square, interesting place, draw only border
Stachus is a large square in the center of Munich and named officially Karlsplatz in 1797 after the unpopular Karl Theodor, Elector of Bavaria. So Munich natives seldom use that name, calling the square instead Stachus, after the pub "Beim Stachus", once owned by Eustachius Föderl, that was located there until construction work for Karlsplatz began. Most important buildings dominating the square are the Karlstor, a gate of the demolished medieval fortification, the rondell before the gate and the Justizpalast (Palace of Justice).
