Comment
Seehaus has in modern times become Seehaus im Englisch. Translated is lake house in English. The term “English garden” refers to a certain type of landscape garden that originated in England. Contrast this to geometrical French baroque gardens filled with colorful flowers. An English garden seeks a more natural design. Secondary buildings are randomly scattered to serve as points of interest and hidden surprises. (Braun, 2015) In the case of Munich’s Englischer Garten, the swampy terrain around the Isar River was developed for military uses and as a municipal park. Many landscaped features were designed by Count Rumford, Reinhold von Werneck and Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell in 1789. (Dorling Kindersley Ltd, 2012). In 1800, the military garden and public park were joined. For this token it is believe that the EM is for Enlisted Mens Club.[img modermini]catalogue/63967387aa290.jpg[/img] Photos are of the modern facilities at the same location.I could not get the date for the token in my resources. I am guessing since the club join with the public pack in 1900. These token must have been made before them.
