Regierung von Oberbayern, Administrative building in Lehel district, Munich, Germany
Description
The Regierung von Oberbayern stretches along Maximilianstrasse with a 180-meter facade in terracotta tones featuring Gothic and Romanesque details. The building houses the regional administration for Upper Bavaria and occupies a prominent position in the Lehel district.
History
Friedrich Bürklein designed this government building, which was completed in 1864. After suffering severe wartime damage, it was reconstructed in 1953 to restore its original appearance.
Culture
Three bronze statues on the roof represent loyalty, justice, and wisdom, values that King Maximilian II wanted to express through architecture. They still shape how the building looks and signal what ideals the administration wanted to stand for.
Practical
The building is easily visible from Maximilianstrasse and accessible from the street. Visitors can best appreciate the architecture and roof statues by viewing the facade from the sidewalk in front of the building.
Did you know?
The central spiral staircase survived the bombing and was later protected as an independent architectural monument. This stairwell displays crafted details that were carefully preserved during the post-war reconstruction.
