Guided Story
Have you noticed the intricate details in the sculpture of Saint Emmeram here? Look closely at the artistic lines and the expression captured by the sculptor Rolf Nida-Rümelin. Unveiled in 1979, this piece honors the life of Saint Emmeram, a 7th-century missionary in Bavaria. Just behind you, a short walk away, is the Sankt-Emmeram Bridge, a popular spot for walks crossing the river. And if you're interested in more history, the Memorial Chapel of St. Emmeram is also nearby. This sculpture isn't just art; it's a piece of Munich's living history.
