Odeonsplatz

Odeonsplatz is a major square in Munich surrounded by grand neoclassical architecture, including the Theatine Church, the Feldherrnhalle loggia, and the former Odeon concert hall. These structures are arranged in geometric patterns that create a cohesive architectural composition.

King Ludwig I commissioned architect Leo von Klenze in 1827 to design this square as part of a major urban transformation of Munich. The project shaped the city's appearance and set new standards for urban development.

The Feldherrnhalle displays bronze statues of celebrated Bavarian military commanders that still remind visitors of the region's past. The area around the square serves as a gathering place where history and present-day life blend in the surrounding architecture.

The square is served by four U-Bahn lines and serves as a major transportation hub connecting to different parts of the city. Visitors can easily reach other areas of Munich from this central location.

Café Tambosi at the northeastern corner of the square has been Munich's oldest continuously operating coffee house since its establishment. Visitors can enjoy coffee at this historical location while experiencing the atmosphere of a traditional Munich café.
