The house is located in the Maria Einsiedel district of Thalkirchen at the foot of the Isar slope at the triangle of the Kreppeberg street leading down from Wolfratshauser Straße ( B 11 ), Maria-Einsiedelstraße coming from the center of Thalkirchen and Benediktbeuerer Straße coming from the central area .

history

The Electoral Councilor Adrian Kray built in 1687 next to the existing since the 14th century Schadeneckmühle an estate in Thalkirchen , which was then well ahead of Munich was.

In 1724 Cosmas Damian Asam acquired the country estate and converted it into a spacious artist's residence in its current form. He added heights to the building and frescoed the new facade in 1729/30 , as were typical for Munich in the past. At the same time, he had a geometric baroque palace garden laid out on the south side. He paid the costs with the fee he had received for his fresco work in the Swiss monastery of Einsiedel . Cosmas Damian Asam therefore named his property after the Swiss pilgrimage site Asamisch Maria Einsiedel Dall (Asamsches Maria-Einsiedel-Tal). He built a chapel opposite the Schlössl, which was completed in 1730. It was demolished after secularization in 1804.

Asam's death in 1739 put an end to construction. In the period that followed, the property changed hands several times. In 1797, Bishop Johann Casimir Häffelin owned both Maria Einsiedel and the farmer on the mountain above the edge of the slope. In 1838 an extension with an excursion restaurant was built on the east side. In the 1840s, the Ludwig Maximilians University became the owner. In 1923–1927 the facades were again frescoed. The Asam-Schlössl burned out during World War II . In 1947 the house was secured by an emergency roof. In 1957 the architect and conservationist Erwin Schleich acquired the property from the state capital Munich. In 1981/82 the frescoes were reconstructed by Karl Manninger based on vedute in the Asam version .

In 1992 the Augustiner Bräu acquired the Asam-Schlössl. Both the frescoes on the facades and in the ballroom, which is located on the second floor of the palace, were restored by the Augsburg painter Hermenegild Peiker. Since the summer of 1993, the Asam-Schlössl has again housed an inn, which was run by the Munich hostess Birgit Netzle until the end of 2019.

Of the former outbuildings of the country estate, only the Kreppeberg 2 house, which is also listed, has been preserved.
