Guided Story

You're standing before a piece of Bavarian history. This monument was designed by Friedrich Brugger in 1861. It commemorates Elector Maximilian II Emanuel, who lived in the 17th and 18th centuries. Look around, you're on Promenadeplatz, close to the famous Hotel Bayerischer Hof. The classical style of the monument reflects the elegance of its era. If you glance to your left, you'll spot the Lorenz-von-Westenrieder-Denkmal, another historical marker. Sometimes it's worth pausing for a moment to feel the connection to the past.
