Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße 1, Bank building and architectural heritage monument in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.
Description
The building at Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße 1 is a bank structure with three upper floors marked by a rusticated facade and Corinthian columns. Ornamental coat-of-arms tablets and balustrade-related elements define its exterior appearance.
History
The structure was built between 1893 and 1894 under architect Albert Schmidt's direction as a Royal Branch Bank. It was expanded northward from 1907 to 1908 to provide more space for growing banking operations.
Culture
The facade displays sculptures by Heinrich Waderé showing allegorical figures that represent trade, industry, agriculture, and craft. These decorations tell of the economic importance this location held for the city.
Practical
The building is easily accessible on foot in the old town and sits centrally in the city center. Following comprehensive renovation between 2000 and 2005, a hotel now occupies the interior while historical facade elements remain intact.
Did you know?
A relief in the tympanum of the central risalit depicts Bavaria distributing laurel wreaths, symbolizing the site's connection to regional identity. This detail is often overlooked even though it reflects the political and cultural significance of the building in Bavarian history.
