Pilgramsheim residence
The Pilgramsheim residence , also known as Pilgramsheim , later Pilgersheim Castle, was a residence in what is now Munich in Bavaria. The most laid down by leading property street was named later pilgrims Straße.
location
The aristocratic seat and the later factory were located south of the city of Munich in what is now the 18th district of Untergiesing-Harlaching on a high terrace between the Isar in the west and Auer Mühlbach in the east, between today's railway line in the north and the B2R in the south, along today's Pilgersheimer Strasse.
description
The three-winged, probably three-story mansion consisted of a smaller middle section with a round, globe-like structure for a camera obscura and two identical, apparently larger modern wings. The building had crenellated additions , at least in the central part . Each side wing had a balcony on a small extension. Access to the building was via a wooden flight of stairs into the great hall, which also had an iron, partly gilded balcony. A wide colonnaded corridor led from the great hall into the great garden.
Ornamental gardens with fruit trees lay on both sides of the garden avenue. It ended at a small artificial waterfall or fountain. The garden also included meadows with peach and apricot trees as well as vines , two gloriette , an English bath, a greenhouse and glass house and the fountain house along with five fountains . The entire garden was decorated with figures. The property also included a “Dutch style” farm yard with apartments, stables , kitchen and wash house, as well as a coach house . The income is said to have amounted to 1200 florins.
history
The Bavarian court banker and councilor of commerce, Franz Anton von Pilgram , bought land belonging to her lordship in Falkenau near the Kühbächl from Josepha von Kern, née von Pitzl auf Eberstall and widow of Lieutenant Anton Josef von Kern. After her husband's death, she inherited the Falkenau's over-indebted property and sold parts against the opposition of her creditors .
Franz Anton had been elevated to imperial nobility on January 30, 1778 by the Palatinate Sulzbacher , elector of Bavaria, Karl Theodor , who had been proclaimed a month earlier, and to baron status on April 16, 1790 . He owned a town house , the Pilgram'sche Haus, Rosenstrasse 11, in Munich. Already in free float "on the way to Harlaching " he acquired another piece of land around 1760, at that time located far outside the city limits, on which he had a small castle with an extensive garden area built. He applied because he owned a "next Obergiesing near the Isar, which honors the district and which has grown to be good for the building authorities, building and garden to an extent of 5-6 days of work " and "which property he would like to leave his heirs as an honorable memory" to raise the property, which is still planned to be expanded, to the status of an " aristocratic seat of Pilgramsheim". The Bavarian Elector Karl Theodor granted the application by decree of November 5, 1784 and named it under the name Pilgramsheim an “aristocratic seat with all rights”. Since this increase in ownership probably did not go through the responsible authorities, the Baroness von Kern raised an objection , since she reduced the rights of her remaining Falkenau property. On the instructions of the elector, Pilgram should come to an agreement with the baroness. Only two years later, after the Falkenau property had been sold to Maria Josepha von Toerring-Seefeld , the former mistress of the Elector, an agreement was reached in August 1786.
The banker had to pay an annual aversum in return . In addition, the countess demanded from the elector that the Falkenau property should be upgraded as Hofmark . In January 1796, Franz Anton von Pilgram sold his “Noble Seat Pilgramsheim” to Baron Joseph Ferdinand Leopold von Andrian-Werburg .
The residence now became a plaything for creating money. In March 1798, the imperial baron had the property played in the 14th Frankfurt city lottery as a big win for 40,000 florins , as he announced several times according to the electoral most graciously privileged Münchner Wochen = or Anzeigsblat . The stake was 2 fl. 30 kr per lot. The winner of the lottery was probably the Electorate Chamberlain Franz von Horben
At the beginning of 1802 the property was sold to the State Councilor Joseph von Hazzi . With the legal interpretation that the elector Carl Theodor, who had died in the meantime, would not have had the right to award the title of residence and exceeded his powers as sovereign, von Hazzi waived the further recognition of Pilgramsheim as a noble residence. Investigations into this continued until 1804 and ended with the decision to withdraw the rights as a residence and to return the property to Hofmark Falkenau . In March 1807, the secret judicial trainee von Effner acquired the former residence.
At the beginning of 1808 , Ignaz Mayer , who came from a Jewish merchant family in Mannheim , bought the property and built a leather factory there, the "Mayer'sche military leather factory" (also known as the Giesinger leather factory).
16 years later, the leather factory came into the possession of the von Eichthal family . She continued to develop this into one of the most modern of its kind in Germany. In 1836 the company had the first leather splitting machine on the European mainland. In the same year, the company, which was originally founded as a “sole and leather factory”, started manufacturing “lacquered leather”, an absolute novelty. A year later the factory was owned by the court banker and baron Simon von Eichthal , who had it gradually expanded. From 1854, the "Untergiesinger factory" also produced fine lacquered leather for the interior of carriages, and later for cars and shoes.
The factory and the former property were demolished in 1930. Until 1932 a housing estate of the Münchner Siedlungsbau GmbH was built on the site.
