Why Frauenkirche Munich matters
The Frauenkirche is the church with two onion-shaped domes you see on every Munich postcard. Inside it is surprisingly plain and tall, and you can climb the south tower for a view over the old town. Legend says the Devil left a footprint in the entrance hall, and guides will happily show you the spot.
Talking points
- Its twin domes define the skyline
- A local legend tells of a footprint of the Devil in the entrance
- The tower is open for climbs in season
