The Königsplatz, on the left stands the Führer House, the location of Hitler’s offices and those of his staff in Munich. To the right of the Führer House and on either side of Brienner Strasse (behind the central lamp-post) stand the Ehrentempeln, (Temples of Honour). The large building observed in the background between the Ehrentempeln is the Brown House. These imposing buildings around the Königsplatz were designed by Prof Paul Ludwig Troost (1878-1934). Troost was Hitler’s favourite German architect, following the death of Troost in 1934, this honour passed to Albert Speer.
