Maximiliansanlagen: Relaxed stroll along the Isar river
The borders of the Maximiliansanlagen are the Max-Joseph-Brücke (bridge) in the south and the Ludwigsbrücke to the north. The groups of trees are planted in such a way that a view of the old town is always possible. The impressive column of the Friedensengel (Angel of Peace) towers in the center of the park - the landmark has been looking down on the people of Munich since 1899.
On the site of the park, there once used to be a sheep meadow. Between 1856 and 1861, the Maximiliansanlagen were given their current form based on designs by architect Peter Josef Lenné and by Carl von Effner.
