The Königsplatz is a square in Munich's Maxvorstadt. It is best known for the many open-air events that take place there.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the architect Karl von Fischer was commissioned to build a magnificent square at the end of Brienner Strasse. Fischer designed this square based on the model of the Acropolis of Athens. The Königsplatz should not serve a specific purpose or a staging of the government. Its only job was to emulate the aesthetics of antiquity. The architect Leo von Klenze finally completed this project.At the time of the Third Reich, there was no place in Munich that the Nazis used more for self-expression than the Königsplatz. On May 10, 1933, Königsplatz was also one of the places where the National Socialists burned the books of "unloved" writers, such as Erich Kästner or Kurt Tucholsky.Contrary to Fischer's conception that the Königsplatz had a lot of green space, the Nazis laid around 20,000 granite slabs on the Königsplatz in 1935 so that it could be used for numerous marches.
