The Palais Arco-Zinneberg , also called Gampenrieder-Palais , is a classicist city ​​palace in Munich . It is on the west side of Wittelsbacherplatz (Wittelsbacherplatz 1) in the Maxvorstadt district . After severe damage in the Second World War and reconstruction in the early 1960s, it is now used as a commercial and office building. The palace is registered as an architectural monument in the list of architectural monuments in Munich and is therefore a listed building .

history

Antler collection from Arco-Zinneberg in the building around 1900

The building was built in 1824/25 by the contractors Rudolf Röschenauer and Franz Xaver Gampenrieder as a residential house and, after completion, sold to the counts of the Arco-Zinneberg family . The plans for the house were provided by the court architect of King Ludwig I of Bavaria , Leo von Klenze . In 1833 it was given as a wedding present to the royal Bavarian treasurer, Count Maximilian von Arco-Zinneberg , who lived in it with his wife Leopoldine von Waldburg-Zeil and their 13 children. The family stayed there mainly in the winter months. After several renovations during the 19th century, it was used as a military hospital during the First World War . From 1928 onwards, further modifications followed to make the palace usable for the Deutsche Werkstätten .

In the Second World War, the building was so badly damaged by bombs in 1944/45 that the owner family had it laid down to the foundation walls after the end of the war in order to rebuild it in 1959/60. Only the portal area with its balcony was preserved, but the facades were faithfully restored. The modern interior was built according to plans by the architect Roderich Fick . The palace is still owned by the von Arco family today.

description

Central projection of the east facade

The building is a rectangular structure, the three floors of which are closed off by a hipped roof. Its stucco-decorated main facade is the east side facing Wittelsbacherplatz, which is symmetrically clearly structured. It is divided into 13 axes by windows, three of which can be found in the mean risalit . This has - like the corners of the building - corner cuboids in a rustic look and accommodates the rusticated arched portal . The entrance is flanked on both sides by two pillars that support a balcony with a baluster . The leading on this balcony door is in the Palladian style of Mannerism modeled after the Florentine Palazzo Medici Riccardi designed.

The south facade facing Brienner Strasse , like the north facade on Finkenstrasse, has five axes. The rear of the palace borders on an atrium .
