Palais Seinsheim
The Palais Seinsheim is a city palace in the late Rococo style in Munich's Prannerstraße 7.
history
The Palais Seinsheim was built in 1764 in the Kreuzviertel district , where the Bavarian aristocracy used to live. It served as the residence for Count Joseph Franz Maria von Seinsheim , a Bavarian minister and president of the Academy of Sciences , who often held events in the palace. Even Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was here in 1780 as a guest, as Daniel Schubart . Like many other Palais in the Kreuzviertel, the Palais Seinsheim is now owned by a bank. The Bavarian Association of Cities has had its headquarters here since 1984 .
architecture
The light yellow facade of the three-storey gable roof building is late Rococo , but the first strict forms of classicism can already be recognized. Formerly two houses, the palace was rebuilt or rebuilt around 1764/70. Both houses were remodeled by Joseph Höchl in 1809. After the Second World War, Herbert Landauer rebuilt the palace again in 1949 and widened it to the west towards the Gise palace ; At the same time, its proportions were changed, so that the building with twelve axes looks a bit too long today.
