The house at Zweibrückenstrasse 8 in the Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt district in Munich was built in 1903. The residential and commercial building is a protected architectural monument (file number D-1-62-000-7788 in the list of monuments for Munich at the Bavarian State Office for Monument Preservation ).

History and design

The building in the neo-renaissance style (based on the models of the so-called German renaissance ) was designed by the architect Hans Hartl , who was also the client . The house with double gable and carved stone bay window has a wall painting on the north side of the facade, which refers to the former restaurant on the post office garden on the ground floor. This work of art extends from the second to the third floor between two by two rows of windows and was executed around 1905 based on a drawing by the painter Gottfried Gottlieb Klemm. The work of art is signed with "GGK", the year the building was completed and the year the drawing was restored. You can see a mail rider - dressed in the costume of the time - on a horse riding through a trellis towards the street. The inn found a new home in the new building and lasted until 1971. Further historical facade decoration is located between the first and second floor on the left side of the house wall. It is a cannonball that protrudes half its diameter from the plaster of the wall. A memorial plaque is attached below the sphere. This describes their history in a compact text; the inscription on the plaque reads as follows: AFTER THE SHOOTING OF THE RED GATE BY MARSHAL CONDE ON 8 SEPT. DJ 1796 FOUND HERE . The metal ball found on the property of the post garden in 1796 was already embedded in the facade of the previous building of the old post garden.

The architect of the building, as a complete figure in a seated pose, is worked into a natural stone slab as a half-relief above the right window on the ground floor.

The house survived the Second World War with almost no damage. As early as 1933, the original attachments on the two gables, which were richer in design, were replaced by simpler ones. In 1984/1985 the building was converted into a condominium.

Shalom Ben-Chorin

A memorial plaque reminds that Schalom Ben-Chorin was born as Fritz Rosenthal on July 20, 1913 in this house.

On the photo board on this page you can still see the building in which the guest and tavern inn for the Postgarten was located. The elongated building, which is only one floor high, can be recognized as a flat square building with a sloping roof between the residential buildings that have already been raised on the left and right.
