The Holy Trinity Square in Munich's medieval Old Town is a small place in the Anger neighborhood east of the Viktualienmarkt . It is named after the Trinity because a Trinity chapel stood in its place until the early 19th century.

The Fischerbach used to run between the square and the Viktualienmarkt .

history

The square was created on the former cemetery of the Heilig-Geist-Spital . It was consecrated in 1543, has not been re-occupied since 1769 and was abolished in the course of secularization in 1803. The Trinity Chapel was built from 1679 and was consecrated on October 7, 1681. The hospital's grain bin stood next to her . The chapel was rebuilt and expanded for the first time in 1718 and was converted into a schoolhouse in 1803 and demolished at an unknown time before 1818. The first mention of the place name was also in 1818 on an official map of the city of Munich.

The two place names “(Unteres) Elend” and “Auf Spitaler Hofstatt” are associated with the cemetery and today's square, but cannot be clearly located spatially.

Development and use

The name Dreifaltigkeitsplatz refers to the actual square and its access routes from the west and south. The Heiliggeiststraße flows from the north . The Westenriederstraße runs to the south , it is the only one not a pedestrian zone .

Only four houses are assigned to the square, house number 1 is on the north side, house number 2 is in the west, number 3 in the east, number 4 in the southwest. All houses are individually designated as architectural monuments and are part of the old town ensemble . Its current appearance was completed almost simultaneously between 1882 and 1903, but some of the structures are based on older buildings.

House 1 dates from around 1790/1800. The facade was redesigned around 1900 and painted in the neo-baroque style.

The current building Dreifaltigkeitsplatz 2 was built by Heilmann & Littmann in 1895/96 in the neo-renaissance style. The first known previous owner of the property was a fisherman, until 1898 a lawyer was connected to the property to fish in the Isar and to sell the catch at two fish chest places.

Dreifaltigkeitsplatz 3 was built in 1901–03 by the architect Max Ostenrieder . The property was originally the back of a Streckhof farm that stretched south from the valley . It was not until 1860 that the section on Dreifaltigkeitsplatz became independent.

The building at Dreifaltigkeitsplatz 4 on the south-west corner is essentially from the Baroque era. It was rebuilt in the classicism style in 1881/82 by Alois Bischoff and Josef Grassl . As early as 1911, Max Albrecht added one floor and redesigned the facades in the Munich home style . The paintings on the corner of the building date from 1993.

All four buildings are used by traditional pubs, the square serves as a bar area for the pubs in houses 1 and 3. Two other houses that face the square, but the house numbers refer to the surrounding streets, are also architectural monuments. There is another restaurant at Westenriederstrasse 13 and a hotel at Heiliggeiststrasse 6 .
