House Blum (Munich)
The Blum residential building at Stollbergstrasse 18 (formerly Kanalstrasse 49) is a listed building (monument files no. D-1-62-000-6718) built in 1857 in the Munich district of Altstadt-Lehel , “one of the most beautiful House facades in the Maximilian style offers ».
Building history
The master stonemason Heinrich Blum began in the winter of 1856/57 in what was then Munich's Kanalstrasse, a small side street off Maximilianstrasse , with the unauthorized construction of an apartment building. As a result, the immediate cessation of construction was ordered. An input plan presented shortly thereafter was not approved. A corrected input plan, which the master mason Windwart and the master carpenter Peter Erlacher worked out, finally led to approval on April 22, 1857. In the summer of 1857, the client had a draft made to modify the facade, which was approved on August 28, 1857. In December 1857 the building was accepted. The house, which suffered only minor war damage, was placed under monument protection in 1963 and repaired from 1989 to 1996.
construction
The house in the eaves position facing the street is a three-storey building in the standardized residential architecture of Munich. The remarkable facade is divided into three parts, contrasted with light stone and red brick walls of the wall panels and oriented to the construction of the Maximilianstraße and shortly finished earlier, in World War II destroyed house Sepp (Schönfeldstraße 1a, today Rheinberger Straße 1a) of Matthias Berger . In the raised, crenellated central risalit with three window axes as in the two side risalits with two window axes each, forms of German and English Gothic are mixed with those of the Tudor style and with rectangular windows as well as with floral ornaments typical of the Maximilian style. Putti represent the seasons, alongside religious scenes and knights.
