The Feldherrnhalle was built between 1841 and 1844. It was built at the southern end of Munich's Ludwigstrasse. It is next to the Palais Preysing and east of the Hofgarten. Before it was built, the Gothic "Schwabinger Tor" (gate) was in that place. Friedrich von Gärtner built the Feldherrnhalle&gt; He was requested to do so by King Ludwig I of Bavaria.
