Marienplatz, Central square in Altstadt-Lehel, Munich, Germany.
The square features the neo-Gothic New Town Hall on its north side, while the Old Town Hall stands prominently on the eastern border.
The square originated in 1158 as Munich's central marketplace, initially named Markth, then Schranne, before receiving its current name in 1854.
The Mariensäule column rises in the center, topped with a golden statue of Virgin Mary, commemorating Munich's liberation from Swedish forces in 1638.
The Munich Marienplatz station provides direct access to U-Bahn and S-Bahn networks, connecting visitors to all parts of the city.
The New Town Hall's Glockenspiel performs daily at 11 AM and noon, with mechanical figures reenacting historical events through 43 bells and 32 characters.
