Goetzdude Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 K-292 FUNERAL OF THE BAVARIAN ROYAL COUPLE (Beisetzung des Bayerischen Königs-paares), 1921, Cast Bronze 101mm, Edge-punch “KGoeTz”, RR, UNC/Gussfrisch Obverse: The coffins of the King and Queen of Bavaria were put to their final rest in the Zu unserer lieben Frau cathedral in Munich on November 5, 1921. Reverse: Mourning lion under crucifixion with the dates and location of their deaths; “Maria Therese, Queen, Died in Wildenwart, February 3, 1919.” “Ludwig III, King of Bavaria, died in Sarvar/Hungaria on October 18, 1921.” This medal was also struck in 40mm silver and bronze medals. An excellent example of Goetz’ casting abilities. I will show a larger image of the obverse tomorrow and you’ll be amazed at the detail. This is a lovely example of this piece.

Late on the evening of November 7, 1918, Queen Mary and King Ludwig fled from the Bolsheviks in Munich, arriving at Schloss Wildenwart in the early hours of the next day; they left here the same day and moved on to Hintersee near Berchtesgaden. They returned to Schloss Wildenwart on November 18, 1918. Queen Mary remained here for the next two and a half months until her death in February 1919. Her remains were placed in the castle chapel until they were moved to the Liebfrauendom in Munich in 1921. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
