The Bayerischer Hof on Promenadeplatz in the north-western old town of Munich is a grand hotel that is still home to prominent guests and state guests in Munich.
The hotel is part of the alliance The Leading Hotels of the World .
History and architecture
The hotel was built in 1841 on behalf of Joseph Anton von Maffei right next to his own palace ( Maffei Palais ) based on plans by Friedrich von Gärtner . It initially had around 100 rooms and two halls. The better-known guests included Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary and Sigmund Freud .
In 1897 the hotel was purchased for 2,850,000 gold marks by Hermann Volkhardt , who had the facade redesigned in the style of historicism . Artists such as Enrico Caruso were performing in the large ballroom at this time . During the Second World War , the building suffered from the RAF air raid on 24/25. Heavy damage in April 1944, but was rebuilt after the war.
In 1951 the war-damaged Maffei Palais , a magnificent baroque building built by Enrico Zuccalli and Martin Gunetzrhainer around 1685 , was demolished for an extension of the hotel. In 1969 the Palais Montgelas to the east became part of the hotel.
Palais Montgelas
In 1969, the neighboring building, Palais Montgelas, on the corner of Promenadeplatz and Kardinal-Faulhaber-Strasse was acquired and expanded into a hotel by Erwin Schleich .
The palace was built between 1811 and 1813 by Emanuel Herigoyen for Count Maximilian von Montgelas in a classicist style and furnished by Jean Baptiste Métivier . Previously, the baroque Perusa Palais, acquired in 1803, and the adjoining salt barn, built in 1425 to the east, stood here. Above the rusticated ground floor there are two upper floors, which are closed off by wide beams with a frieze in the Empire style . The third floor, which changed the proportions, was not added until 1865. The six-axis central risalit is structured by pilasters . The left of the two arched portals on Promenadeplatz comes from the earlier entrance to the Perusa Palais. Among other things , the royal hall , the Montgelas salon and the ministerial room have been preserved from the interior of Métivier .
After Montgelas was dismissed as minister, the palace was the official building of the Bavarian State Ministry of Foreign Affairs from 1817 to 1933 (until 1918: State Ministry of the Royal House and Foreign Affairs) and from 1933 to 1945 the first official seat of the Bavarian State Chancellery . The Palais Montgelas was already a place for important meetings. The founding documents for the Munich Soviet Republic were signed in the royal hall of the palace in 1918 . On March 29, 1924, the future Pope Pius XII signed. the Bavarian Concordat in the Palais .
