About 3 years ago I was at a small meeting in Feldafing: a very picturesque village in Bavaria, across the lake from Switzerland.
That's where Leni lived, and she even had her 100 yo birth party in our hotel.
Having had one beer too many (in honesty, much more....) we all wanted to visit her in her home and ask for authographs. In the last moment, last functioning neurons prevailed and we stayed in the hotel, drinking more.
About 3-4 miles from there there is a museum built by Lothar Buchheim (the author of "Das Boot"), abstract art and tons of African swords.
