    The equestrian monument of King Ludwig I by Max Widnmann based on a design by Ludwig Michael von Schwanthaler was cast in ore in Ferdinand Miller's workshop. It was ceremoniously unveiled in 1862 on the (old) Odeonsplatz in Munich. King Ludwig, who had already abdicated in 1848, did not come to the celebrations at that time.

    King Ludwig I of Bavaria (1786-1868) had a decisive influence on Munich with his buildings. Among other things, he had Ludwigstrasse, the university, the Feldherrenhalle, the Siegestor, the Königsplatz, the Glyptothek, the Alte Pinakothek and the Bavaria statue built, thereby indebting the Bavarian state high.

    Dedicated to the Bavarian King Ludwig the First.
    Born as Ludwig Karl August (born August 25, 1786 in Strasbourg; † February 29, 1868 in Nice), he was King of the Kingdom of Bavaria from the Wittelsbach family.
    He succeeded his father Maximilian I on the Bavarian throne after his death in 1825 and abdicated in the revolutionary year of 1848 in favor of his son Maximilian II.


    Right at the back of the square is the Bavarian State Ministry of Finance and Home.
