The Maximilian II barracks or Max II barracks was a military property completed in 1860 for the Bavarian army in the form of a defensive barracks based on the model of the Vienna arsenal in Munich .

history

The facility named after Maximilian II was the largest barracks ever built in Munich and initially housed the two field artillery regiments of the 1st Field Artillery Brigade and the 1st Training Department of the Bavarian Army ; also from September 1877 the Royal Bavarian Equitation Institute (founded in 1868), the best-known director of which was Max Emanuel in Bavaria (1888-1893). The Military Riding Institute was renamed the Military Riding School in 1910. At the beginning of the war in 1914, the riding school was retained in reduced strength and dissolved in 1919. Between the world wars there was also the Bavarian State Policehoused in the Max II barracks. The south-western and north-eastern parts were built in the years 1860 to 1864, the transverse structures followed from 1874 to 1877.

Matthias Berger designed the symmetrically laid out barracks with a 600 meter long building front . In addition, the designs for the facade came from the pen of Eduard Riedel .

The barracks were destroyed in World War II. Today, the streets of the Max II area, which is built with residential and commercial facilities, and a memorial for the artillery units stationed in Hilblestrasse are still reminiscent of the former barracks.
