Karl Muffat

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Karl (Carl) Muffat (born February 16, 1797 in Sulzbach, † April 23, 1868 in Munich ) was a German architect and town planner .

The Munich city ​​planner Muffat was the brother of the historian Karl August Muffat . The Brunnhaus on the Kalkofeninsel in Munich, planned by Muffat from 1833 and commissioned in 1837, was renamed Muffatwerk after both the architect and his brother Karl August Muffat . From 1893 onwards, a power plant , which has since been closed , was built there and is used culturally today. The Muffathalle , which has been in operation there since the 1990s, is part of the Muffatwerk cultural center .

The most famous building by the master builder, however, was the Maximilians-Getreidehalle built in the middle of the 19th century (named after Maximilian II , who commissioned the building) near the Viktualienmarkt . This modern iron and glass structure was considered a technical masterpiece in its time. The old Schrannenhalle was gradually dismantled in 1914, 1927, 1932 and 1933 and parts of it were rebuilt elsewhere. In the years 2003-2005 the preserved part of the hall was rebuilt in the old place in the city center.
