The Dom Pedro Square is a place in the Munich district of Neuhausen . It was created from 1899 and named after the first emperor of Brazil, Dom Pedro , who was married to Amélie von Leuchtenberg , a granddaughter of the Bavarian King Maximilian I , in his second marriage .
description
Dom-Pedro-Platz is not far west of Landshuter Allee in the extension of Dom-Pedro-Straße coming from the east from Leonrodplatz , which extends beyond the square as Sankt-Galler-Straße to the eastern end of the eastern part of the Nymphenburg Canal, also known as the Schlosskanal leads.
The square, which is of little importance in terms of traffic, gains its importance through its urban function. "The most remarkable of the district centers designed in the sense of picturesque urban development at the turn of the century ... As a loose grouping of public buildings of predominantly social character in a historicizing style and, in connection with greenery, a typical Munich solution." The square is protected as an ensemble (E-1-62- 000-9).
history
The urban planning design of Neuhausen depended on the further fate of the railway line running along the route of today's Landshuter Allee. The square, which was designed as the new center of Neuhausen, was deliberately contrasted with Nymphenburg Palace and determined by the neo -baroque style . The buildings (old people's home and school) by Hans Grässel , as well as the western Munich orphanage leading to the Nymphenburg Canal (all between 1896 and 1907) and the Protestant Christ Church (by Heilmann & Littmann ) set themselves on the green square, especially with their towers, Accents.
