Odeonsplatz
At the end of the Residenzstrasse is the Odeonsplatz. The Feldhernhalle is the first thing on your left when you walk onto the sqair. It’s a memorial for World War 1. During the nazi period there was a monument to remember the 16 lifes taken during the failed Putsch on the 9th of November 1923 (on the ‘Residenzstrasse-side’ of the Feldhernhalle).

Today there’s a bronze plaque with the names of the four policemen who died next to the Feldhernhalle.
