Max-Joseph-Platz

Max-Joseph-Platz was redesigned in 2025. The square has been greened with grass and equipped with movable furniture and plant containers. It now features generous promenading areas and a radiating pathway layout inspired by historical models. The entrance to the underground parking garage has been reduced in size. The eight historic street lamps have also been restored both visually and technically. These historic candelabras now illuminate the square using modern LED technology. Max-Joseph-Platz was originally designed around 1820 by Leo von Klenze, inspired by the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome. Framed by the Königsbau of the Residenz, the Residenz Theatre “Resi”, the National Theatre, the arcades of Palais Toerring-Jettenbach, and historic townhouses, the square is used in many ways: Not only does it host the popular “Opera for All”, but it has also been the venue for demonstrations, art installations, and the “Dinner in White”.
