Emanuel von Seidl shaped the appearance of Murnau. He not only built a country house with a spacious park for himself, but also country houses in Murnau for numerous clients. In collaboration with the Beautification Association, he is also responsible for the redesign of Murnau's facade at the beginning of the 20th century. Seidl also created plans for public buildings, such as the former girls' school near St. Nicholas Church and the castle, which was inaugurated in 1912. Seidl was not only an architect, he also designed overall concepts for the interior design of his clients' private homes. The fact that he extended this attention to detail not only to his buildings, but also to outdoor areas is also evident in his own park, which he structured with various squares and stations, such as the so-called Friendship Hill, the orchestra club bench and the deer sculptures. At the entrance to his vegetable and flower garden, there were two parrots, a cockatoo and a macaw, designed by the Partenkirchen-born sculptor Josef Wackerle, made in the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory in Munich. After the parrots had been temporarily housed in the Murnau Cultural and Conference Center, it was decided in 1990 to take them to the museum depot for safety reasons. The antlers attached to the stone deer in Seidl Park had already fallen victim to vandalism and were badly damaged. After they had been rescued from further damage on the grounds of the municipal building yard, they were also added to the museum's collection in 2007. On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Seidl's death, they were 3D printed as part of the 2019 Kulturknall benefit festival and reattached to the deer for the duration of the festival.
