Königlicher Hirschgarten

This guide to Königlicher Hirschgarten in Munich starts in 1780, when Elector Karl Theodor fenced off royal hunting ground south of Nymphenburg Palace and stocked it with deer, off-limits to anyone but nobility. It follows how the gates opened to the public within a decade, a tavern called the Jägerhaus began serving food and drink, and, oddest of all, the deer stayed on, mingling with beer drinkers for generations. Listen for what changed only after the Second World War.
