Until its redesign in 2002, the triangular square in Munich's city centre was a small-scale area. Today, it radiates big city flair as a classic "piazza" and offers a view of Munich's oldest parish church, St Peter's Church. The fountain by sculptor Josef Henselmann from 1964 is a reminder of the former cattle trading centre: a herd of cattle stands by the rippling water and is watched by a seated shepherd. The fountain is a popular meeting place. This is also linked to Pettenbeckstraße. It was converted into a pedestrian zone.
