Friedensengel
Many museums can be found along the avenue, such as the "Bayerisches Nationalmuseum" (Bavarian National Museum, by Gabriel von Seidl 1894-1900), the "Schackgalerie" (by Max Littmann, 1907) and the "Villa Stuck" (1898) of Franz von Stuck which is already situated on the eastern side of the Isar river. The avenue crosses the river and circles the "Friedensengel" (Angel of Peace), a monument commemorating the 25 years of peace following the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. In 1891 the steel bridge was built as part of the Prinzregentenstraße after a draft of the architect Friedrich von Thiersch, which was financed by the Prince Regent and named after him. It was decorated by four stone sculptures which symbolized Bavaria, Swabia, Franconia and the Palatinate.
