The Angel of Peace is a striking monument in the Bogenhausen district and was erected in 1899 to commemorate 25 years of peace following the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. It consists of a 38-meter-high column topped by a golden angel statue, modeled after the Greek goddesses of victory. The monument stands in the middle of a park-like setting with a fountain and a viewing terrace offering a beautiful view of the city. The Angel of Peace is a popular vantage point and a symbolic monument to peace and historical remembrance in Munich.

Officially "Friedensdenkmal", one of the most famous monuments of the city, which one passes through a run through the Maximiliansanlagen either below (e.g. through the bicycle underpass on Prinzregentenstrasse) or above.

The fountain at the foot of the Friedensengel at the end of Prinzregentenstraße dates back to 1893. It is part of the overall system, which commemorates 25 years of peace after the 1871 victory over France, was built from May 1896 and was inaugurated on July 16, 1899.
