A roughly 180° panorama of Munich's Karlsplatz aka Stachus.

The Karlsplatz is a round square in central Munich. The square was officially named Karlsplatz in 1797, but Munich natives seldom use that name, calling the square instead Stachus, after the former pub "Beim Stachus" that once was located there.

Even the U-Bahn and S-Bahn announcements use the unofficial name.

The Karlstor in the center of the picture is one of the remaining medieval Munich city gates, first mentioned in AD 1302. Today it forms the western end of the pedestrians zone towards the Karlsplatz.

Revisited. The subway station "Westfriedhof" (Western Cemetery) on the border between the districts of Moosach and Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, along lines U1/U7.

Pretty popular photo location for obvious reasons...

The blue walls (remainders of the slurry wall that was used during construction) and the 11 huge lamps of 3.80 m diameter each give a very special atmosphere. The lamps do have yellow, red and blue lights, so each section has a slightly different atmosphere.

Interior of the Frauenkirche cathedral, a Munich landmark. The official name of this late Gothic cathedral is "Dom zu Unserer Lieben Frau".

This is another wide view of the ceiling with the Gothic rib vault and the supporting columns. Construction of the current building started Feb. 9th 1468 and already in 1488 the building was nearly completed - which is a surprisingly short time for a Gothic cathedral.
