history
The square was formerly called Feilitzschplatz (after Maximilian von Feilitzsch ), from 1933 also Danziger Freiheit . In 1946 it was named Münchener Freiheit in memory of the Freedom Action Bavaria resistance group , which in April 1945 called for surrender to the American troops and for an armed uprising against the remaining Nazi units. To commemorate this, a 4 m × 0.4 m bronze plaque with an inscription was placed on the eastern border of the forum in 1981 by Franz Hart . A previously existing memorial plaque attached to the street sign was lost when the subway was built in 1971.
The designation as Danziger Freiheit was based on a call by the traffic control center in Danzig , which had been ruled by the National Socialists since 1933 , to name a busy place in large German cities called Danziger Freiheit , in order to express the demand for a change in the status of the Free City of Danzig . In doing so, she referred to a speech by Joseph Goebbels , which he had given on May 17, 1933 to representatives of German tourism . There were places with this name in many German cities, most of which were renamed after the war.
In 1877 Ludwig Petuel sen. on the square the "Schwabinger Brewery".
