Odeon, Neoclassical concert hall in Maxvorstadt, Germany.
The Odeon features two superimposed colonnades providing access to the ground floor and a gallery, with an interior auditorium measuring 75 by 125 feet.
Commissioned by King Ludwig I of Bavaria and designed by Leo von Klenze, the Odeon was constructed between 1826 and 1828 as both a concert hall and ballroom.
The orchestra space contained a semi-circular exedra with niches displaying busts of ten composers, including Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn.
Following reconstruction after World War II damage, the building now houses the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior, with its original auditorium transformed into an interior courtyard.
The ceiling of the original structure displayed frescoes by Wilhelm Kaulbach, Adam Eberle, and Hermann Anschütz, contributing to its acoustic excellence.
