Munich - Promenadeplatz

(Local Name: Promenadeplatz / Kardinal-Faulhaber-Strasse) Once Munich's salt market, Promenadeplatz, a long green space between the Frauenkirche and Dreifaltigskeitkirche, is today embellished with statues of the Prince Elector Max Emanuel, the composers Christoph Willibald Gluck and Orlando di Lasso and the Bavarian historian Lorenz von Westenrieder. The first two are by Friedrich Brugger (1848, 1861), the last two by Max von Widnmann (1849, 1854).
