Somebody extraordinary Hi there! I still need some corrections... :) When I came to Germany for the first time, I visited beautiful palace Nymphenburg, one of the domains of well-known Bavarian dynasty Wittelsbach. The palace had been founded in 1664 and for the next centuries was used as a summer royal residence in Munich. Now it’s museum attracting a lot of attention as the largest royal castle in Europe. Thousands of tourists from all over the world come to see it every year, but I discovered that one part of the museum is private. Franz Bonaventura Adalbert lives there. He is 84 years old and he is Duke of Bavaria, present Head of the House of Wittelsbach, leading its history from XII century. His grandfather was the last real sovereign of Bavaria. The dynasty where he came from had been controlling a half of Europe and have never been cut. Names of all those kings and queens, princes and duchesses still live in the streets, buildings and parks… But Herr Adalbert himself got through Nazi regime, a concentration camp, where he was put at the age of 11, and, eventually, through global changes in the whole world. His titles don’t have legal significance any more, but I guess he still is an unique and respectable person. I believe, if I had an opportunity to speak with him, I would make an interview of whole my life. As a journalist I have a billion of questions about his life and experience. I wonder how is it to be born with such a background? What does the world look like from his point of view? What can Franz Adalbert say as a spectator of different epochs? Well, if I could invite somebody extraordinary to dinner, I would chose him.

Hello! I loved reading your story and learning a little about Germany. 
In your first paragraph, there were some comma errors, and in some places you needed to add the article, "a". 
In the second paragraph, "The dynasty where he came from had been controlling a half of Europe and have never been cut." You do not need the article, "a" before half. Also, since the subject is "the dynasty", after the 'and' your verb would be "had".

Hi there! I still need some corrections... :)

When I came to Germany for the first time, I visited a beautiful palace, Nymphenburg, one of the domains of a well-known Bavarian dynasty, Wittelsbach. The palace had been founded in 1664 and for the next centuries was used as a summer royal residence in Munich. Now, it’s a museum attracting a lot of attention as the largest royal castle in Europe. Thousands of tourists from all over the world come to see it every year, but I discovered that one part of the museum is private.

Franz Bonaventura Adalbert lives there. He is 84 years old and he is Duke of Bavaria, present Head of the House of Wittelsbach, leading its history from XII century. His grandfather was the last real sovereign of Bavaria. The dynasty where he came from had been controlling   half of Europe and had never been cut. Names of all those kings, queens, princes ,and duchesses still live in the streets, buildings and parks… But, Herr Adalbert himself got through Nazi regime, a concentration camp where he was put at the age of 11 ,and eventually, through global changes in the whole world.

His titles don’t have legal significance any more, but I guess he still is an unique and respectable person.
