The Waltherplatz (Italian: Piazza Walther), spelled out Walther-von-der-Vogelweide-Platz, is located in the center district of the South Tyrolean capital of Bozen and is considered the "parlor of Bozen".[1] It owes its name to the poet Walther von der Vogelweide, to whom the Walther monument in the middle of the square, made of Lasa marble by Heinrich Natter, is dedicated. Waltherplatz is one of the most striking points and the social center of the city. Important buildings in the immediate vicinity include the Dompfarrkirche Maria Himmelfahrt as the southern boundary, the Palais Menz to the north and west, the Palais Campofranco and the city hotel built by the brothers Alois and Gustav Ludwig in 1912/13, and the Hotel Greif (originally Schwarzer Gripping); to the north is the old town of Bolzano with the Kornplatz and the arcades.
