Schloßwaldstraße
At Schloßwaldstraße 1a, is the Burgrain branch of Josef Krätz’s bakery.
But at 1b, you’ll find “Haus Mayer,” and a couple of lüftlmalerei.
Baroque Madonna with baby Jesus.
And, fitting for the attached bakery, a composite outdoor scene of Bavarian bakers baking bread next to a woman in the field using a sickle to harvest wheat.
At the bottom right of the outdoor scene, the artist’s signature and a date, 1954.
While walking past Schloßwaldstraße 34, “Zum Schnitzer Luggi,” I met the owner, Ludwig, standing outside.
He let me know that, not only is he named after King Ludwig, he also shares the former king’s birthday.
At the top right of the edge of the building, there is a false window painted, a lüftlmalerei of a man and a young girl, complete with curtains and false shutters, placed and painted to look like an actual window on the second floor.
When I asked him about his portrait, and whether that was really a painting of him, he told me that it was a picture of him in the winter when he lets his beard grow.
He said he knew the artist who painted it, that he was a friend, “Rapp,” named Anton Buchweiser.
Ludwig told me that his son did the scroll work around not only his windows, but the next door neighbors’ as well, at Schloßwaldstraße 32.
He said his son was not a professional painter, but painted the window surrounds as a hobby.
