History and use

The Hermansbau in Memmingen

The four-wing complex with garden house and Junkerhof was completed in 1766. Baron Benedict von Herman , who mostly lived in Venice as a typical Swabian merchant - he renounced all the comforts available at that time in his Italian apartment - had the representative building commissioned for his Memmingen relatives. Benedict von Herman was the richest Swabian at the time and owned the largest German company in Venice . The building is one of four baroque palaces in Memmingen. Top-class guests once stayed there, including King Ludwig I , Emperor Franz I and Tsar Alexander . The building is still completely privately owned. Today the Hermansbau is mainly used by the city as a city museum (including the Heiss Baroque gallery and the Freudenthal / Altvater local history museum). The other part is inhabited by the von Wachter family.
