Das Kartoffelmuseum (The Potato Museum) in Munich is one of three potato museums in Germany and is concentrated on the art historical aspects of the potato. It was opened in 1996 by the Otto Eckart Foundation. Otto Eckart was owner of the Pfanni food manufacturer until its sale to Unilever and is the son of the company founder Werner Eckart. In addition to his work as a member of the board of trustees, he served as the Honorary Consul of the Republic of Guatemala.The museum is based on a comprehensive collection of paintings (oil paintings, watercolors, engravings, drawings, lithographs, prints, naive glass paintings, modern graphics). In addition to the exhibition, the museum also includes a specialist library for scientific research.

Orleansplatz
Orleansplatz

The semi-circular Orleansplatz is located in the Munich district of Haidhausen opposite the Ostbahnhof, where the S-Bahn, U-Bahn line 5 and various bus lines stop. There is also a stop for tram line 19 on Orleansplatz.The front of Orleansplatz is marked by an elongated fountain which runs parallel to Orleansstraße. The square is lined with trees and benches. This is a place for regular festivals and markets - such as the original Hamburger Fisch Markt. Several Social Service Offices are located at Orleansplatz 11 and immediately next to the square is a Registration Office of the district administration department (Orleansstraße 50). In addition, food markets, a department store, fast food restaurants etc. are located around Orleansplatz. Starting from Orleansplatz, three streets like open up like "rays" into the so-called French Quarter, which owes its name to the fact that, after the German victory in the Franco-Prussian War (1870/1871), the city planners decided in 1872 to lay out the streets and squares here according to the French pattern and to have the streets run into squares in a star shape. In addition, names were chosen for places where German armies won battles in the Franco-Prussian War - such as the Battle of Orléans (Département Loiret).Orleansplatz was once the site of the Glaspalastbrunnen (glass palace fountain), designed by August von Voit for the Glaspalast in 1853. It was moved to Orleansplatz at the end of the 19th century. When, however, the reconstruction of the Ostbahnhof was due, the fountain was moved to Weißenburger Platz and a new, elongated fountain was built.

Weißenburger Platz
Weißenburger Platz

Weißenburger Platz is a square in Munich's Franzosenviertel (French Quarters) in the Haidhausen district. In the middle of the concentrically arranged square is the Glaspalast-Brunnen (glass palace fountain), designed by August von Voit in 1853. This was initially located in the Glaspalast in the Alter Botanischer Garten - hence the name. At the end of the 19th century the fountain was moved to Orleansplatz. When the Ostbahnhof (East Train Station) there was rebuilt, the Glaspalast-Brunnen had to make room and was moved to the nearby Weißenburger Platz. After dusk the fountains water feature is illuminated.Around the Glaspalast-Brunnen there are flowerbeds, which are planted several times a year. This circular green space is framed by a row of trees, under which benches are placed, and a ring-shaped street, which is partly a pedestrian zone. Five streets run towards Weißenburger Platz in the shape of a star: Metzstraße and Weißenburger Straße on both sides, and Lothringer Straße, where the municipal art gallery Lothringer13 is located near the square. In the buildings surrounding Weißenburger Platz there are various shops, restaurants, a pharmacy and a medical centre.Since 1976, Weißenburger Platz has hosted a Christmas market that has grown steadily over the years. Nowadays, the Weißenburger Platz is being overbuilt with over 60 stands for the Christmas market, which takes place annually from the end of November until Christmas.The name and design of the French Quarter have a historical background: When this quarter was created in 1872 after the German victory in the Franco-Prussian War (1870/1871), the planners decided to create squares and streets according to the French model. Therefore, the streets run towards the squares in a star shape. At the same time, they got their names from places where German armies won battles during the Franco-Prussian War. The Battle of Weissenburg gave its name to this square. Here the French army suffered a defeat in 1870. Today the small town in Alsace is no longer called Weißenburg but Wissembourg.
