Rechberg Palace

history
The Palais Rechberg once consisted of two separate houses, one on Hackenstrasse, the other adjoining it, leading around the corner. Since 1678, both houses have been owned by the electoral auditor, Johann Rudolf Wämpl, who had a new building built in their place. Important personalities such as the Wittelsbach dukes Albrecht Sigismund and Maximilian Heinrich , both bishops, were guests here. In 1688, Baron Gaudentius von Rechberg, electoral - royal - Bavarian chamberlain, received the property as a gift in "respect of faithfully rendered services". The Rechberg family housed the French General Louis Bastoul, who was seriously wounded in the Battle of Hohenlinden , in their city palace in 1800 until his death.
The palace was Heinrich Heine's residence in 1827/28 . In 1848 Josef Radlayers bought the house, a purveyor to the royal Bavarian court who also furnished the castles of King Ludwig II with sumptuous furniture from his own workshops. In Radspieler's time, Hackenstrasse was widened, and the back of the palace was now turned into the front. Radspieler added to the palace on this occasion. Today it is presented in a simple, early classicist style with a roughened base and several decorative oriels. Behind the palace is the last remaining private garden in the old town with a fountain by Roman Anton Boos .
In 2014, the renovation of part of the palace into a contemporary commercial and residential building began. The garden of the house is to be equipped with an underground car park. During the excavations necessary for this, shards from the Bronze and Iron Ages as well as a historical cellar room were discovered. The rubble it contains could possibly come from the construction of the nearby Asamhof. After the construction work is finished, the garden is to be restored, the Boos fountain repaired and large trees planted again. The interior is about to be converted into a modern commercial and residential building.
