history
In 1810, the board of directors of the royal tax and domain administration of Maximilian I Joseph (Bavaria) , Franz Wilhelm von Asbeck (* 1760 in Haus Knippenburg zu Bottrop; † 1826) owned almost all of the plots in the Karolinenplatz that had been planned for urban development . The property at Karolinenplatz 4 was acquired for Crown Prince Ludwig I (Bavaria) and the later Palais Toerring-Seefeld was built. On the property at Karolinenplatz 5, Franz Wilhelm von Asbeck had a palace built according to plans by Karl von Fischer . The floor plan was based on a 4x4 grid, with two squares on each side forming a room. In the center, a rotunda extended over both floors and penetrated the hipped roof for a skylight . La Rotonda's suggestion was evident; On a two-year trip to Italy, Fischer had studied the works of Andrea Palladio and recorded them in sketches. Fischer added an ionic porch on the facade to Karolinenplatz for a driveway. The main facade was centered on a three-way opening. In the La Rotonda model , the rotunda emerges from the hipped roof surface along elliptical arches and has the shape of a cylinder. Fischer drew a square enclosure wall of the rotunda over the hipped roof and placed a barrel vault on top. The intersection lines thus formed straight horizontal roof edges, which on the one hand corresponds to a classical sense of shape and on the other hand simplified the connection formation. The composition included two outbuildings on Barer and Brienner Strasse , which varied in outline of the facade design of the main building.
In 1821 the palace came into the possession of Ferdinand Ludwig Joseph Anton von Hompesch-Bollheim, Lieutenant General in Königi. British service, brother of the finance minister Johann Wilhelm Friedrich Freiherr von Hompesch (born September 14, 1761 in Oberelvenich; † December 9, 1809), until 1840 owner of Hofmark Berg am Laim (field ovens for brick distillery, brick - peat ).
In 1825 Leo von Klenze examined the planned conversions. The main building was raised by one storey and expanded with side extensions. In the reign of Alexander III. the palace was used by Nikolai von der Osten-Sacken as the Russian embassy from 1881 to 1894 .
In 1896, Ludwig Deiglmayr & Co. , Theresienstraße 148, acquired the property, had the parcel facing Barerstraße and Brienner Straße filleted, added two floors and sold the property to Georg von Bayern .
From 1901 to 1904 Max Bullinger used the building as the Portuguese consulate .
In 1906 the arbitration tribunal for workers' insurance was located here, in which all arbitration tribunals were united.
From late 1908 to 1931 Elsa and Hugo Bruckmann , publishers of Houston Stewart Chamberlain , resided on the second floor of the Palais, where they held their Salon Bruckmann every Friday , which had already taken place at Nymphenburger Strasse 86 since January 1899. In February 1908, Norbert von Hellingrath met Karl Wolfskehl in his aunt Elsa’s salon . Elsa Bruckmann was involved in the war aid for intellectual professions during the First World War .
From 6 to 7 May 1919 the property was the scene of a massacre by the Bayreuth Freikorps under the command of Wolff von Stutterheim . A patrol led by Deputy Sergeant Konstantin Makowski abused and murdered 21 members of the Catholic journeyman's association St. Joseph Augustenstrasse 71. Sergeant Ernst Poller, who lived on the first floor, went into the courtyard in civilian clothes, where he was threatened, whereupon he himself hid. The publisher's wife Bruckmann asked Captain Brinkmann, who was quartered on the third floor and whose horse boy Stefan Latosi was involved in the slaughter, to go into the courtyard, because there was shooting there. Brinkmann explained that the arrests were initiated by an undercover agent or the like and that there was nothing he could do about the matter, he could not go down for every shooting. When Colonel Hans Kundt , the leader of the 2nd Guard Division of the Emperor Alexander Guard Grenadier Regiment No. 1 , arrived at the court with his adjutant Botho von Hülsen, he found numerous soldiers from various units as well as part of the brigade staff from the neighboring Palais Toerring-Seefeld .
On October 25, 1919, the soldier Jakob Müller and the deputy sergeant Konstantin Makowski were sentenced to 14 years in prison and Otto Grabasch to one year in prison for manslaughter. No proceedings were initiated against the officers in charge. The proceedings against Wolff von Stutterheim were discontinued. In a separate trial, on November 4, 1919, the former hussar Stefan Latosi, who had left the cellar bloodstained with stolen watches and purses on the night of May 6th, 1918, was acquitted of the crime of manslaughter, but for serious theft Sentenced to 10 years in prison.
After Adolf Hitler was released from the Landsberg correctional facility on December 21, 1924 , he made a guest appearance on December 23, 1924 at the Salon Bruckmann , where he was also introduced to Paul Ludwig Troost . The Bruckmanns took part in the financing of the acquisition of the neighboring Brown House by the NSDAP and in 1931 they moved to Leopoldstrasse .
