Facade of the Neuhaus-Preysing Palace

The Palais Neuhaus-Preysing is a palace in the old town in Munich , Prannerstr. 2.

architecture

It was built in 1737 by Philipp Jakob Köglsperger , an employee of the Munich builder François de Cuvilliés the Elder , who also designed the building. It is a new building of the property built in 1703 by the von Neuhaus family.

The building still has one of the few originally preserved aristocratic palace facades in rococo style on Prannerstrasse in Munich. The facade has nine axes, the central projection with balcony on the piano nobile, which is crowned by a triangular gable with a coat of arms, has three axes. The ground floor with mezzanine and the two upper floors are clearly structured by cornices but without pilasters.

West next to the Palais was until its destruction in World War II, the classical Hiltl house with which it marked the start of the once magnificent road line of the entire Prannerstraße, then also at the Bavarian Parliament was. The baroque Palais of Count Thürheim to the east at Prannerstraße 1 had already been demolished in 1892 for the new building of the Royal Bavarian Bank. In the same year, the baroque Palais Perusa on the corner of Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße had to give way for the construction of the royal branch bank. Nothing has survived from the 19th century Palais Tascher de la Pagerie at Prannerstraße 5.

history

The building served as the second town seat of Count Ferdinand Maria Franz Freiherr von Neuhaus . After several changes of ownership, the house was bought by the Bayerische Staatsbank in 1898 to expand the institute's business premises. But it was not until 1924 that the necessary connection between the two buildings was broken. For a long time the palace was used for the bank's registry. In 1944 the building was bombed. In 1952 the necessary security measures for the ruin began and from 1954 to 1956 the new building designs by the Munich architect Erwin Schleich were implemented. The original design inside the palace has been changed.

As a result of the merger with the Bayerische Vereinsbank in 1971, the palace, together with the modern new building of the Hiltl-Haus (Prannerstraße 4) next to it, finally became the property of Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG .

As part of the concept of the Fünf Höfe 2003-06, the Palais Neuhaus-Preysing was also renovated according to the plans of the architects Guido Canali (Parma) and Gilberto Botti (Munich). In addition to the offices and conference rooms on the upper floors, an event center was built behind the imposing facade. The bank's guest casino is on the 4th floor.
