Regina-Palast-Hotel, Office building in Maxvorstadt, Munich, Germany
The Regina-Palast-Hotel is an office building at Maximiliansplatz combining historical and modern elements. The structure features a reconstructed exterior that preserves the original 1908 entrance design while serving contemporary business purposes.
Karl Stöhr designed the building in 1907 for a commercial firm and it changed ownership several times during the early 20th century. The structure suffered bomb damage in 1944 and was rebuilt after World War II.
The building once served as a gathering place for dances and social events that shaped the city's nightlife. The spaces still reflect this history as a center where people came together for entertainment.
The building sits at a central location on Maximiliansplatz and is easy to reach on foot with the facade clearly visible from street level. You can admire the architectural details of the entrance from outside without needing interior access.
The building hosted Germany's first jazz radio broadcast in 1924, marking it as a pioneer in radio history. This role as an innovative media venue is often overlooked when considering early German broadcasting.
