Hauptfeuerhaus München, Renaissance Revival fire station in Old Town, Munich, Germany

The Hauptfeuerhaus München features a four-story structure with eight-arched arcade supported by Tuscan columns and an oval roof lantern at the center.

Built between 1902 and 1904 under architect Carl Hocheder's direction, this station replaced an older facility from 1795 that no longer met Munich's requirements.

The Feuerwehrmuseum München, established in 1979 within the main fire station, documents the evolution of firefighting practices in Munich since 1879.

Located at coordinates 48.1327° N and 11.5695° E, the station remains operational as Fire Station 1, housing the Munich fire brigade management.

The original design included an electrical system that enabled horses to automatically harness themselves to fire engines during emergencies.
