The 60th anniversary State Archive Landshut in cooperation with the Bavarian administration of the state castles, gardens and lakes and the volunteer fire brigade Landshut in the exhibition “DIE BURG BRENNT! The Landshuter catastrophe of 21.10.1961” deals with the causes and consequences of the fire. Exhibition and accompanying catalogue describe the fire and its legal workup. In the flames there were essential cultural goods, fire-causing damages and gaps in unique archives of the State Archives and destroyed equipment and architecture of the "Fürstenbau" Castle of Trausnitz. The efforts of the state archives and the lock administration to remedy the damage continue to this day. Especially the former artistic design of the castle, which has almost disappeared from the memory of the Landshut population, is recalled by old photographs and a few relics borrowed from the brandy. These include the colourful, fearful room halls from Spätrenaissance and Barock and the magnificent "Absteigquartier" King Ludwigs II from the 1870s. The Exhibition "DIE BURG BRENNT!
