Marienplatz 21, building in Old Town, Upper Bavaria, Germany
Marienplatz 21 is a residential and commercial building located on the main square in central Munich with architectural heritage value. The structure forms part of the historic streetscape surrounding the square and contributes to the urban character through its facade design and detail work.
The building occupies a location that has served as Munich's center for over 800 years, originally functioning as a marketplace for grain and goods. The surrounding architecture developed over centuries and continues to define the city's historical character today.
The square takes its name from the statue of Mary atop the tall column at its center, which has been a symbol of protection for the city for centuries. People gather here for celebrations, quiet moments of prayer, and everyday meetings among the historic facades.
The building sits on one of Munich's busiest squares, easily accessible by public transportation and surrounded by shops, cafes, and restaurants. The location serves as a natural gathering point and reference for exploring the city center.
The address sits steps away from the famous carillon in the New City Hall tower, which displays scenes from Munich's history twice daily to watching crowds. This proximity to the hourly spectacle makes it an excellent vantage point for observing the square's daily rhythms.
