Walhalla rises above the Danube near Regensburg, in a high position dominating the surrounding landscape. This classicist building in the form of a temple surrounded by columns was commissioned by the Bavarian King Ludwig I (r. 1825-1848) to create one of the most important German national monuments of the 19th century.

The Hall of Fame, visible from afar, was officially opened on October 18, 1842, after 12 years of construction. …
