Great views of the broad avenue, Prinzregentenstrasse and the Isar, complete with numerous fountains and formal gardens on either side. The Friedensengel, the Angel of Peace, stands above Europaplatz atop a traditional 38 meter high Corinthian column. Built in 1899, the monument is a reminder of the 25 years of peace following the Franco-German war of 1870-71. The six meter tall bronze gilded statue at the top is a replica of the Nike of Paeonius. Interestingly, the statue fell from the top of the column in 1981. The significantly damaged bronze had both wings and leg replaced and was returned to the top of the column in 1983. The wings are now at a much steeper angle than the original.

Beautiful and historic place , you can start a nice walk from there along the Isar River. If you visit Munich this place is one of the must see spots , also because from there you can start a nice long walk along the river but also towards Odeonsplatz. In summer there are many people sitting there and drinking , hanging out or when it gets dark watching the sunset. Before you go you should also read a little bit about it’s history so that you also understand where it came from. Also you can make nice pictures from there so you could take your (video) camera with you and do a little shooting , you can see people doing that there very often.

The Angel of Peace is a part of the monument that stands in tribute to the 25 years of peace after the Franco-German war of 1870/71. The monument consists of an open courtyard with fountain. Two staircases lead to the observation deck and the crowning glory of the monument. The Angel of Peace sits atop a 38 metres high column and built in the Corinthian style. The sculpture is a copy of the Nike of Paeonius and depicts the goddess in descending flight. In her right hand, she extends a laurel leaf in a gesture of peace. In her left, she cups in a much smaller sculpture of Athena to symbolise the victory of peace over war.

A very beautiful place for relax to the body and soul. For the first, there are benches and trees that cover them from the sun, and for the second there is a stone observation platform, onto which you climb the stairs and at the foot of which there is a fountain. In the site itself, an arch is cut out from which a stone covered with greenery sticks out. And on the site there is an established column on top of which is a statue of Angel of the piece. This place can be called a "hidden gem" for a tourist who, making plans for this city, could miss such an interesting place for his eyes.

I have visited this place two times. It is a park with long and high mast, having a Golden Angel atop it. It is a Peace Monument. As per an inscription plate nearby it was erected by Heinrich Dull, Georg Pezold and Max Heilmaier during 1896-1899. It is overlooking the whole city and a good place to visit. Indian Consulate is nearby across the river Issar. No ticket is required.

Ο Friedensengel, ή Άγγελος της Ειρήνης, είναι ένα εμβληματικό μνημείο που βρίσκεται στο Μόναχο, Γερμανία. Ανεγέρθηκε ως σύμβολο ειρήνης μετά τον τερματισμό του πολέμου της Γαλλο-Πρωσικής πολέμου το 1871, αλλά ολοκληρώθηκε το 1899. Ο Friedensengel βρίσκεται στην περιοχή Bogenhausen του Μονάχου και αναδεικνύεται στο κορυφαίο σημείο του λόφου της Πρίνσιπαλ. Οι επισκέπτες μπορούν να απολαύσουν εκπληκτική θέα προς την πόλη από την πλατεία του Friedensengel. Το μνημείο περιλαμβάνει μια υψηλή στήλη με ένα χάλκινο άγαλμα ενός άγγελου που σηκώνει ένα λάβαρο, συμβολίζοντας την ειρήνη. Η βάση της στήλης διακοσμείται με ανάγλυφα σκηνικά που αναφέρονται σε σημαντικά γεγονότα από τη γερμανική ιστορία. Ο Friedensengel είναι ένας αγαπημένος προορισμός τόσο για ντόπιους όσο και για επισκέπτες, που προσελκύει λόγω της αρχιτεκτονικής του ομορφιάς και της ειρηνικής ατμόσφαιράς του. Επιπλέον, προσφέρει μια υπέροχη ευκαιρία για φωτογραφίες με το Μονάχο ως φόντο.
