Bogenhausen

Friedensengel and the Isar terraces

Bogenhausen lies east of the Isar in the north-east. The gilded Friedensengel, the Prinzregententheater and the old village centre are the places to know.

The Friedensengel is a gilded monument above the Isar at Prinzregentenstraße. A terrace beneath it looks west over the river towards the old town.

The Prinzregententheater, from 1901, is modelled on the Bayreuth Festspielhaus and used for concerts and opera. St. Georg Bogenhausen is a rococo parish church by Johann Michael Fischer in the old village centre.
