Ruhmeshalle, Neoclassical monument in Schwanthalerhöhe, Germany.
The Ruhmeshalle extends 68 meters in length with 48 Doric columns made of Kelheim limestone, featuring two wings and a central colonnade.
King Ludwig I commissioned architect Leo von Klenze to design this Hall of Fame, which opened in 1853 to honor distinguished Bavarian figures.
The monument displays marble busts of notable Bavarians from science, arts, and literature, with newer additions including Clara Ziegler and Lena Christ.
The memorial stands above Theresienwiese, near the Bavaria statue, and remains accessible throughout the day without entrance fees.
The structure contains 92 metopes in its frieze, depicting victory figures between 48 relief representations based on Schwanthaler's models.
