The church of Maria de Victoria, also known as the Asam Kirche, is a stunning baroque church. Expecting a church more like the Asam Kirche in Munich which focuses more on these artisans' Baroque plasterwork, I was surprised to find a study in perspective in this medium size church. Confronted with a set of design challenges in what is basically a rectangular church, the brothers worked out a set of multiple perspective points that makes a celestial vision absolutely pop out at the viewer. This is coupled with clever plasterwork along the edges of the ceiling which integrate it with the walls to smoothly transition their work into the plain walls. The altar is a nice baroque composition, but the "professors" seating along the walls of this Jesuit church are extremely well crafted. In the the small treasury in the back of the church there is a magnificent monstrance made in Augsburg that commemorates the Battle of Leponto. While such a warlike scene that is somewhat jarring when seen on such a religious article, I guess it's understandable after such a significant turning point in the then-ongoing war against Islamic expansion. In a somewhat similar vein, the warrior-leader Tilly's crucifix in silver and ivory is also kept in the treasury. Admission is €3. I was allowed to use the English language guidebook to guide my visit. There really is no parking close to the church, but it is a short walk from the large public parking lots. The docents at the church were friendly.

The Bayerisches Armeemuseum comprises three museums. The Bayerisches Polizeimuseum in Turm Trivia (1841), the Bayerisches Armeemuseum in Neues Schloss (1490) and the Museum des Ersten Weltkriegs in Reduit Tilly (1841). The review is about the latter. The Museum des Ersten Weltkriegs provides a critical and historically accurate reflection on German military confrontations in WW1 and the role of the army and the impact of the Great War on people, society and government. The Bavarian Army museum is one of the largest museums of military history in Europe. Is an impressive museum of history with a focus on Bavaria in its European context and cover the period from the late Middle Ages to the present day. The Museum des Ersten Weltkriegs provides excellent information and it will take you awhile to get through. You can here easily spend over 3 to 4 hours. Highly recommended.

Toured the Audi Factory for over 2 hours, got to see the auto body press shop and final assembly areas. Very interesting to see the 'marriage' of engine and car along with all of the various configurations, body styles and how they can move different cars down the line destined for Germany, UK, USA, etc. Very interesting to see live in person. Highly recommend along with a tour of the Audi museum to see the vast history of the 4-rings along with the early beginnings to the great Audi race victories at Le Mans, Pikes Peak, etc.
