Georg-Kronawitter-Platz
A new public open space is planned in the middle of Munich's old town, just a few steps away from Marienplatz. Georg-Kronawitter-Platz would gain its space from the demolition of the Hirmer parking garage on Färbergraben and the former post office building opposite. The master plan for its design is as follows: retail, offices, services and housing are to be created in an aesthetically pleasing environment, which will also include the creation of a pedestrian zone. According to the plans, the square with its shady canopy of trees will be an important link between the pedestrian zone, Hackenviertel and Sendlinger Strasse. The project is currently on hold.
