The Pini-Haus in Munich , also known under the name Imperial-Haus , is a seven-storey building on the triangular property at Schützenstrasse 1 on Stachus . The building stands at the fork in the street between Schützenstrasse and Bayerstrasse and is rounded at the sharp corner.

history

The house was designed by architect Joseph of Schmaedel as solid construction in masonry with wooden beams designed and completed. 1877 It was refurbished for the first time in 1907 and the wooden beam ceilings were replaced by reinforced concrete ceilings , steel columns were encased with concrete and a flat roof was put on instead of the previous gable roof . Further modifications were made in 1933 and from 2000 to 2002.

The building got its original name Imperial House after the Café Imperial , which was run there. It was later renamed the Pini House after the Pini Optik optician's shop moved there. There had been a cinema in the house called the Imperial Cinema since the beginning of the 20th century . During the Second World War it was Munich's largest soldiers' cinema and was open 24 hours a day. Because of the many neon signs , it was said that the house brought Times Square feeling to Munich. After the war, the Associated Press news agency used the rooms on the sixth floor at times. After a fire, the building was extensively restored around the turn of the millennium. Since then the Anna Hotel has been housed in the house. The hotel is operated by the Geisel family, who also own the nearby Hotel Königshof .
