 | Munich Feldherrenhalle Reviews | 1 - 10 of 16 |  |
the feldherrnhalle, (field marshall's hall) was built by the wittelsbachs to honor bavarian generals. the two statues in the hall are of general johann tilly and karl philipp van wrede. tilly surrendered munich to the swedes which saved munich from a swedish seige. von wrede defeated the french at the battle of nations in 1815. the architechture of the feldherrnhalle was inspired by the loggia dei lanzi in florence. in 1923 2000 nazis fought government troops here in the failed beer hall putsch. when the nazis came to power in 1933 hitler designated the feldherrnhalle a national shrine. all citizens that passed this site were required to salute the fallen "martyrs" of the early nazi movement. an interesting web site to visit to see before and after pictures of nazi munich is www.thirdreichruins.com Address: odeonsplatzDirections: central munich, odeonsplatz. residenzstrasse and ludwigstrasse. u-bahn: odeonsplatz.Website: www.thirdreichruins.com

The Feldherrnhalle was built 1841 similar to the "Loggia dei Lanzi" in Florence / Firenze.
2 sculptures there show General Tilly and General Wrede who were sucessful warriors in Bavarian history...
...in 1923 Adolf Hitler tried to march with some of his "Generals" to the Feldherrnhalle, but was arrested before they were able to do a coup d'etat.
Next to the feldherrnhalle you see Theatinerkirche on Odeonsplatz. Leave a Comment Address: OdeonsplatzDirections: Odeonsplatz has its own U-bahn-station and is just about 500 meters from Marienplatz

The Feldherrenhalle, actually a copy of a Florentine palace, became infamous, because it was the scene of Hitler's failed coup back in 1923. He was sentenced to 5 years imprisonment, a ridiculous sentence and a shame for Germany's legal system whose judges were little more loyal to the young Weimar Republic than the Nazis themselves. This pretty much foreshadowed the total failure and deep involvement of the judicial system in the Nazis coming to and staying in power.
The building itself is quite peculiar, somehow there's something oriental, something mosque-like about it. Don't you think? Leave a Comment

Feldherrenhalle marks the end of the impressive Ludwigstraße. It was built in the 19th century - again to resemble Italian style. This time Loggia dei Lanzi was the building that was copied. There's several statues on the stairs - some show important people like General Tilly, others are the typical lions. Leave a Comment Address: OdeonsplatzDirections: U3, U6 Odeonsplatz

The hall shelters statues of Bavaria's two greatest military heroes: Johann Tilly, the imperial field marshal in the Thirty Years War, and Karl Philipp von Wrede, the commander of the Bavarian corps originally allied with Napoleon, which changed sides in time to help defeat the French at the Battle of the Nations. Between the two is a memorial to the Bavarian dead of the Franco-Prussian War. It was here on November 9, 1923 that armed police stopped Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch in its tracks, opening fire on the future dictator's band of would-be revolutionaries as they stood at the head of the narrow Residenzstrasse, in the shadow of the Feldherrnhalle.

A monument field marshals under the Wittelsbachs.
The Odeonsplatz & Felderrnhalle had significance to National Socialism, as had other places in Munich. Leave a Comment Address: At the begining of the Odeonsplatz.
