The Siegestor is a triumphal arch in Munich with a total height of 24 meters. The quadriga on the archway stands out here in a very special and visible way - it shows the Bavaria framed by four lions.

The gate is located about one kilometer north of the Feldherrnhalle and separates the Ludwigstraße, which ends there, from the Leopoldstraße and is thus the border between the districts of Maxvorstadt and Schwabing.

Highlight for me at present also the Ambigramm sculpture of the artist Florentine white from steel, with rusty surface: Love - Hate ... a emblematic message!

"Dedicated to victory, destroyed by war, a reminder of peace." That is the inscription that can be read from the Maxstadt. It is worth seeing for that reason alone.

The gate was neither completely demolished after it was damaged in the Second World War (because it was out of date) nor was it restored to its previous state (because it is part of German history).

Very well done and of course an eye-catcher in the middle of the long street axis.

The Siegestor is located about one kilometer north of the Feldherrnhalle and separates the Ludwigstraße, which ends there, from the Leopoldstraße, which has its beginning here. This marks the Siegestor the border between the two Munich districts Maxvorstadt and Schwabing. It has a height of 24 meters. With the Siegestor Friedrich von Gärtner succeeded more than a copy of the Arch of Constantine. The columns, set on high pedestals, emphasize the clear vertical structure. The massive woodwork presses on a heavy load similar to the harmoniously rhythmic three arches. This gives the triumphal arch the architectural power to catch the train of the Victory Gate and to pass it on to the fields and meadows that still dominated in 1852. The enthralling quadriga floats above the victory gate and emphasizes its central axis. At the same time the Bavaria drives on the Quadriga out of town into the fields and meadows looking towards "the Bavarian army" as the inscription on the north side reveals. Johann von Halbig delivered the colossal four-horse-drawn car from Löwen to the model of Johann Martin von Wagner's design for Bavaria, which Friedrich Brugger modeled.
