Munich is the state capital and the most populous city in the Free State of Bavaria. Munich’s population reached 100,000 in 1852, 250,000 in the 1880s, and 500,000 by 1901. This growth led to an increase in tax revenue, as well as a greater need for urban planning. One of the grand avenues laid out in the 19th century leads to Königsplatz—a recreation of the Acropolis of Athens. Today, this area serves as the heart of Munich’s gallery and museum district.
