Harras, Public square in Sendling, Munich, Germany

Harras, officially Am Harras, is a public square in Munich's Sendling district where Albert-Roßhaupter-Straße meets Plinganserstraße. The square is split into two parts: a larger open area on the north side in front of period buildings, and a smaller forecourt on the south side before the post office building, with a circular fountain set in a wooden rim and thin water jets in the middle.

In 1856, a palace at this spot was torn down, and Robert Harras bought part of the land to open a café. The café was demolished in 1903, but the name lived on, and the square was officially named in 1930. The post office building was added in 1932, and the square was redesigned between 2010 and 2013.

The name Harras comes from Robert Harras, an innkeeper who opened a café with a garden here in the 19th century. Today, the square is a meeting point for locals, and the fountain area is a popular spot to sit and watch the bustle of the neighborhood.

The square is easy to reach on foot from the surrounding streets, and the underground and S-Bahn stations are close by. When you arrive, look for the fountain as a central meeting point; from there, the shops and the post office are just a short walk away.

The post office building on the south side was designed in the 1930s in the Modernist style and later won a facade award for its careful renovation. The square's redesign in the 2010s turned a traffic-heavy junction into a more walkable space with benches and bike racks.
