Prinzregentenplatz, square in Bogenhausen, Munich, Germany

Prinzregentenplatz is a square in the Bogenhausen district of Munich, Germany. It is framed by the Prinzregententheater, several buildings from the early 1900s, and a fountain, with a small green area that holds a monument to Richard Wagner.

The square was created around 1900 as part of the Prinzregentenstraße, a grand boulevard designed for Munich's middle class. In the 1930s, it gained notoriety because Adolf Hitler kept a private apartment at number 16, and after the war the building was converted into a police station.

The square is named after Luitpold, the prince regent of Bavaria, and its layout and buildings reflect the civic pride of the early 1900s. Today, locals and visitors pass through it on their way to the theatre or the nearby streets, and the Wagner monument in the green area is a meeting point for music lovers.

The square is easy to reach on foot from the surrounding streets, and an underground station of the same name sits right at its edge. When you arrive, take a moment to orient yourself: the theatre stands on one side, while the fountain and green area are in the middle, so you can choose where to start your walk.

The building at number 16, now a police station, was once Hitler's private residence, and it was there that he met with Mussolini and Chamberlain. Visitors often walk past without realizing the role this address played in history.
