Arnulfstraße 62 is a building complex in Munich's Maxvorstadt that was used by Deutsche Post until the mid-2000s .

The area on the former Marsfeld is located between Arnulfstrasse , Wredestrasse, Tillystrasse and Deroystrasse at the Hackerbrücke . The Circus Krone , the Arnulfpark and the Augustiner-Keller restaurant are also within a radius of approx. 200 meters . A large circular building with a diameter of 52 meters and 58 doors is centrally located. This building was used as a distribution center for parcels from 1930 to 1985, and then as a canteen for a few years.

The buildings were constructed in 1926 according to plans by Robert Vorhoelzer and Walther Schmidt and are one of the most striking examples of the Post Building School . They wore, among other things, the terms Postfuhramt , Paketzustellamt , force post office and Arnulf Post . The rotunda is called the Postpalast today. It was used temporarily for events.
