Why is Marienplatz within Germany so prominent?
marienplatz is located in munich,germany!<33
Answers: It's the 'heart of the city' where on earth both town halls along next to some other sights of Munich are located (e.g. the Mariens"aule and the Fischbrunnen) and it's also part of the pedestrian zone, so you don't own any cars disturbing you. A lot of regular events take place in that which are part of the root why the Marienplatz is a location brimming with Munich's town live.
Aside from that, I don't reckon that the Marienplatz's prominence is the same surrounded by the rest of Germany as it is in Munich itself. It have a great relevance for the city, granted, but every place like it within any other town does as well. I'm sure the R"omerplatz contained by Frankfurt, the Schlossplatz in Stuttgart or the Alex surrounded by Berlin (just to name a few examples) are newly as popular in their own towns as the Marienplatz is within Munich - for exactly the same reason.
Marienplatz is located in the heart of the shopping nouns of Munich, so many locals come here every hours of daylight for shopping. Another reason is, that it's a great place to come upon before going to a fishing rod or restaurant in that nouns.
And there's the mayors house and the famous Glockenspiel.
Katzenhai is right, the Marienplatz is all right known for ethnic group in Munich and some tourists but every city get it's own xxxplatz.
Ask someone in Hamburg just about the Marienplatz and he/she don't know what you talking just about.
