Today, only the ceiling painting by the Munich court painter Melchior Steidel, which attempts to compensate for the lack of room height through architectural painting, belongs to the original furnishings of the hall. Thematically, two rhythms are allegorically superimposed on the interplay of light. The victory of Phoebus Apollo on his sun chariot, to which Luna can only oppose fright, corresponds to the change of day and night, theatrically illustrated by the night sky, which is pulled away like a stage curtain. The Horae pulling the sun chariot and Diana's hunting companions resting in the twilight zone complete this repertoire of the depiction of the victorious sun god.Today, the Kaisersaal can be rented for events: seminars, anniversaries, weddings and ceremonies take place in the magnificent hall.
