DE: Das Bronzedenkmal des ersten bayerischen Königs (1756 — 1825) vor der Oper in München geht auf einen Entwurf von Leo von Klenze und Johann Martin von Wagner zurück, der jedoch bei König Max auf Ablehnung stieß, da dieser in stehender Pose dargestellt werden wollte. Nach Maximilians Tod gab Ludwig I. schließlich doch den ursprünglichen Entwurf des sitzenden Monarchen in Auftrag, den 1835 Christian Daniel Rauch in Berlin ausführte. Gegossen wurde es in der Werkstatt von Johann Baptist Stiglmaier. Feierlich enthüllt am 13. Oktober 1835.

After Maximilian's death, Ludwig I finally commissioned the original design of the seated monarch, which Christian Daniel Rauch conducted in Berlin in 1835. It was poured in the workshop of Johann Baptist Stiglmaier. Ceremoniously unveiled on October 13, 1835.
