Odeonsplatz in Munich originates from the beginning of 19 century when Maximilian I Joseph agreed with plans of his son and heir (Ludwig I) to arrange this area. The idea was to make from Odeonsplatz central entrance to the city.
The Odeonsplatz inherited its name from the concert hall “Odeon”. In 1862 on this square was raised statue of the King Ludwig I designed by Max Widmann.
