The Lenbachplatz is a public square on the northwestern edge of the Munich city center in the Kreuzviertel of the old town on the border with Maxvorstadt. In his design – the staggering of several buildings grouped in a closer relationship with each other – it is typical of the late 19th century. The site of Lenbachplatz was originally part of the apron of the second city fortification. The Capuchin monastery consecrated in the later square was founded in 1600 and dissolved in 1802. The monastery building and church were canceled.

As part of the Munich old town ring, Lenbachplatz in the northeast closes to the Stachus and forms the transition to the small park of the Maximilian Square. The place is named after the Munich painter Franz von Lenbach.

Panorama des Platzes (Westseite)

The ceremony of Munich is where Hildebrand’s fountain is. The station splash does not say anything; The Rondel of the Karlstor opens the main and the city’s main and has become the mere passage point. If you swing on the left, the Lenbachplatz, the Maximilians facilities become visible and before that the bright marble figures with the rushing water basins, then you know that you are in Munich, the cheerful and festive suburb of southern Germany. The place has something extremely lively and natural. Everything interlocks. It is as if the fountain from the fountain has always been here. And if one or the other is a memory of Roman facilities, it would not be a strange tone: How many places in the city must come to mind that Munich is at the beginning of the Alpine road to Italy!
