Münchner Freiheit

It is a popular tourist attraction, especially during winter when one of Munich's largest Christmas markets takes place.

[2][3] The square's Munich U-Bahn station is Münchner Freiheit.

[4][5] A German pop group, Münchener Freiheit, derived their name from the location, and have retained the original spelling.

[6][7][8][9] The square at Leopoldstraße was originally known as Feilitzsch Platz, after a Bavarian interior minister.

In tribute to an anti-Nazi resistance group, Freiheitsaktion Bayern, who had taken over two Munich radio towers in 1945, the name Münchener Freiheit or "Munich freedom" was selected following the war.
