Baroque splendour and the pride of Middle Franconia: Ansbach

巴洛克風格的光輝與立弗蘭肯的自豪： 安斯巴赫

Ansbach was once the seat of the Margraves of Brandenburg-Ansbach and is idyllically located on the Castle RoadIt boasts a wealth of historical sights that you perhaps wouldn't expect from a town of its size. Its close proximity to the Franconian Heights nature park is yet another good reason to pay Ansbach a visit.

安斯巴赫 (Ansbach)，勃蘭登堡-安斯巴赫邊境伯爵官網 (Markgraf von Brandenburg-Ansbach) 以前的王宮所在城市，撒落在有悠久的歷史的 古城堡之途 (Burgenstrae) 上的一顆漂亮耀眼明珠。諸多歷史文化遺產匯集于這座小鎮，讓人難以想象而又歡呼雀躍。 與之緊鄰的法蘭克霍爾元件自然公園 (Naturpark Frankenhhe) 為慕名而來前去安斯巴赫的游客*少又*了一個原因。

Ansbach's long history is reflected by the many old buildings, such as the court chancellery, the churches of St. John and St. Gumbert, the Residenz Palace and the glorious orangery in the court gardens. The town is far from merely a dry and dusty relic, however, as the 'sculpture mile' ably demonstrates. Every year from mid-July to mid-October, this display of modern art in public spaces provides a striking contrast to the historical buildings and market squares and always provokes lively discussion.

宮廷政策研究室 (Hofkanzlei)、圣彼得主教堂 (Kirche St. Johannis)、圣古姆小熊圖斯主教堂 (Kirche St. Gumbertus)、王宮 (Residenz)、宮廷花園 (Hofgarten) 中華民族美麗的橘園等文化藝術名勝古跡印證著這座城市悠久的歷史。 安斯巴赫不僅有著杰出的以往，這兒的街邊雕塑作品聚集區是當今的*好闡釋： 每一年七月中下旬到十月中下旬，公共場合的當代藝術都是會為歷史建筑和城市廣場產生令人激動的沖擊性，進而引起許多人熱情且熱情的探討。

Rococo opulence, brought to life in Ansbach

洛可可的光輝： 栩栩如生重現于安斯巴赫

Less cutting-edge but no less enjoyable is the annual Ansbach Rococo Festival, which recreates the courtly splendour of the town in the 17th and 18th centuries. The margravial orangery in the court gardens provides the setting for this festival of music and dance that turns the clock back to a very different era. Built from 1726 to 1728 and modelled on French designs, the orangery is a first-class tourist sight even when the festival isn't on. So too is the Residenz Palace – the last word in baroque splendour with 27 state rooms capturing the elegance of the time. Among them are the soaring banqueting hall, the mirrored hall and the tiled hall, the latter decorated with around 2,800 tiles from the famous Ansbach faience manufactory. The synagogue also dates from the mid-18th century, and though rather unassuming from the outside, is one of the most important baroque synagogues remaining in southern Germany. As there is no longer a Jewish community here, the building serves today as a memorial and museum and can be visited as part of a guided tour of the town.

與之反過來，一年一度重現這座城市 17 和 18 新世紀宮廷光輝的安斯巴赫洛可可節 (Ansbacher Rokoko-Festspiele) 則多了一些享有，少了一些探討的寓意。 在宮廷花園中邊境伯爵官網的橘園里伴著歌曲翩翩飛舞——安斯巴赫和它的顧客們好像置身此外一個時光。 這座遵照現代中式風格的橘園始建 1726 - 1728 年里，即便 在非節日期內也是一處首屈一指的風景名勝。 這座王宮還被稱作巴洛克風格光輝之作—— 27 個雍容華貴的屋子突顯著那時候的眩目光輝，雙層餐廳包房、鏡閣 (Spiegelkabinett) 及其瓷器服務廳 (Kachelsaal) 肯定別錯過。瓷器服務廳鋪有大概 2800 塊產于*的安斯巴赫費昂斯手工坊 (Fayencemanufaktur) 的精致地磚。 除此之外，安斯巴赫也有始建 18 新世紀中后期的猶太教堂 (Synagoge)，盡管其貌不揚，則是法國南邊現有*重要的巴洛克式猶太教堂之一。 現如今，正可謂是小區已蕩然無存，這座工程建筑變成城市度假旅游指南上強烈推薦參觀考察的史料館和歷史博物館。
