Marienplatz, Munich
>> Sunday, 26 July 2009
After checking into our hotel, we headed straight to the central of Munich, Marienplatz. The metro (underground train) is a little different from London's Tube.
The platforms are bigger and the trains are slightly wider. However, the train coaches do look quite old.
Hopping of at the Marienplatz station gets you to the heart of Munich city.
This is the Fish Fountain (Fischbrunnen) designed by Konrad Knoll in 1864 which is located next to the Town Hall.
Everything looks medieval here, even the door as well.
Georg Joseph Hauberrisser is the guy who built the New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus) between 1867 and 1909.
Deployed my tripod. One... two... three... smile....!
Standing tall is the Frauenkirche which means "Church of Our Lady".
This church was built in 1468 by Duke Sigismund. However, the green domes at the top of the tower were added in 1525.
Some buildings around the Frauenkirche. Very green indeed.
