Munich: Maximilianstraße

About location

Maximilianstraße occupies an east–west corridor in central Munich, Bavaria. Laid out for King Maximilian II in the mid-19th century, this ceremonial avenue is closely associated with the Maximilian style, which combined medieval and Renaissance references in a new civic architecture. It leads from Munich’s historic core across the Isar on the Maximiliansbrücke towards the Maximilianeum, the imposing building that houses the Bavarian Parliament. Arcaded façades, cultural institutions and high-end shops make the street a defining address in Bavaria’s capital, while broad trees and the river crossing soften its formal urban plan.

City Munich

Munich straddles the River Isar in Bavaria, and this setting has linked the city to the Alpine foothills south of it. Marienplatz forms the historic centre, where the neo-Gothic New Town Hall and its Glockenspiel are enduring symbols of civic Munich. Nearby, the Frauenkirche’s twin domed towers shape one of the city’s most recognisable silhouettes. Munich is also inseparable from Oktoberfest, the annual festival held on the Theresienwiese since 1810, while the English Garden follows the Isar north of the centre.

Region Bavaria

Built around the early medieval Duchy of Bavaria, Bavaria grew into Germany’s largest federal state. The Danube crosses its broad centre, while the Bavarian Alps form its southern edge and include the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain. Munich is the state capital and the home of Oktoberfest, a festival rooted in an 1810 royal wedding. Beyond the metropolis, Franconia’s vineyards, Swabian towns and Alpine resorts reveal how varied this part of Germany can be.

Country Germany

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
