Feldherrnhalle
The Feldherrnhalle is located on Odeonsplatz in Munich, Germany. It is a memorial pavilion styled after Florence’s Loggia dei Lanzi, built between 1841 and 1844 to honor Bavarian military commanders and as a symbol of honor for the Bavarian Army.
The Feldherrnhalle is famous for its tall standing sculptures, each about 20 meters high. At the center is a memorial statue for the Bavarian Army during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871. The lion statues on either side of the steps are symbols of King Henry the Lion (König Löwe Heinrich), who ordered the founding of Munich in 1158. On the left side of the hall is the bronze statue of Bavarian Field Marshal Count von Tilly (Graf von Tilly), a Bavarian military leader who achieved his first major victory at the Battle of White Mountain (Weissenberg) in 1620 during the Thirty Years' War. On the right is the bronze statue of Prince Karl Philipp, known for his involvement in wars against France.
