Hof garden
The Hofgarten is a baroque park on the northern edge of Munich's old town .
The history of the Munich court garden at today's location began in 1560 under Duke Albrecht of Bavaria with the construction of a new Renaissance garden with a (not preserved) pleasure house and a (partially preserved) arcade north of an older complex from the early 16th century. [1] The pleasure house was located in the northeast corner of today's area and was integrated into the extended garden in the next phase.
The Odeonplatz
The Odeonsplatz is a large square in central Munich which was developed in the early 19th century by Leo von Klenze and is at the southern end of the Ludwigstraße, developed at the same time. The square is named for the former concert hall, the Odeon, on its northwestern side. The name Odeonsplatz has come to be extended to the parvis (forecourt) of the Residenz, in front of the Theatine Church and terminated by the Feldherrnhalle, which lies to the south of it. The square was the scene of a fatal gun battle which ended the march on the Feldherrnhalle during the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch.
