Promenadeplatz, Public square in historic center, Munich, Germany.

Promenadeplatz is a long rectangular square running east-west between Maffeistraße and Pacellistraße in Munich's Kreuzviertel, northwest of the old town. Five monuments stand on it: statues of Lorenz von Westenrieder, Christoph Willibald Gluck, Elector Max Emanuel, Orlando di Lasso and Maximilian von Montgelas, the last cast in aluminium by Karin Sander in 2005. Around it are the Gunetzrhainerhaus, the Parcus-Haus and the Hotel Bayerischer Hof.

From the 15th century, the city's salt warehouses stood on this site; they were demolished in 1778. The resulting open space was used as a parade ground and called Paradeplatz, and in 1804 it was laid out as a green area. It has borne the name Promenadeplatz since the early 19th century; during the Nazi period it was called Ritter von Epp-Platz.

The square's name comes from its use as a promenade after 1804, when it was laid out as a green space. Since 2009, fans of Michael Jackson have turned the Orlando di Lasso monument into a tribute with posters, flowers and candles, because the singer often stayed at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof opposite.

The square runs east-west between Maffeistraße and Pacellistraße in the Kreuzviertel, northwest of the old town. It is a long rectangle, so cross it on foot to see all five monuments; the Montgelas monument stands where the Kreittmayr monument once was. Tram and S-Bahn stops lie along the nearby streets.

Since Michael Jackson's death in 2009, fans have decorated the Orlando di Lasso statue with posters, flowers and grave candles. They commemorate him there because he stayed several times at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof during visits to Munich.
