Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Today, the statue honoring Orlando di Lasso serves as a memorial to Michael Jackson. It has been decorated by Michael Jackson's fans with posters, flowers, and grave lights since his death in 2009. Michael Jackson stayed at the Hotel Bayerischer Hof next to the statue several times.
Orlando di Lasso is considered one of the most important composers of the High Renaissance. The composer lived in Munich until his death in 1594.
It is the music that combines Orlando di Lasso and Michael Jackson.

We happened across this memorial whilst standing opposite the Bayerischer Hof Hotel. We had actually gone to find the hotel because that was where Freddie Mercury wrote 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' whilst sitting in his bubble bath. We thought this shine was interesting and obviously a very special pilgrimage site for fans. We weren't aware of the significance of it being there until after we had come home. It's exciting that Michael stayed in the hotel as well. I think it's special that places like this exist for fans to pay tribute to their idols. For us it was a quirky addition to our visit and a definite talking point but to true Michael Jackson fans it's a must-see!

This is by far one of the oddes memorials I've seen in Munich. This is supposed to be a monument to the late Renaissance composer, Orlande de Lassus. The residents of Munich have commandeered this monument and turn it into a memorial to the late great Peter Pan of pop, Michael Jackson. Fans of the pop star have laid down many tributes of flowers, photos and other MJ memorabilia.
Pity poor Orlande!

I don't understand how this is in any way an official attraction. It is just a bunch of Michael Jackson photos stuck to the base of a statue. It's truly people just hijacking a statue. It's not my place, but if I were a resident of Munich, there's a strong chance I would be there in the middle of the night giving that statue a good cleaning.

THIS IS NOT A MEMORIAL FOR MICHAEL JACKSON!!!
It's completely and utterly made up! Why you would want to go here, I have no idea.. even if you're a hard core Michael Jackson fan, you should surely know, that the connection between Munich and Michael is like putting up a Heino memorial in New York! Heino? Who's that? ... Exactly

We were on a guided city tour and it was very unexpected to see this memorial to MJ. I am thankful to the city authorities that they let people keep it, because it is actually right on the monument to a different musician.

This is actually a statue built in memory of a German composer. However, it 'evolved' into a Michael Jackson memorial. People placed photos and memorabilia of Michael Jackson here, so it became his memorial.
Nothing much here, unless you are a MJ fan.

This is a beautiful tribute to Michael Jackson. People have taken care of it for six years and it is still a magical place.

Quirky, colourful, rather daft! An interesting find to stumble upon but ultimately a very basic sight not worth planning much of your day around.

A few friends and I stumbled across this one day. I've no idea why this is a thing but it is. If you're a fan go and see it I guess. Very odd indeed.
