38-frauenkirche-01

Almost arrived at Marienplatz, I paused to capture this image of the Frauenkirche. The following description comes from http://www.aviewoncities.com/munich/frauenkirche.htm:

"East of the Marienplatz is the landmark which features on most of Munich's postcards: the Frauenkirche or Church of Our Lady. The foundation stone was laid by Duke Sigismund in 1468. The building Frauenkirche measures 109 meters (358ft) high and is 40 meters (131ft) wide. Its distinctive domes, which were built in 1525 would serve as a model for many of Bavaria's towers."
