Meeting Point

In front of Hilton München City

Former Bürgerbräukeller

The Bürgerbräukeller was a large beer hall in Munich, best known as the site where Hitler launched the Beer Hall Putsch on November 9, 1923. After its failure, the Nazis later used the hall for propaganda events. In 1939, Georg Elser attempted to assassinate Hitler there with a bomb, but Hitler left early. The building was demolished in 1979, and the site is now home to the Hilton Hotel Munich City.

Müllersche Volksbad

The Müllersche Volksbad is a historic indoor swimming pool on the banks of the Isar, opened in 1901. Built in Art Nouveau style, it was Munich’s first public indoor bath and remains one of the most beautiful in Germany. It features ornate mosaics, stained glass, and Roman-Irish steam baths. Originally intended to provide affordable hygiene facilities, it’s now a beloved spot for relaxation and wellness.

Father Rhein Fountain

The Father Rhein Fountain (Vater-Rhein-Brunnen) is a monumental fountain near the Deutsches Museum in Munich. Created by Adolf von Hildebrand in 1897, it originally stood on Museum Island but was later moved to its current location. The fountain depicts Father Rhine, the personification of the Rhine River, reclining with allegorical figures representing its tributaries. It’s a striking example of late 19th-century sculpture in the city.

Isartor

The Isartor is one of Munich’s original city gates, built in 1337 under Emperor Ludwig IV (Ludwig the Bavarian) as part of the medieval fortifications. It is the best-preserved of Munich’s three remaining city gates. The central tower features a fresco depicting Ludwig’s victory over the Habsburgs in the Battle of Ampfing (1322). Today, the Isartor houses the Valentin Karlstadt Museum, dedicated to the Bavarian comedian Karl Valentin.

Former Sterneckerbräu

The Sterneckerbräu was a Munich beer hall where Adolf Hitler and his early followers gathered in the early 1920s. It became the first headquarters of the NSDAP in 1920. Located near the Isartor, the site later served as a Nazi museum before being heavily damaged in World War II. The building was eventually demolished, and today, no visible traces remain of its dark past.

Marienplatz

Marienplatz is the heart of Munich and its main square since 1158. Named after the Mariensäule (Mary's Column), it is surrounded by historic landmarks like the Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall) with its famous Glockenspiel and the Altes Rathaus (Old Town Hall). A hub for celebrations, markets, and events, it remains a central meeting point and a symbol of the city’s rich history.

Max-Joseph-Platz

Max-Joseph-Platz is a grand square in Munich, named after King Maximilian I Joseph. It is home to the Bavarian State Opera, the Residenz, and the Königliche Hofapotheke. At its center stands a statue of the king, unveiled in 1835. The square reflects a mix of Neoclassical and historicist architecture, making it a key cultural and architectural landmark in the city.

Odeonsplatz

Odeonsplatz is one of Munich’s most historic squares, known for its Italian-style architecture and political significance. It is framed by the Feldherrnhalle, inspired by Florence’s Loggia dei Lanzi, the Theatinerkirche, and the entrance to the Residenz. On November 9, 1923, the square was the site of the Beer Hall Putsch’s violent end. Today, it serves as a popular gathering spot and hosts events like classical concerts and parades.

Platz der Opfer des Nationalsozialismus

The Platz der Opfer des Nationalsozialismus (Square of the Victims of National Socialism) is a memorial site in central Munich, commemorating those persecuted and murdered by the Nazi regime. Located near the historic Königsplatz, it was established in 1946 and later redesigned, featuring an eternal flame as a symbol of remembrance. The square serves as a solemn reminder of Munich’s role in the Nazi era and is a key site for annual memorial events.

Karolinenplatz

Karolinenplatz is a striking neoclassical square in Munich, known for its prominent black obelisk at the center. Built in 1833, the obelisk commemorates the Bavarian soldiers who perished in Napoleon’s Russian campaign of 1812. The square, designed in a star-shaped layout, is surrounded by elegant historic buildings and lies between Königsplatz and Odeonsplatz, making it an interesting stop for those exploring Munich’s 19th-century urban design and Napoleonic history.
