Description

The Siegestor is a monumental triumphal gate in Munich, inspired by the Roman Arch of Constantine. Built between 1843 and 1852 and commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria, it combines neoclassical architecture with a profound message of peace.

Decorated with sculptures and reliefs depicting scenes of military triumph, it is topped by a bronze quadriga with lions led by an allegorical figure of Bavaria.

The unique inscription 'Dedicated to victory, destroyed by war, a reminder of peace' reflects the transformation of this monument from a symbol of military triumph to a symbol of peace.

avatarV Ya month agoOne of the main Landmarks of Leopoldstraße. Translated as Victory gate, was completed in 1857, the inscription on the back side is by Wilhelm Hausenstein and reads "Dedicated to victory, destroyed by war, reminding of peace“. Has some nice light installations on during Corso Leopold festival.
avatarNattawan S2 years agoI had a nice walk around this historic of the glory of Bavarian. I went there early in the morning place was empty I really enjoy taking photo and walking around this place. I wanted to go at night time as well but didn’t have enough time to go there again hopefully next time I have a chance
