Designed and built by Leo von Klenze, the obelisk on Karolinenplatz was originally intended to be sited on Odeonsplatz. Yet in 1833 it became clear to Crown Prince Ludwig that Karolinenplatz needed a strong focal point, and the 29m-high obelisk fitted the bill perfectly. The statue - a memorial to over 20,000 Bavarian soldiers who died during Napoleon's Russian campaign - contains a number of metal plates made from melted down Bavarian cannons.
