Prinzregentenstraße (Munich)
Prinzregentenstraße The Prinzregentenstraße (, '' Prince-Regent Street'') in Munich is one of four royal avenues and runs parallel to Maximilianstraße and begins at '' Prinz-Carl-Palais'', in the northeastern part of the Old Town. The avenue was constructed from 1891 onwards as a prime address for the middle class during the reign of Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria and is named in his honour. The square in the eastern part of the street is named ''Prinzregentenplatz''. Architecture In contrast to Ludwigstraße, the big boulevard of his father Ludwig I and to Maximilianstraße, the boulevard of his brother Maximilian II, Prinzregentenstraße was not planned as an administrative centre with a specially developed style; it was projected as a noble middle-class avenue. Thereby it reflects not only middle-class ideals, but was an expression of the good relation between the citizens, above all of the bourgeoisie and the educated classes, and the house of Wittelsbach.

Isar
The Isar () is a river in Austria and in Bavaria, Germany. Its source is in the Karwendel mountain range of the Alps. The Isar river enters Germany near Mittenwald and flows through Krün, Wallgau, Bad Tölz, Munich, and Landshut before reaching the Danube near Deggendorf. With 295 km length, it is among the longest rivers in Bavaria. It is Germany's second most important tributary of the Danube. Etymology One theory is that the name ''Isar'' stems from ''*es'' or ''*is'' in the Indo-European languages, meaning "flowing water", and later turned into a word with a meaning narrowed to frozen water (hence English ''ice'', ) in Proto-Germanic. The name itself is mentioned for the first time in 763 as ''Isura''. Related names include: *Eisack / Isarco (Italy) *Ésera (Spain) *Isar, Spain, Isar (Spanish town, in the province of Burgos) *Foglia, Isauro (Italy) *Isère (river), Isère (France) *Isel (river), Isel (Austria) *IJssel (Netherlands; known to Romans as ''Isala'') *IJzer, ...

Maximilianeum München (Munich)
The Maximilianeum, a palatial building in Munich, was built as the home of a gifted students' foundation but since 1949 has housed the Bavarian State Parliament. History The Maximilianeum was initially an educational foundation set up by King Maximilian II of Bavaria in 1852 to prepare gifted students for the civil service. Construction of the building was the initiative of King Maximilian II in 1857, with Friedrich Bürklein the lead architect. The Maximilianeum sits grandly and as a focal point on the bank of the Isar River above Maximilian Bridge at the eastern end of Maximilianstrasse, a royal avenue dotted with Neo-Gothic palaces influenced by the English Perpendicular style.
