Unterer Anger 8/9
The building Unterer Anger 8/9 is an office building of the Munich fire brigade . It was built shortly after the main fire station as an annex to this and is entered as a separate architectural monument in the Bavarian list of monuments.
history
Around 1900 there were several houses on Unteren Anger that had been owned by the City of Munich since 1807 . Some of them had previously served as the rear building for the New Landscape Building, which was built from 1774 . In place of the houses with the house numbers 8 and 9, an auxiliary building was built in 1906/07 for the main fire station that had been built shortly before . A direct connection to the main building was not possible because the land on the corner of Unterer Anger / An der Hauptfeuerwache (at that time still a part of Blumenstrasse) was privately owned and a five- story group of tenements had been built there as early as 1885-87 .
The outbuilding was built according to the plans of the city's building officer Robert Rehlen , who had already had the main building constructed according to the plans of his predecessor Carl Hocheder . It contained service apartments for members of the professional fire brigade and for the drivers employed by the professional fire brigade. The business premises of the volunteer fire brigade were also housed on the two lower floors.
architecture
The ancillary building closes off the inner courtyard of the main fire station to the east and is connected to it via a sloping connecting wing. The building is a four-storey four-wing structure over a floor area of around 34 × 22 m with an inner courtyard of around 10 × 5 m. In the southeast corner it carries a tower-like structure, which is closed on the street and courtyard side with a volute gable .
The facade of the two lower floors, on which the business premises were located, is not structured, and the windows are further apart than on the upper floors, on which the apartments were located. The second floor is particularly highlighted with a structure of pilasters and wall niches arranged between the windows and a frieze and cornice running above the windows .
The two-storey eaves gable roof is not structured without dormers .
