Bayerisches Armeedenkmal - München, Germany - Specific Wars Monuments and Memorials on Waymarking.com

The Feldherrnhalle (Field Marshals' Hall) is a monumental loggia on the Odeonsplatz in Munich. Modeled after the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, it was commissioned in 1841 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to honor the tradition of his army.

The Feldherrnhalle was a symbol of the honours of the Bavarian Army, represented by statues of two military leaders Johann Tilly and Karl Philipp von Wrede. The first led Bavarians in the Thirty Years War; the second led the fight against Napoleon. The statues were created by Ludwig Schwanthaler.

A sculptural group by Ferdinand von Miller Jr. was added to the centre of the Feldherrnhalle in 1882, to pay tribute to the Bavarian army’s exploits in the Franco Prussian war (1870-1871). The bronze sculpture group comprises a Greek warrior with flag, with the allegorical figure of victory (a woman with laurel wreath and a palm branch) and a lion.
