RADIO SABOTEURS IN TILE ENGLISH GARDEN
[Article by Dr Edmund Schulz; Leipzig, 7einpziger Volkszeit:ung, German, 11
May 1972, p 9]
The English Garden in Munich has given quit: a few poets an opportunity
to write about it. In Arnold Zweig's novel Verklun~.ene Tage, we can read
the following passage:
"In the middle of June 1908, a young man, in his early twenties, the
student and philologist Carl_ Steinitz sat with his eyes closed on a marble
bench in the English Garden which was the showpiece of the City of Munich and
thought that he was a thousand years old. All of this beautiful furniture
came from the time of Ludwig I, King, of Bavaria, during whose reign this
Garden had been built on swampland, like a miracle, arching toward the lazily
flowing water."
The "Private Transmitters" of the CIA
If we sit on that bench in the English Garden today, and if we close our
eyes, as Carl Steinitz_did, then this famous garden, which is today located in
the middle of a city with a million inhabitants, would not seem to have lost
its air of romanticism even in June of. 1972. But the contemporary, who
walks through this section of Munich with his eyes open, cannot fail to note
the changes that have taken place here likewise. Among these changes in the
English Garden is a new building with a sign reading "Radio Free Europe."
