    This monument is the Bavaria Hall of Fame and Monument to Bavaria. The statue is of the patron and female personification of Bavaria. At over 18 metres high, she stands elegant and confident, overlooking the Theresienwiese. As one of the landmarks of Munich, it's a great photo opportunity. Behind the Bavaria statue is the equally impressive and colossal building of the Hall of Fame. The corridors of the hall contains the busts of men and women who have contributed to the development of Bavaria. A walk through the wide corridors resembles a trip into Bavarian history, as the three-winged portico houses busts of important Bavarians from the last few centuries.

    The Hall of Fame is located behind the Bavaria Statue on the Theresienwiese. The colonnade was designed by Leo von Klenze. It was built in 1845. The hall is 68 meters long. Busts of important Bavarian people are exhibited in the colonnade.

    Absolutely impressive stature, with lots of details The size alone is amazing 😮❤ Unfortunately, we could only see the Hall of Fame from a distance, the gates were locked. But it was still absolutely worth the trip.

    I visited the statue during the Oktoberfest. It offers a beautiful panoramic view of the festival as it is positioned on a small slope facing the Theresienwiese. There should also be the possibility to climb the statue, but I didn't have the chance. Behind the colonnade there are several white marble busts representing illustrious Bavarian figures.

    Hall with busts of those who, in times long past, were decorated with rank and name. What I liked best, however, was the statue of Bavaria and her lion!

    (Translated by Google) Worth a détour The Hall of Fame is a three-winged Doric columned hall on the edge of the Isar slope above the Theresienwiese in Munich, designed by Leo von Klenze on behalf of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. It was built between 1843 and 1853 together with the statue of Bavaria and forms a structural unit with it. The ensemble is enclosed by part of the Bavariapark. The hall is 68 meters wide and 32 meters deep. It has an eaves height of 16 meters and stands on a 4.3 meter high, slightly sloping base. The roof is supported by 48 frontal pillars (height 6.95 meters, diameter 1.25 meters) and the rear wall. The hall was built from Kelheim limestone. With its building and the busts of important people from Bavaria exhibited in it, King Ludwig wanted to convey a self-portrayal of Bavaria - especially from the "tribes" Palatinate, Franconia and Swabia, which only came to the old Bavaria around 1800. In connection with the monumental Bavaria statue, he aimed to recognize the “cultural New Bavarian dignity” and “to make it fruitful for the rank of the new, all-Bavarian state”. The dedication read: "In recognition of Bavarian merit and fame, this hall was built by Ludwig I, King of Bavaria". (Original) Worth a détour Die Ruhmeshalle ist eine von Leo von Klenze im Auftrag König Ludwigs I. von Bayern entworfene, dreiflügelige dorische Säulenhalle auf einer Isarhangkante oberhalb der Theresienwiese in München. Sie wurde in den Jahren 1843 bis 1853 zusammen mit der Statue der Bavaria erbaut und bildet mit ihr eine bauliche Einheit. Das Ensemble wird von einem Teil des Bavariaparks umschlossen. Die Halle ist 68 Meter breit und 32 Meter tief. Sie hat eine Dachtraufenhöhe von 16 Metern und steht auf einem 4,3 Meter hohen, leicht geböschten Sockel. Das Dach wird von 48 frontalen Säulen (Höhe 6,95 Meter, Durchmesser 1,25 Meter) und der Rückwand getragen. Erbaut wurde die Halle aus Kelheimer Kalkstein. König Ludwig wollte mit ihrem Bau und den darin ausgestellten Büsten bedeutender Personen aus Bayern – insbesondere auch aus den erst um 1800 zu Altbayern hinzugekommenen „Stämmen“ Pfalz, Franken und Schwaben – eine Selbstdarstellung Bayerns vermitteln. In Verbindung mit der monumentalen Bavaria-Statue legte er es darauf an, die „kulturelle neubayerische Dignität“ anzuerkennen und „sie für den Rang des neuen, gesamtbayerischen Staates fruchtbar zu machen“. Die Widmung lautete: „Als Anerkennung bayerischen Verdienstes und Ruhmes ward diese Halle errichtet von Ludwig I., König von Bayern“.

    Äusserst interessant wenn man sich für die bayerische Geschichte und seine Persönlichkeiten begeistern kann. Viele bekannte aber auch viele unbekannte Namen, die so nicht in Vergessenheit geraten. Der Platz hinter unserer Bavaria ist mach schon einen sehr imposanten Eindruck und es ist schön, dass die Ruhmeshalle jetzt wieder für das breite Publikum geöffnet ist.

    The Hall of Fame sits next to the Bavaria Statue above the Theresienwiese in Munich. Unfortunately, the Hall of Fame was not open to the public at the time of our visit.

    The Ruhmeshalle (literally: hall of fame) is a massive lodge made up of Doric-style columns and overlooks, together with the statue of Bavaria, the nearby Theresienwiese. It was built in 1853 by the famous architect Leo von Klenze on behalf of the Bavarian king Ludwig I. Inside there are busts of around a hundred Bavarians of the last 150 years who have brought prestige to Bavaria: mainly painters, musicians, philosophers, theologians, writers and scientists. The neoclassical setting of the structure wants to convey the message that Bavaria, and Munich in particular, is like a second Athens, the classical one of Pericles, which saw an exceptional development of the arts, literature and philosophy.

    One of the beautiful places in Munich, at this point You have to hike to this beautiful place and also go very high in your figure to enjoy the beautiful view

    Hinter der Bavaria Statue befindet sich die dreiflügelige Ruhmeshalle. Im Auftrag von König Ludwig I. wurde diese erbaut, um bayerische Persönlichkeiten zu ehren, die sich um das Land, Wissenschaft und Kunst verdient gemacht hatten. So hängen nun in der Ruhmeshalle Büsten von über 90 Persönlichkeiten.

    (Translated by Google) Something disappears behind trees and the Theresienstatue is at least as interesting (Original) Verschwindet etwas hinter Bäumen und der Theresienstatue ist aber mindestens genauso interessant
