Odeonsplatz
This majestic square is at one end
of the splendid Ludwigstraße, built in 1816 by Leo von
Klenze on the orders of King Ludwig I as the "Street
of the Sciences". The square, in which Hitler's Putsch
failed in 1923, is surrounded by important buildings in varous
styles; the Feldherrnhalle (Commander in chiefs hall), the
Theatinerkirche (Theatiner church), the Residenz (Munich Residence),
the Odeon and the Leuchtenber-Palais. The equestrian statue
for Ludwig I, was erected in 1848, after his abdication because
of the Lola-Montez-Affair.
