Ludwig Ferdinand Palace
The Palais Ludwig Ferdinand ("Alfons-Palais") is located on Wittelsbacherplatz in Munich . Leo von Klenze designed the building in 1825/26 and lived in it himself for 25 years. From 1878 it belonged to Prince Alfons and Ludwig Ferdinand of Bavaria .
After considerable destruction by the air raids on Munich in World War II, the palace was renovated and rented in 1949 to Siemens & Halske AG (S & H) in Berlin , which initially used it for their vehicle fleet and casino operations. In the same year S & H moved its headquarters to Munich. Today's Siemens AG acquired the building from Ludwig Ferdinand's heirs in 1957 and set up its head office in it.
In the 1950s, 1990s, and again from 2013, Siemens built additional administrative buildings directly adjacent to and structurally connected to the Palais Ludwig Ferdinand. Including 1954–56 the monument Oskar-von-Miller-Ring 18 by the architects Eduard von der Lippe and Hans Maurer and the SiemensForum , 1997–99 at Oskar-von-Miller-Ring 20 by Richard Meier and the new buildings since 2013 by Henning Larsen . The redesign of the Siemens corporate headquarters was implemented according to the concept by Henning Larsen. The historic ensemble of Wittelsbacherplatz was carefully renovated. The new building with a curtain glass facade is deliberately withdrawn in order to leave space for the Palais Ludwig Ferdinand. The building to the west of the palace was also retained in order to preserve the ensemble of the square.
