Hello, travellers! Here starts your journey to Munich and buckle up because the adventure awaits you with the most haunted stories. The first checkpoint is Odeonsplatz, an impressive square in central Munich which was designed in the early 19th century by Leo von Klenze in an Italian-like style. Hidden out of sight is the history of this place.It was here that an obscure leader of a minor band decided to march into Munich to seize control of Bavaria in 1921. The only problem was that the authorities were notified and were waiting with machine guns at Odeonsplatz. While some were killed in the fire, they missed the unknown leader, who later caused so many deaths in Europe. Wait no more and discover who that controversial character was by solving the challenge.
If you sense the smell of roses while hearing the rustling of the leaves in the wind, then most probably you find yourself sitting on a bench in the small paradise of Hofgarten. At the edge of Munich’s historic old town, there lays this green park designed in the 17th century by Elector Maximilian I, having as a muse an idyllic Italian Renaissance garden. This used to be a place where only high-class personalities, such as dukes or electors, were allowed to take a walk and enjoy the scenery. Nowadays, we can all enjoy its majestic architecture, but could it be a place where dark, ancient secrets lie? Only by looking around you, you can find the answer and advance further.
You are now headed towards another place reminiscent of that Italian grandeur: the Theatine Church of St. Cajetan. This is a Catolic church erected by Elector Ferdinand Maria and his wife Henriette Adelaide in the mid 17th century, as a tribute to the birth of the long-awaited heir to the Bavarian throne. However, make sure you don’t just admire this jewel only from the outside – the white, ornate interior wonderfully creates a contrast to the brighter yellow of the facade, that became a well known symbol for the city and influenced the German Baroque architecture. Don’t get entrapped in the beauty of the place because you still need to find some answers!
