Salvatorgarage, Multistorey car park at Salvatorplatz, Munich, Germany.
The Salvatorgarage is a nine-level parking structure at Salvatorplatz in Munich with a brick facade and galvanized steel extension. The building integrates elements of the medieval city wall into its design and provides a total of 465 parking spaces spread across multiple floors.
The structure was built in 1965 by architect Franz Hart and already incorporated remnants of the medieval city wall into its design from the start. A significant change occurred in 2006 when a galvanized steel facade was added to protect the protected brick structure beneath.
The name Salvatorplatz comes from the nearby Salvatorkirche church that has defined the area for centuries. Visitors can see how the structure frames the square with its solid facade while reinterpreting the historical setting in a contemporary way.
Access to the different levels is provided by a central ramp and elevators that help visitors navigate the structure easily. Certain parking spaces are reserved for women and people with disabilities to ensure accessibility for all visitors.
The 2006 galvanized steel facade was designed using computer calculations to create a pattern that reflects the protected brick structure underneath. This technical approach demonstrates how modern engineering can respect and preserve historical monuments while serving contemporary needs.
