Richard-Strauss-Brunnen

It is a nice bakery with lots of great choices. Austrian Strudel is something as a must try.

Good local Bavarian sandwich SCHNITTLAUCHBREZE ....Salty with cheese and green papers...Amazin

The place is ok, well decorated, but is quite expensive and there are a lot of people

Usually, I sit here outside, so I didn't know that there is a good place inside as well.

Richard-Strauss-Brunnen befindet sich zwischen Stachus und Marienplatz in der (Münchner Innenstadt - Fußgängerzone). Gegenüber an der Südseite stand das Geburtshaus von Richard Strauss. Der Brunnen wurde zur Ehrung des berühmten Sohnes der Stadt Richard Strauss 1962 von Hans Wimmer geschaffen und enthält Szenen der Oper Salome. Dem antiken Thema angelehnt wurde der Brunnen als Säule gestaltet.

An interesting monument to see along Neuhauser Straße near St. Michael's Church is Richard-Strauss Brunnen (fountain) which was constructed here in 1962 by German sculptor Hans Wimmer as tribute to the musical composer and son of Munich.What you will see here is a ornamental pillar with scenes from Strauss's opera Salome. The pillar is topped by a small basin from which water spills down into a pool from which the pillar stands. The pool is slightly below ground level.Note that the location of the Strauss Fountain is significant in that it is directly across the street from the his birthplace in 1864.This is an interesting fountain structure that is worth seeking out while you explore the Ol Town. It is conveniently located so give it a few minutes when walking along popular Neuhauser Straße.

Ein schöner Platz, der zum Verweilen einlädt.Vor allem an einem sonnigen Tag kann man sich hier eine kurze Rast gönnen und die *eiligen* Fußgänger an sich vorbeilaufen sehen.

Staff very friendly, good coffee and dessert nice.

I came across the Richard Strauss Fountain just in front of the Alte Akademie on Neuhauserstrasse, one of the main shopping streets in Munich. The fountain was created in honour of the composer, Richard Strauss.The fountain consists of a bowl atop a 6 meter high bronze column. Around the column is base relief sculptures of scenes inspired by the Strasse's opera, Salome. Water falls from the bowl in different directions, creating an illusion of a wet veil alluding to the final dance in the opera called the Dance of the Seven Veils.
