Maximilian II was King of Bavaria from 1848 to 1864. The king went down in history as a promoter of science and folk culture, and the Maximilian style is also named after him.

It's certainly a monument worth seeing, but it's located on an island between major roads... so it's more of a quick photo opportunity. I wouldn't go out of my way to see it.
