The Odeonsplatz is one of the main squares in the historic center of Munich and some of the city's most famous monuments overlook it. Worth seeing in this square are the Loggia dei Marescialli and the church of San Gaetano which stands out with its bright yellow facade and which inside offers valuable stucco decorations. Also from this square you can access the court gardens and, not far away, the sumptuous residence of the Bavarian sovereigns. However, the traffic and the total absence of commercial activities make it unattractive and usable and ultimately you only find yourself passing through it to reach the numerous nearby attractions.

The Odeonsplatz is one of the most important squares in Munich: here they are located
Feldherrnhalle: symbol of the honor of the Bavarian army. Its architecture and the sculptures that decorate it are reminiscent of the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence.
The church of St. Cajetan in Munich is one of the symbols of the city, especially for its yellow Rococo style façade.
The Hofgarten is an Italian-style garden that is perfect for getting away from the chaos, despite being in the heart of the city.

We came from the east, through the Italian Renaissance-style gardens of the Hofgarten, and Residenz royal palace and beyond that the English Garden. The Theatinerkirche church and the old Odeon theater. We got to see the Feldherrnhalle monument, the site of Hitler's 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, but did not realise until afterwards.

This is the square where the Munich Putsch took place.
There is little to recall the time, but if you are interested in the background, I think the empty square will reveal a different landscape.
This is a place worth visiting if you have an interest in modern history.

We came to this plaza from Marienplatz passing the Max-Joseph Platz. There are a few really interesting looking buildings around this square, particularly the Feldherrnhalle and Theatinerkirche. An entrance to the Hofgarten is also at the Plaza. There are quite a few cafes and shops in the area too.
This is a nice place to go if you like historic buildings.

A large square in Altstadt Munich, near Theatine Church and Hofgarten. The battle of the Beer Hall Putsch happened here. Other than the historical significance, I don't think there is anything remarkable here but if you are visiting the Theatine Church and Hofgarten, you can just take a walk.

Odeonsplatz took our breath away! As we wandered through this historic square, we felt the pulse of Munich's vibrant culture. The stunning architecture surrounding us created the perfect backdrop for our photos. We enjoyed a cozy café nearby, sipping coffee while soaking in the lively atmosphere.

We passed through here during a larger walking tour of central Munich. While there is a bit of history surrounding this square, the main activity we observed while we were here (December) was a Christmas tree market. There are some other nice buildings in the square, which can make for some good photos.

A place of some historical interest, as it was here that the Beer Hall Putsch ended. There are some beautiful buildings around, like the Theatine church and the Feldherrnhalle. Not a place I'd necessarily have gone out of my way to see, but interesting nevertheless.

Located just north of the old town of Munich is this public square. There's actually much to do and see in the square as quite a lot of shops, cafes and restaurants are close by. The are some nice building around the square such as the Odeon (for which the square was named, the Palais Leuchtenberg, the Bazaar Building, including the Café Tambosi, the Palais Ludwig Ferdinand and the Brienner Straße.
Probably the square is best known for being the location of the gun battle which ended the Nazi takeover attempt of the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch.

Jeff:
I'm heading to Munich soon and am interested in walking the exact route that Hitler and the putschists took in 1923 when they attempted their putsch. I have a pretty good -- but not perfect -- idea of the route. Do you happen to have a source for the exact route? I have not been able to locate one.
Thank you very much!

All I remember is that the marchers were fired upon at the southern end of the Feldernhall.

Dieser Kommentar wurde wahrscheinlich von einem Nicht-Münchner geschrieben.
Nur zur Information: Der Hitlerputsch fand nicht auf dem Odeonsplatz, sondern in der nahe gelegenen Residenzstraße um die Mittagszeit sein Ende (was auch nicht ganz korrekt ist, weil später noch das von Röhm besetzte Wehrkreiskommando VII in der Ludwigstraße 24 gestürmt wurde). Darum ist der Putsch nicht mit dem Odeonsplatz verbunden, sondern mit der Feldherrnhalle und der Residenzstraße. An der östlichen Seite der Feldherrnhalle war im 3. Reich eine Gedenktafel für die getöteten Putschisten angebracht (und eine weitere kleine Tafel für die getöteten Polizisten der Bayerischen Landespolizei). Während der Nazi-Diktatur mussten Passanten vor dem Denkmal den Hitlergruß entbieten. Wer dies nicht wollte, nahm die Viscardigasse, die hinter der Feldherrnhalle vorbeiführt, weswegen die Gasse damals im Volksmund auch "Drückebergergasse" genannt wurde.
Heute befindet sich am Ende der Residenzstraße eine Gedenktafel für die getöteten Polizisten an der westlichen Wand der Residenz.
