Facts and practical information

Weißenburger Platz is a square in Munich's Franzosenviertel in the Haidhausen district. In the middle of the concentrically arranged square is the Glaspalast-Brunnen, designed by August von Voit in 1853. This was initially located in the Glaspalast in the Alter Botanischer Garten - hence the name. At the end of the 19th century the fountain was moved to Orleansplatz. When the Ostbahnhof there was rebuilt, the Glaspalast-Brunnen had to make room and was moved to the nearby Weißenburger Platz. After dusk the fountains water feature is illuminated. ()
