Webcams in Munich: Marienplatz, Isar and more in live action

Was auf den Webcams zu sehen ist

Marienplatz Webcam: These are the highlights on view

From the Old Town Hall, the webcam looks westwards across Marienplatz. On Munich’s central square in the Old Town, you can see the Marian Column. To the right of it stands the New Town Hall with its striking façade. Behind it, you can make out the two towers of the Cathedral of Our Lady, better known as the Frauenkirche. When panning to the left, the webcam shows the parish church of St Peter. Its tower is known as the ‘Alter Peter’ and is one of the Old Town’s most famous vantage points.

Olympic Park Webcam: These highlights can be seen

At over 291 metres high, the Olympic Tower is Munich’s tallest building. From there, the webcam pans from right to left, first over the Olympic Stadium, the Olympic Hall and the Olympic Swimming Hall with its distinctive tent-roof structure. The view then continues southwards over the Olympic Lake and the Olympic Hill. In good weather, the Alps are clearly visible in the background.  At around 9.15 pm, the webcam makes its final pan. This is then replayed until sunrise.

Webcam at the Main Station: These are the highlights

The webcam at the BR high-rise on Arnulfstraße shows the area around Munich’s Main Station. As the camera pans from right to left, you can see the S-Bahn main line in the foreground. Behind it, to the south, the Theresienwiese catches the eye – the venue for the Oktoberfest and other events, amongst other things.

If you look closely, you can also make out the Bavaria statue and the Hall of Fame from the side, at the far right of the Theresienwiese, amongst the trees. Right next to it stands St Paul’s Church. On a clear day, the Alps can be seen in the background. Further to the left is the expansive roof structure of the main railway station. Finally, on the far left, the camera offers a view of the Old Town with the Frauenkirche before panning back.

Isar Webcam

Terra-HD’s Isar webcam is mounted on the tower of the Deutsches Museum. Facing south-west, the camera provides live images of the water level of the Isar. In the foreground is the Cornelius Bridge with the Ludwig II Monument, followed by the Reichenbach Bridge. On the left bank (the eastern bank of the Isar), you can see the Isar Steps and the Frühlingsanlagen, which are particularly popular with Munich residents in fine weather. When visibility is good, the Alps are also visible on the horizon in the left-hand half of the image. On the right-hand side of the image are the two striking towers of St Maximilian’s Church.
