der Residenz

Okay... So I would like to post more about our Reise nach Berlin, because despite being sick for more than half of our trip (due to standing in 40 degree rainy weather for six hours at the Mauer Fall celebration), I actually did get to explore a fair amount of the city. However, after a grueling day of difficult Deutsch learning, I do not have the energy to recount our adventures. Instead, I am going to introduce you to our tiny, new Residenz!

However, first I must explain why our new Wohnung is called "der Residenz". In Munich's city center, der Residenz is the former royal palace of Bavarian monarchs. It housed dukes and kings through 1918 and is now the largest downtown palace in Germany, which is actually saying a lot. In order to aspire to such magnificance, I deemed our place der Residenz.

Below is a photo tour; yet, feel free to come visit it (or us) in person anytime:

Entry Hall and Study

(All rooms connect to the entry hall.)

Washroom
(Unfortunately for me but not for the environment, Germans do not believe in dryers.)

La Cocina
(Complete with big fridge, freezer, and real oven!)


Schlafzimmer
(Since this picture was taken, we have replaced the creepy picture above the bed with white space.)

Living Area
(Which is also in the same room as our sleeping area.)

This completes the photo tour of der Residenz at this time. We plan to make updates to our new space periodically. But for further information and to see future improvements, you must visit in person. Thank you for your virtual interest in der Residenz.
