Eichamt, Metrology state agency in Munich, Germany.
The Eichamt is Bavaria's state office for weights and measures in Munich, responsible for ensuring measurement accuracy in trade and industry throughout the region. The building stands at Franz-Schrank-Str. 11 and functions as both an active government office and a protected architectural monument.
The office was founded in 1868, marking the start of standardized measurement regulation in Bavaria during the industrial era. Since then, it has continuously guaranteed the reliability of weights and measures for fair commerce across the region.
The building reflects Bavaria's long tradition of fair trade practices based on precise measurement and trust between merchants. Visitors can see how measurement standards shaped local commerce and remain woven into the region's business practices today.
The building sits centrally in Munich on Franz-Schrank-Str. and is accessible by public transportation. Keep in mind this is an active government office, so visits and tours may be limited or require advance planning.
The Eichamt merges an active government function with protected monument status, a rare blend of modern administration housed in historic architecture. This dual role demonstrates how older buildings in Bavaria continue to serve their original purpose while earning architectural protection.
