The Feldherrnhalle

The Feldherrnhalle (also written Feldherrenhalle, "Hall of the Commanders") is a monumental building in Munich, Germany. It was built between 1841 and 1844 at the southern end of Munich's Prachtstraße (or Ludwigsstraße). Previously a Gothic Schwabinger Tor (gate) occupied that place. Friedrich von Gärtner built Feldherrnhalle at the behest of King Ludwig I of Bavaria after the example of the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence. The Feldherrnhalle was a symbol of the honours of the Bavarian Army. It contains statues of military leaders Johann Tilly and Karl Phillip von Wrede. The central sculptural group was added in 1882, after the Franco-Prussian War.
