Great grandpa really had more hats than I thought! After his tophat I now also found his Bowler hat (by Josef Mauerer, Vienna)! A photography which has been on the wall of the hallway in our country house, where he lived, as long as I can think, shows him on his wedding day – with exactly this hat in his hand. Around 100 years later, it is still in such good shape that it means he cannot have worn it often.

Not to miss when in Munich by the way: Franz von Stuck’s Villa! He was frequently involved in the making of the Munich based magazine “Jugend”, which gave the name to “Jugendstil”.
