Hauptgebäude der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München

The Hauptgebäude stands as a large neoclassical structure with a grand entrance portal, symmetrical wings, and ornate architectural details along its facade.

The building, designed by architect Friedrich von Gärtner, opened its doors in 1840 when the university relocated from Landshut to Munich under King Ludwig I.

The Great Assembly Hall within the main building serves as a center for academic ceremonies, lectures, concerts, and intellectual discourse among faculty and students.

Located in central Munich, the building houses administrative offices, lecture halls, and study spaces for students across multiple academic departments.

The structure survived World War II and maintains original architectural elements, including decorative stonework and grand staircases from the 19th century.
