Königsplatz, Munich

The square was intentionally set lower at the centre by nearly one meter to make the three monumental buildings dedicated to the ancient past appear higher.

[3] Two buildings of the Nazi party constructed by Paul Troost next to the temples still exist; in the one north of Brienner Strasse, the Führerbau, where the Munich Agreement was signed in 1938.

After the war, both buildings were used by the Americans as a "Central Collecting Point", where recovered paintings and other artworks taken for the Nazis' unrealized Führermuseum were stored.

[4] Today the north building houses the a school for music and theatre called the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München.

The south building houses the Museum of Casts of Classical Statues and Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte (Central Institute for Art History).
