Descriptive Note Text

This black-and-white photo postcard shows a view of the impressive facade of the Pavilion of Germany from the river Po.

The advertisment for the Münchener Bürgerbräu is visible on the river's embankment.  Münchener Bürgerbräu was a large Munich brewery which also had numerous beer halls, including the Bürgerbräukeller, where the 1923 attempted Hitler coup started on Nov. 9, 1923. The Pavilion of Germany hosted a restaurant and beer hall.
