      Prof. Herbert Jensen is virtually the inventor of the pedestrian zone from Karlstor to Marienplatz. In his honor, the blackboard was attached to Karlstor. The sculptures were originally on a fountain at Marienplatz.

        Franz Xaver Krenkl (1780-1860) was a horse dealer, racing stable owner and hired coachman. When he once illegally overtook Crown Prince Ludwig in a carriage, he is said to have uttered the saying "Wer ko, der ko".
