The Englischer Garten (German: [ˈʔɛŋlɪʃɐ ˈɡaʁtn̩], English Garden) is a large public park in the centre of Munich, Bavaria, stretching from the city centre to the northeastern city limits. It was created in 1789 by Sir Benjamin Thompson (1753–1814), later Count Rumford (Reichsgraf von Rumford), for Prince Charles Theodore, Elector of Bavaria. Thompson's successors, Reinhard von Werneck (1757–1842) and Friedrich Ludwig von Sckell (1750–1823), advisers on the project from its beginning, both extended and improved the park. With an area of 3.7 km2 (1.4 sq mi) (370 ha or 910 acres), the Englischer Garten is one of the world's largest urban public parks. The name refers to its English garden form of informal landscape, a style popular in England from the mid-18th century to the early 19th century and particularly associated with Capability Brown.

The Eisbach (German, 'ice brook') is a small, 2-kilometre-long (1.2 mi), man-made river in Munich. It flows through the park known as the Englischer Garten, and is a side arm of the Isar River. A man-made wave has been created on one section, which is popular among river surfers. Swimming in the Eisbach is not technically allowed, but as the rule is not stringently enforced, swimmers are common, especially on warm summer days. However, swimming in the cold, fast stream is dangerous: Between 2007 and 2017 alone, eight people drowned in the Eisbach.

The Luitpold-Gymnasium is a secondary school in Munich, Germany. It was established by Prince Luitpold of Bavaria in 1891 as "Luitpold-Kreisrealschule" to serve the eastern part of the city and its suburbs. It stood in the Alexandrastrasse opposite the National Museum. The building was almost completely destroyed by incendiary bombing in 1944, leaving only parts of the facade and the gymnasium (sports hall). The school shared the facilities of the Wilhelmsgymnasium until 1958 when it was able to move into a new building on Seeaustraße 1. The school introduced the Kollegstufe system in 1975 and became co-educational in 1983.

The work has been well received by the press and is popular with the public.

St. Sylvester is a Catholic church and parish in Schwabing, now part of Munich, in the German state (Bundesland) of Bavaria. It began with a village church in the 14th century, first documented in 1315, and dedicated to John the Baptist. A Gothic church was remodelled in Baroque style in the 17th century, and received furnishings such as sculpture attributed to Ignaz Günther or his school. The parish was split and renamed, and the part with one of the oldest churches in Munich became a parish dedicated to Pope Silvester I in 1921. The church was expanded in 1925/26 by a new part connected to the old church. The new church features an altar painting depicting the patron saint kneeling in prayer for Schwabing, several other altars, and ceiling paintings in Casein technique including the vision of Constantine the Great, the emperor who granted free religion to the Christians while St. Sylvester was pope. The church is located in the center of the early village, near the Englischer Garten.

Brunnthaler Quellbach (also: Quellenbach) is a creek of Munich, Bavaria, Germany. Until the end of the 19th century, the Munich river Brunnbach had its source near Bad Brunnthal in the lower Bogenhausen district and, as today, was a tributary of the Isar at St. Emmeran. At the time the Herzogpark was covered with buildings the Brunnbach was filled up north of the street Montgelaßstraße. The former upper course of the Brunnbach in the Maximiliansanlagen park is now a river of its own and is called Brunnthaler Quellbach or Quellenbach. The Brunnthaler Quellbach flows along the street Steinbacherstraße into the small pond Steinbacher Teich, from there a subterranean drainage south of the bridge Max-Joseph-Brücke into the Isar exists.
