Eibseestraße

Eibseestraße 9.

An unknown artist painted the coat of arms on the front of the building, but Karen Erhardt painted the putti painting on the side.1

I ran into a woman walking inside Eibseestraße 11 while I was taking pictures of the lüftlmalerei outside.

I asked her if she knew anything about the painting, and she said she did.  

She told me her husband was a pharmacist, so the saints above were related to medicine: Saint Florian, Saint Mary with an infant Jesus, and Saint Sebastian.

When I asked if the woman and the man sitting on the ground beneath the saints was her and her husband, she smiled, and said it was.  It was them 30 years ago. 

She added that the lüftlmalerei made her mother-in-law happy.

It was painted by Sebastian Pfeffer in 1987.  She said, if I liked this painting, I should take a walk past the clothing store on Am Kurpark.  She said the building was covered in this artist’s work.

Painted by Franz Winterholler in 1979,2 the lüftlmalerei on the wall of Eibseestraße 12 says, “a’ Sang’l a’Musi a’boarische Ruah so gfreit si da herrgott und juchazt dazua” — a line from a Bavarian folksong, “De boarische Ruah.”
