Who wouldn't like to have a look behind the
magnificent facade of the state rooms?
At the Ludwigsburg residential palace such insights are possible. The
palace administration offers special tours that leave the beaten path.
First the visitors explore various staircases in
the palace, from the Königstreppe (King's staircase) to the
Dienerschaftsstiege (servant's stairways). Then they continue into the
"Hinterzimmer" (back rooms) from the ground floor up to the
attic. In the process, servants rooms, heating halls and Mundküchen
(kitchens for preparing smaller meals) not usually accessible are seen
and a room in which a large bathroom was once to be installed is shown.
Outside the regular palace tour a great deal is explained about the
different inhabitants of the palace, e.g. their lifestyle and above all
their functions within courtly life.
The object during the tours is to discover hidden
treasures in all the "hidden splendor in unknown rooms". Who
wouldn't want to risk a look through the keyhole when the frivolous,
risqué world of the 18th century is concerned? In Ludwigsburg Palace
there are traces of "Amor und Amouren" (Cupid and love
affairs); sensual pictorial worlds of the late Baroque and Rococo.
When was the last time you had the chance to get
to know a "king privately"? At Ludwigsburg Palace there is an
opportunity to ask questions during the special tours, e.g. how did he
spend his time? How did he treat the queen? Of course, your questions
will also be answered!
