Have you ever wondered about the history of that stone stele with the Munich coat of arms on the Elisabethplatz? It’s a Burgfriedenssäule, also known as a Burgfriedenssteine, a type of boundary stone. It was once a defining marker of Munich’s jurisdiction. You see, in the medieval times, Munich wasn’t confined to the city walls. It extended beyond them, thanks to the Burgfrieden. This was a legal district that provided protection and security to those living just outside the city walls. The Burgfriedenssäule 9 tells the story of this important area. It’s a relic of history, standing proudly as a reminder of the city’s past. This particular stele might have been erected around 1521. It is thought to have been originally placed near the Kurfürstenplatz, being moved to the Elisabethplatz in 1958. Even though it was moved, it remains an important landmark, reminding us of the city’s expansion and the importance of the Burgfrieden in earlier times. During your exploration, you’ll see many other fascinating things about Munich.
