Palais Moy
The Palais Moy is a Munich aristocratic palace on Odeonsplatz , on the corner of Brienner Straße, dating from the 20s of the 19th century.
prehistory
After Bavaria had become a kingdom and the associated increase in the population of the royal city of Munich , plans were made to expand urban development with new suburbs to the north and west of Schwabinger Tor from 1812 .
Leo von Klenze , who won the building competition of Crown Prince Ludwig for the Glyptothek in 1815 and came to Munich in 1816, worked out a general plan for the complex in front of Schwabinger Tor, which was approved by the city building commission in 1817. The outer Schwabinger Tor and the bastions were demolished, the houses on the ramparts demolished and the Stadtgrabenbach vaulted. Today's Odeonsplatz - at that time still called Fürstenplatz - was leveled and two boulevards were laid out, Ludwigstraße to the north towards Ingolstadt and Freising and Brienner Straße to the west. Klenze's concept envisaged a uniform development of the square and the two streets with closed building fronts.
Building history
On the site of the Munich Police Prefect Marcus von Stetten's property to the side of the Theatinerkirche , Klenze planned a broad building that would adjoin the northern church tower and extend to Brienner Strasse. The ministry issued specific regulations for the building in the immediate vicinity of the Theatine Church, so that no open windows were allowed to be attached to the rear, only "barred lights". In addition, its facade had to be designed symmetrically to the former Theatine monastery adjoining the church to the south and was only allowed to reach up to the capitals of the “large pilaster strips” of the church tower, so that the church was framed by identical wings in the north and south. Because of this requirement, the front of the building was lower than the other houses in the vicinity of Odeonsplatz. The western wing on Brienner Straße, on the other hand, was given a mezzanine floor and thus had the same height as the neighboring buildings. The construction work took place in the years 1824/25.
Ownership history
The first owner of the representative property was the jeweler Franz Xaver Trautmann . In 1829 the elongated building was divided and each half was given its own house number (no. 23 and 24). Trautmann kept the seven-axle section adjacent to the church for himself until 1833. After that, it underwent frequent changes of ownership.
Trautmann sold the northern section of the building on the corner of Brienner Strasse in 1830 to the wealthy face-and-silk dyer Anton Gsellhofer from Cham , who in the same year sold the house to Count Aloys von Arco-Stepperg (called Louis, 1808-1891) . The young count had just married Irene Margravine von Pallavicini (1811–1877) and needed a prestigious city palace in Munich, which he, with the financial support of his wealthy mother Maria Leopoldine , widowed Electress of Bavaria, born Archduchess of Austria-Este , in the prominent place Location on Odeonsplatz. Count Arco-Stepperg's marriage remained childless and was separated in 1851. After the death of his wife in 1877, he married his long-time partner, the Munich actress and dancer Pauline Oswald (1851–1902), and legitimized their daughter Sophie (1868–1952), who was born in 1868 . In 1890 she married the royal Bavarian imperial councilor Ernst Graf von Moy de Sons (1860–1922) , who came from the French nobility . Their marriage also remained childless. After her death in 1952, her extensive paternal inheritance passed on to the Counts of Moy de Sons, who still own the palace today.
War and post-war history
The once magnificent interior of the Arco / Moy-Palais, elaborately designed from different styles , was completely destroyed by the bombing of the Second World War on December 17, 1944. But in 1932 it was still photographically documented.
When the building was rebuilt between 1950 and 1952 by the Munich architect Georg Hellmuth Winkler , both halves of the house were reunited. Today the property operates under the address Brienner Straße 1. The facade design was largely based on Klenze's classicist model. Large arched windows were only used on the ground floor, which were more suitable as shop windows for the new shops located there than the formerly small rectangular windows. The former division of the palace can still be recognized by a seam in the roof.
