1. The Field Marshals’ Hall (Feldherrnhalle) is a monumental building located in Munich, Germany. It was built in 1844-1847 by Friedrich von Gärtner in neo-Renaissance style. The building was originally intended to honor the military leaders of Bavaria, especially those who fought in the Napoleonic Wars. However, it became famous during the Nazi era as the site of the failed coup attempt by Hitler’s followers in 1923. The incident resulted in the deaths of 16 Nazis and 4 police officers, and Hitler was arrested and imprisoned.
The Field Marshals’ Hall is located on the Odeonsplatz, a large square in the center of Munich. It is decorated with numerous statues and reliefs, including those of Bavarian kings and military commanders. The building is also known for its large arcades, which were designed to resemble those of the Palazzo Farnese in Rome.
