Odeon, Neoclassical concert hall in Maxvorstadt, Germany.

The Odeon is a neoclassical concert hall in Munich featuring two superimposed colonnades that provided access to the ground floor and gallery levels. The original auditorium measured roughly 75 by 125 feet and functioned as both a concert venue and ballroom for formal events.

King Ludwig I of Bavaria commissioned Leo von Klenze to design the building, which was constructed between 1826 and 1828 as a concert hall and ballroom. The structure suffered damage during World War II but was later reconstructed to house the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior.

The orchestra area displayed busts of ten composers including Beethoven, Mozart, and Haydn in its niches, reflecting the musical tradition the building stood for. These sculptural portraits showed which masters shaped the musical taste of that era.

The building now houses government offices and is not open for regular public events or tours, making an exterior visit the practical option. The columned facade remains visible from the street and gives a clear sense of the original architectural design.

The concert hall's excellent acoustics were praised in its own time, but the ceiling frescoes by Kaulbach, Eberle and Anschütz were decorative, not acoustic. After the 1944 bombing gutted the building, the former auditorium became an interior courtyard; since 2003–06 a glazed gridshell roof by Ackermann and Partner covers it, so the volume can again be sensed.
