The Maximiliansbrücke, spanning the Isar in front of the Maximilianeum, was designed by Zenetti and completed in 1864. It was widened in 1906 by Thiersch. The imposing stone figure of Pallas Athene is by Drexler (1906). The balustrades of the bridge are embellished with handsome Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) ornamentation.
The building up on the eastern bank is called "Maximilianeum" and serves mostly as Parliament of Bavaria.
