Sendlinger-Tor-Platz

Spent a fun evening with Laura and Jenny yesterday at StuStaCulum, a students' culture festival at Studentenstadt. And today was the 4th public holiday within the month of May - pretty cool to live in Bavaria I'd say!

The blip today is from Sendlinger-Tor-Platz tram stop. The fountains were installed just a year ago - before that the square was extraordinary dull. In the background you see the bell tower of the Evangelical Lutheran Matthäuskirche (St. Matthew's church). St. Mattthäus was the first Protestant church in Munich and was completed in 1833. This original church was torn down by the Nazis in 1938. In 1955 the church was rebuilt in today's modernist form.

Sendlinger-Tor Platz is also one of the major intersection points in Munich's public transportation system, with five underground lines, five tram lines, and several bus lines meeting here.
