The Feldherrnhalle (Field Marshals' Hall) is modeled after the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence. The building – a loggia commissioned in 1841 by King Ludwig I of Bavaria to honor the tradition of his army – is situated on the Odeonsplatz in Munich. Inside the loggia two main figures of Bavarian military history are honored with statues: Jean T'Serclaes de Tilly (1559–1632), the field marshal who commanded the Catholic League's forces in the Thirty Years' War, and Carl Philipp Joseph von Wrede (1767–1838), the field marshal who represented Bavaria at the Congress of Vienna in 1815.
