context_page_description: Kurfürstenplatz is a square in the Munich district of Schwabing and is located about two and a half kilometres north of the city centre. It is the intersection of several streets and tram lines and was built in 1915 and named after the Elector Maximilian II. Emanuel, born in Munich in 1662.
context_section_description: Originally, the Burgfriedenssäule, which was probably erected in 1521, stood south of todays square and stands today on Elisabethplatz.
  Although no historically listed building is located directly on Kurfürstenplatz, it is characterised by two listed buildings: The five-storey monumental corner apartment building at Belgradstraße 1/Hohenzollernstraße 86, which is located on the north side and on the ground floor of which the "Neuhauser" of the Hacker-Pschorr Brewery is located, was built in 1898 by Xaver Heininger in the forms of the German Renaissance with oriels, diaphragm gables and polygonal corner oriel with a bell roof and is a historically listed building. South of todays Kurfürstenplatz, the architect Paul Breitsameter built the neo-baroque apartment building at Nordendstraße 64 in 1909, a historically listed building, with two oriel towers at the corners and stucco decoration on the gable.
  On 15 August 1900, the last horse-drawn tram left here travel along Hohenzollernstraße to Ludwigstraße Even before the First World War, the tram line from Kurfürstenplatz to Hohenzollernstraße and Tengstraße to Augustenstraße was laid out, therefore creating todays square. Therefore, in Oscar Brunn's (1853-1919) plan of Munich from 1914, only the intersection of Kurfürstenstraße and Belgradstraße to Hohenzollernstraße is shown. In 1915, the square was redesigned after Kurfürst Maximilian II. Emanuel. Already in the 1930s, the famous dance bar "Bohème-Diele" was located on the square, which was still a meeting place for artists for decades, later under the name "La Bohème".
  At the time of National Socialism, the graduate engineer Hans Atzenbeck was commissioned to plan and execute a uniform square design through a closed development. Starting in 1938, the blocks of flats with 37 2½- to 3½-room flats, a savings bank branch, a police detachment with affiliated shops and a coffee house were built. After the Second World War, house number 5 was the location of the Municipal Police Office North of the then Munich City Police for a long time.
