The Rundfunkplatz is a place in the western area of the inner city of the Bavarian capital Munich .
The square is located in the Maxvorstadt district south of Marsstrasse, east of the confluence with Hopfenstrasse. The terrain is the northwest corner of the so-called Maffeianger, a square bordered by Marsstrasse in the north, Seidlstrasse in the east, Arnulfstrasse in the south and Hopfenstrasse in the east, which was used as a municipal storage area until the end of the 19th century.
In 1902, the Bavarian state acquired the site in order to build a central post office building for the previously separate offices. In the following year, the plan was included in a new building project for the newly founded Bavarian Ministry of Transport. With the construction of the Ministry of Transport between 1905 and 1913, Carl Hocheder created a stately multi-wing building complex with a central domed hall, which was intended to demonstrate Bavaria's right to reserve its own railway and post office in the German Empire .
In front of its northern front there was a free space south of Marsstrasse. After the establishment of the Münchner Funkhaus in 1929, it was named Rundfunkplatz . After a long period of neglect, it was horticulturally redesigned in 2002.
