Historic square |
Karolinenplatz Maxvorstadt Munich, Bayern 80333 |
This unique star-shaped square, designed by Karl von Fischer, was created during the building of the Maxvorstadt, the part of the old town, which was built during the reign of Maximilian I. The buildings at the rear, designed to fit in with the square's shape, are particularly impressive. An obelisk by Leo von Klenze dating back to 1833 stands in the centre, commemorating the 30,000 Bavarian soldiers who lost their lives in Napoleon's 1812 Russian campaign. House number 5 used to belong to the Bruckmann family, the printer who gave Hitler decisive support and introduced him to the industrialists and bankers without whose financial aid the Nazis would never have gained power.
