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.

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