Marienplatz, the square of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is the central square of the capital of Bavaria, in southern Germany. Immediately after the foundation of Munich by Duke Heinrich the Lion in 1158, the square became the main point of the city, where the main east-west and north-south roads intersected.
Since 1315, when Kaiser Ludwig granted Munich the freedom of market trade, the current Marienplatz has been home to various markets: egg, fish, wine and grain markets. And on the site where the Fischbrunnen fountain is located today, there was actually a fish market. There is an unusual belief associated with this fountain. If you want to have money, wash your wallet in the Fish Fountain).
Marienplatz square was both a place where knights' tournaments were held and a place for public executions. From 1566, the houses of the regional representatives of the Duke of Bavaria were built on Marienplatz, which gave the square political significance.
