Konigsplatz, is one of Munich’s most attractive 19th century squares. In the first half of the 19th century, Ludwig I had the Square built beyond the confines of the medieval city walls. The Greco-Roman style of the buildings was an expression of the Bavarian King’s aspiration to glory. This was a perfect setting for the grandiose plans of Hitler. As early as the 1920s, the Nazis had chosen this Square as an assembly point for their movement. In 1933 they developed a plan to transform the Square into a “political party forum” and the bordering streets were to be lined with their buildings.
