The Türkentor or Turks' Gate, is a the only surviving part of the Türkenkaserne army barracks, built in 1826. The gatehouse was named after the street on which it's located, Türkenstraße. Which in turn named after the Türkengraben channel dug along the Kurfürstenstraße by Turkish prisoners of war during the 18th century wars with the Ottoman Empire. That's a lot of Turks. A bit of history and worth a quick look if in the Museum district. Otherwise, don't go out of the way.

Türkentor is the surviving gatehouse of a 19th-century army barrack located in the Museum District of Munich, just near Brandhorst and Pinakothek der Moderne. The building was restored in 2010 and is attractive to view from the outside if you like architecture. Interestingly, the building now houses American sculptor Walter De Maria's - Large Red Sphere, a 25-tonne highly polished red granite sphere. With light reflection, the sculpture resembles an All Seeing Eye. It rests upon a plinth that is a flat and circular series of three-steps. It is further surrounded by four columns, creating a symmetrical appearance that is neat to see. Overall, Türkentor is a fun minor attraction in Munich. Give it a few minutes of your time in between museum visits you might be making in the area.

Weil es an der Türken-Straße liegt, wurde das Tor der ehemaligen Kaserne, die sich heute neben dem Museum Brandhorst befindet, so benannt. Ein Ort der Kunst, meine Fotos zeigen die eindrucksvolle Arbeit des U.S. Land-Art-Künstlers Walter de Maria, für die der kubische Innenraum wie geschaffen ist, sowie Fotos vom Tor mit Hinweisen.

Обычное здание. Внутри большой красный шар. И все! Особого внимания не заслуживает

Klassische Kunst im modernen Gewand: Die Installation des US-Amerikaners Walter De Maria \Large Red Sphere\ (2002) im einstigen Torbau der Türkenkaserne vereinigt in einem Quader Rundes und Eckiges, Glattes und Rauhes, Helles und Dunkles, Hartes und Weiches, Licht und Schatten, Fläche und Linie, Horizontales und Vertikales und lässt darüberhinaus innen und außen miteinander korrespondieren. Einfach genial !!!!
