hand. By daylight, the ferryman recognized from the images and inscriptions on the gold coins whom he had transported: the four emperors and four kings from the cathedral crypt had hastened to Leipzig to aid their realm in the Battle of Leipzig. The outcome is well known… The monument is particularly well-suited for a spooky nighttime walk in November.

Great beer garden right on the Rhine promenade. The food is also very good. Usually quite busy. Reservations recommended.
