Max-Joseph-Platz serves as the western starting point of the royal avenue Maximilianstraße.
The square was constructed with the erection of the National Theatre Munich at its east side, which was opened in 1818. Opposite to its Corinthian columns at the west side are middle-class houses. The north side is framed by the Königsbau of the Munich Residence. King Ludwig I of Bavaria instructed his architect Leo von Klenze to build the King's tract in the south of his palace in the style of the Florentine Palazzo Pitti. The facade of the Residenz Theatre is situated between the Königsbau and the National Theatre. The south of Max-Joseph-Platz is dominated by the Neo-Renaissance arcades of the former Palais Toerring-Jettenbach, a rococo mansion which originates from 1747.
The Max-Joseph Denkmal before the Königsbau of the Munich Residence was created in the middle of the square as a memorial for King Maximilian Joseph by Christian Daniel Rauch and carried out by Johann Baptist Stiglmaier. It was only revealed in 1835 since the king had rejected to be eternalized in sitting position.
Our pictures show the Max-Joseph Denkmal, the National Theatre, the facade of the Residenz Theatre, the Königsbau (entrance to the Residenz Museum), the former Palais Toerring-Jettenbach and the "Proof".
