Palais Degenfeld
The Palais Degenfeld was built in 1810 by the royal building officer Karl von Fischer in Munich's Maximilians suburb between Königplatz and Karolinenplatz . Models for the building were the buildings by Andrea Palladio , such as the Villa Trissino in Cricoli.
In the Architecture Museum of the Technical University of Munich is received maneuvered pen drawings on construction paper. The main motif of the designs was a loggia between square corner towers, which could also be used as a ballroom. A south-facing sala terrena led from inside into the park. The plans are labeled in Italian. The architect proudly refers to the new district he has shaped: “Villa da me fabricata nell 'borgo nuovo di Monaco habitata dall' Signore Conte Degenfeld, ministro di granduca di Baaden.” A spiral staircase leads to the bedrooms, which are spread over two floors, and the dining room next to the salon on the upper floor with the kitchen in the basement. The "facade of the residential building to be built by His Excellency Baron von Asbeck on Königstrasse", ie today's Brienner Strasse, "Duplicate, approved by Munich June 8, 1810, Royal Local Building Commission, Stubenrauch."
The elevation of the facade and the floor plan of the neighboring house are in the building police file ("Demolition Act") of the adjacent Palais Lotzbeck , also built by Carl von Fischer , in the Munich City Archives, held by the local building commission under number 4887. The specified builder Franz Wilhelm Freiherr von Asbeck is the finance president , as busy as a private landowner with the development of the site.
The facade design is marked on the lower left with “Carl von Fischer, Professor and Building Commissioner as a neighbor and architect of this building.” The plan of the first floor bears the same label.
use
The extraordinary Württemberg ambassador at the Munich court , the authorized minister and chamberlain, Count Ferdinand Christoph von Degenfeld-Schonburg , took up residence . From 1844 to 1868 he was the ambassador of a friendly monarchy, maintained good relations with the representatives of the other small German states on behalf of the Grand Duke of Baden and acted as the Württemberg State Councilor and Chamberlain.
The Palais Degenfeld was rebuilt in 1849/50 by Jean Baptiste Métivier . House and land passed into state ownership. In 1870 the princes Erwein , Franz and Philipp von der Leyen had the right to live here. They were on the "list of apartments of the diplomatic corps, the nobility qualified to court, the strangers presented at the royal court and those gentlemen who have access to the court".
The building opposite the Palais Barlow later housed the papal nunciature . The papal nuncio Alberto Vassallo di Torregrossa left the city of Munich on October 23, 1936 after he had been relocated to the Palais Seyssel d'Aix in the spring of 1934 . The National Socialist German Workers' Party was able to take over another old Munich aristocratic palace.
The house was destroyed and demolished in 1944 during World War II. The property remained undeveloped. After the war, the property went to the state of Bavaria.
When planning the NS Documentation Center in 2003, the city council dealt with the green space on which the Degenfeld Palace once stood. “In 1989/90 this area was also planned for possible use as a museum area on the initiative of the Free State. The result of this ideas competition was noted by the general assembly on October 2, 1991. The planning department was commissioned to carry out the development plan procedure. In the end, however, the project was not pursued any further. "
