The towers of the Frauenkirche with their characteristic onion domes are 99 meters high and were built almost 40 years after the completion of the church.

Frauenkirche has a late Gothic architecture with three naves. The nave is 109 meters long, 40 meters wide and 37 meters high and can accommodate 20,000 people. Most of the stained-glass windows were destroyed during the Allied bombings of World War II.

The interior decoration of the church is simple compared to other Gothic buildings. The altar area is crowned by twelve reliefs from the life of the Mother of God and the exposed statue of Mary Immaculate.

Inside the cathedral there are numerous side chapels variously decorated with altars and sculptures.

The monument to the great Wittelsbach is richly decorated with bronze figures and symbols. A large imperial crown atop the exhibition commemorates the imperial dignity of Louis the Bavarian.

Below the cathedral is the crypt with the tombs of some members of the noble house of Wittelsbach and the archbishops of Munich and Freising.

According to legend, the footprint in the entrance was left by the devil himself. The master builder challenged the devil by promising him his soul, betting that he would be able to build the church without windows. On his return, the devil at first could not see the windows, for they were covered by columns. Exalted, the devil got up stamping his feet and thus left his footprint on the floor.

But when the devil took another step forward, he uncovered the windows and felt that he had been deceived. In anger, he turned into a wind to destroy the building. Even today near the cathedral or at the entrance you tend to feel a light breeze.

Its full name is Staatliches Hofbräuhaus in München or National Court Brewery in Munich, this is also because it is one of the seven factories/breweries in the city.

This restaurant is located in the central area of the city in Hofbräuhaus am Platzl.

Its construction dates back to 1589, by the will of Duke William V who avoided having to establish commercial relations with Lower Saxony for the purchase of beer.

Its opening to the public, however, took place much later, only in 1828 with Louis I of Bavaria.

At the end of the nineteenth century the brewery became the property of the state and was moved to the suburbs to make way for a large guest room.

During the war it was almost completely destroyed but the renovations started immediately after the war until 1958 when it was reopened and then became one of the largest brewery chains in the world with its acronym HB.
