Promenadeplatz, Public square in historic center, Munich, Germany.
Promenadeplatz is a public square in central Munich surrounded by historical buildings and anchored by five monuments at its center. The statues commemorate significant figures including Orlando di Lasso, Lorenz Westenrieder, and Count von Montgelas.
The square originated in the 14th century as a salt storage area serving the city's trade needs. In 1804, after the storage buildings were demolished, it was transformed into a green public plaza.
The square hosts the renowned Hotel Bayerischer Hof, a gathering place where visitors and locals meet throughout the day. The Kleine Komödie theater within the hotel offers regular performances of comedy and drama for audiences.
The square sits between Pacelli and Maffeistraße with benches positioned along green areas for resting. Public transportation connections are readily available, making it a convenient hub for moving around the city.
The Orlando di Lasso statue has become an informal memorial where visitors leave flowers and mementos. This unexpected tribute emerged because the pop star frequently stayed at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof nearby.
