context_page_description: The Pasinger Marienplatz is the central square of the formerly independent city of Pasing. Pasing has been a district of Munich since 1938. In order to distinguish the square from the Munich Marienplatz, it bares the name Pasinger Marienplatz ever since.
context_section_description: The redesign of the Pasinger Marienplatz was accepted differently. Often a positive feature is the enormous decline of former traffic loads and the idea of creating a pedestrian zone. Critics complain however, that the place is not a welcome meeting place due to the lack of greenery (flowers or trees) and the lack of seating, making it feel drab and empty. Even the subsequently erected metal chairs could possibly provide a temporary solution. Likewise, the pattern of the pavement stones can only be seen from an aerial perspective and appear unstructured from the ground. In addition, some critics say that it lacks an enclosure around the base of the Mariensäule, so that prayers could be spoken in a separate area, or the repeated damage to the lights on the base by users of the road could be prevented.
