The Munich Residence Week, which had been very popular and successful from the outset, had been held in the fall since 2003. The focus of the event in 2024, which took place from October 11 to 20, was on Elector Karl Theodor and his work in the Electorate of Palatinate-Bavaria.
Every year, a unique musical and cultural experience is offered in the magnificent surroundings of the Munich Residence, Nymphenburg Palace and Schleißheim Palace.
We had the great patron of science, art, and music, Elector Karl Theodor, to thank for two anniversaries in 2024: his 300th birthday and the 225th anniversary of his death. This was reason enough to place his work at the center of the 2024 Residenzwoche.
The motto of this year's Residenzwoche (Munich Residence Week) was "New Horizons." From October 11 to 20, 2024, visitors had the opportunity to get to know Elector Karl Theodor, who came from the Palatinate, as an important source of inspiration.
Karl Theodor left behind a rich cultural legacy, which could be experienced as part of the extensive programme of events at the Munich Residence, Nymphenburg Palace, and Schleißheim Palace.
With guided tours through the magnificent rooms accompanied by music, interactive hands-on stations, and culinary tours with wine tastings, the Residence Week offered a multifaceted selection of experiences that gave guests an insight into the era and the life of Karl Theodor.
The programme was rounded off with top-class concerts of early music in a historic setting, bringing the magnificent festival halls to life and making the past tangible.
