Le Petit Jane Austen Ball

L E P E T I T J A N E A U S T E N B A L L

Grand Regency ball
21st June 2025 • Residenz • Eichstätt

After the thunderclaps of revolution had faded into the background
and Napoleon cast his dominating gaze over France and the European structure,
Bavaria emerged as a kingdom from the tumult of history.
In this era of apparent peace, lavish celebrations found their way
into magnificent halls and elegantly adorned salons.
Lively dances and entertaining games served as a means
to pass the precious time that was so sparingly measured between wars and battles.
A true „dance on the volcano,"
considering how fragile the calm was after the storms.

Now, after the victorious years in Ansbach and the years of privations
that imposed the horrors of the Corona restrictions on the world,
and after the subsequent tumults and crises,
could it be true that we are finally moving towards
a new chapter of joyful times? May 2025 be the anticipated year
when reality returns, and the world transforms into a festive dance.

While the Eichstätt Residence, where once Amila Augusta of Bavaria
found refuge after her escape from Italian adversity,
may not offer the same grandeur as the royal festivities of days gone by,
it will provide the suitable setting for a splendid ball
in the style of the early 19th century
an intimate gathering in the respectable tradition of bygone eras.

Join us on this wonderful and enchanting journey through time,
where the world of Jane Austen and Bridgerton comes to life.
The Eichstätt Residence opens its doors
for an evening of elegance and social splendor.

I sincerely hope that the carefully curated event package
will make the stay in Eichstätt an unforgettable experience for each of you.
To add a special touch to the dancing pleasure,
all ball dances can be learned and practiced
in the days leading up to the grand event.
A magnificent hall in the heart of the city is at our disposal,
allowing us to spend an entire week amid baroque Eichstätt.

Let us stroll through the various castle grounds,
promenade through beautiful parks, and immerse ourselves
in our magnificent attire to transport ourselves to times past.
It will be a week full of grace and history,
reminding us of the golden days when the world seemed
to dance to the rhythm of the waltz.
