Ludwig van Beethoven at Teplice (Teplitz) |
Beethoven came to Teplice several times, for the spa. The house below is the one he rented in 1811, the year when I came with Franz and Bettina Brentano and Achim von Arnim (who had married Bettina during spring 1811). It is this year that Beethoven met Amalie Sebald. Beethoven lived in another house in 1812, the year he met Goethe. In Teplice's park, one can see a bust of Beethoven, wich is signed V. K... Some years ago, a friend took a picture of a bust made out of bronze (picture below). In 2003, I took picture of a stone bust (picture right). Are there two busts or has the bronze bust been replaced or stolen? |
