The building at Kardinal-Faulhaber-Strasse 1 is a former bank building in Munich . It was around the turn of the 19th / 20th century. It was built in the 16th century and is registered as a monument in the Bavarian list of monuments.
location
The building is located in Munich's old town south of the Salvatorkirche . On Kardinal-Faulhaber-Strasse, it takes up a whole block between Salvatorstrasse and Prannerstrasse.
history
The Königliche Filialbank, the Munich branch of the Königlich Bayerische Bank , acquired three properties on the corner of Kardinal-Faulhaber-Strasse and Prannerstrasse in 1892 and had the palaces on them demolished. In 1893/94 a uniform building was built over the three plots according to the plans of the architect Albert Schmidt , who was also the owner of the construction company.
In 1903/04 the bank also bought the land adjoining the building to the north up to Salvatorstrasse. An extension was built there in 1907/08, also according to plans by Albert Schmidt and his construction company, which was even larger than the original building. While the older building was accessed diagonally from the southeast corner, the main entrance was now relocated to a central projection, which was located at the joint between the two buildings.
The building remained the seat of the Königliche Filialbank (from 1918 Bayerische Staatsbank) until it merged with Bayerische Vereinsbank in 1971, which in turn merged with Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechselbank to form HypoVereinsbank in 1998 .
From 2000 to 2005, at the instigation of the spokesman for the board, Albrecht Schmidt, the core was gutted and the entire building complex was renovated. After the HypoVereinsbank ( HVB Forum ) was used, it was used as a hotel ( The Lovelace ) and event venue as an interim use .
description
Three high floors rise above a basement . The approximately 62 m façade on Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße is structured by a three-axis central projection with a triangular gable , with round pavilions at the street corners . The ground floor has a rusticated facade . The facades on the three streets end on both sides in uniaxial rustica pilaster strips , on which the heraldic cartouches protrude over the beams and parapets that crown the facade on the street fronts.
On the central risalit and the corner pavilions, the two upper floors are combined in a colossal order by four Corinthian half-columns each . Above the windows on the first floor there are alternating triangular and segmented gables, the windows on the second floor have no gables.
The building sculpture was made by the sculptor Heinrich Waderé . In the tympanum of the central risalit, a group of reliefs depicts the Bavaria , who distribute the laurel wreaths to two people who represent trade and commerce. There are also allegorical figures on the parapet of the round pavilions: trade and industry above the southeast pavilion, agriculture and trade above the northeast pavilion.
