The Feldherrnhalle (also written Feldherrenhalle, "Hall of the Field Lords") is a building in Munich, Germany. It was built between 1841 and 1844 by Friedrich von Gärtner at the behest of King Ludwig I of Bavaria after the example of the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence. The Feldherrnhalle was a symbol of the honours of the Bavarian Army, at the southern end of Munich's Prachtstraße (or Ludwigsstraße).
On the morning of 9 November 1923 the Feldherrnhalle was the scene of an armed confrontation between the Bavarian State Police and an armed mob; this was one of the events of the Beer Hall Putsch. Four police officers, one passerby, and fifteen putschists were killed in the incident.
