Hofgarten, Renaissance park in Münchner Altstadt, Germany

The Hofgarten extends between the Residenz palace and the Englischer Garten, featuring symmetrical pathways that lead to a central Diana pavilion.

Maximilian I of Bavaria commissioned the garden's construction between 1613 and 1617, incorporating Italian Renaissance design principles into its layout.

The garden contains a memorial to the White Rose resistance group and displays historical wall paintings depicting Bavarian themes along its arcades.

Visitors can access the Hofgarten through multiple entrances, with the nearest subway station at Odeonsplatz on the western side.

Eight stone paths radiate from the central Diana Temple, where dancers regularly perform beneath the dome's geometric patterns.
