Palais Preysing
The Palais Preysing (also Preysing-Palais ) is the reconstructed city palace which Oberstjägermeister Johann Maximilian IV. Emanuel Graf von Preysing had built in the northern old town of Munich . It is located at Residenzstrasse 27, on the corner of Viscardigasse, the so-called Drückebergergasse . The west facade of the palace is on Theatinerstrasse .
history
When it was built, the Schwabinger Tor, today the Feldherrnhalle , was located directly behind the palace . The Palais Preysing was the first rococo - Palais Munich. In contrast to the Palais Neuhaus-Preysing in Prannerstrasse, which was built a little later, the Palais is also known as the Older Palais Preysing .
The builder served at court and was educator and advisor to Elector Karl Albrecht . After he was laughed at and ridiculed several times by the latter because of his unsuitable dwelling, which was in the same place and in the immediate vicinity of the residence, Count Preysing commissioned the master builder Joseph Effner , who built a representative palace in the years 1723–1728. The work was done in such a hurry that the bricklayers had to do their work even at night by torchlight. The decor was unusually magnificent. The stucco work by Dominikus Zimmermann contributed in particular to this . But even with mundane objects no savings were made; For example, the feeding bowls for the horses were made of marble and cost the then enormous sum of 25 guilders each . The travel writer and British councilor Johann Georg Keyßler reports in his letters about the great ornament that the palace now represents for Munich.
In 1835 it became the first office building for the newly founded Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechsel-Bank . This moved in 1898 near the Promenadeplatz , where it has resided ever since.
After heavy destruction in the Second World War, the building, which was also used for private events, was reconstructed by Erwin Schleich based on old models. The interior was removed in the 19th century except for the three-armed grand staircase with lush stucco and caryatids inside. Nowadays there are numerous shops and practices, and a shopping mall runs through the building. The house is one of the classiest addresses in Munich.
On the other hand, the Palais Lerchenfeld, built in 1735 in the neighboring Residenzstrasse 21, no longer exists, it was destroyed in World War II and never rebuilt.
architecture
The palace is free as a building block on three sides, the north side was formerly on the Gumppenberg house, and is now ajar to the Feldherrnhalle . Both street facades in the west and east show new window axes, each with a three-axis central projection, which are more richly structured with segment gables in the west and triangular gables in the east. The colossal pilasters between the windows taper downwards, in the middle of the east facade on Residenzstrasse there is a pillar-supported balcony. The ground floor is striped , and above it there are two upper floors of the same height, while the third floor is lower, above it in the middle is the gable and the flat hipped roof. The south-east corner is rounded and decorated with a monumental vase on the ground floor. The thirteen-axis south facade on Viscardigasse is more restrained.
