Lenbachplatz

Lenbachplatz in Munich is a typical example of turn-of-the-century urban design. The buildings are grouped with a view to picturesque effect, without any precise plan or close relation to one another.

To the south the square opens into Karlsplatz (Stachus); on its west side are the massive Old Law Courts (Justizpalast) and the entrance to the Botanischer Garten, with Herigoyen's Neo-Classical gate; and on the north is the palatial building occupied by the Bavarian stock exchange (Börse).
