history

Construction of the building began in 1898. For this purpose, some previous buildings, some of which were even on the site of the planned road widening, had to be demolished. For the construction of the wing on Gewürzmühlstrasse, part of the Hofhammerschmiedbach was vaulted.

On November 27, 1944, one of the air raids on Munich during World War II destroyed the structure on the corner pavilion. A fundamental renovation of the facade took place in 1988/89. In 2005, the corner pavilion was again given a tent roof with a copper lantern , as it was originally .
