Luitpoldhügel

The Luitpoldhügel stands at 37 meters high within the Luitpoldpark, providing views across the surrounding districts of Munich from its elevated position.

Following World War II, this hill was constructed from the rubble of buildings destroyed during the aerial bombardments that severely damaged Munich.

A memorial cross placed at the summit in 1952 serves as a remembrance site for those who lost their lives during the wartime destruction of Munich.

The hill becomes a winter sports destination when snow falls, with families and children using its slopes for sledding and recreational activities.

The mound contains fragments and remains of historical Munich buildings, making it both a physical record and monument of the city's reconstruction period.
