A magnificent historic building from 1850 with 14 apartments and potential for new construction
This historic, listed residential building embodies the upper-class architectural style of the 19th century and perfectly reflects the classicism of that era. This impressive historic building is four stories tall and features two entrances. The property comprises 14 apartments ranging in size from approximately 18 to 129 m². The total leasable area is approximately 1,167 m². In 2015–2016, the facade was restored to its former glory through extensive work based on historical documentation and was awarded the Munich City Facade Prize in 2017.
In addition to the historical elegance and prestige of this so-called “Bürgerhaus,” its unparalleled location in the immediate vicinity of the English Garden and on one of the most beautiful streets in Maxvorstadt is particularly noteworthy. Around 1870, the Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen lived just a few houses away; in the decades that followed, painters and sculptors from the bohemian scene of the time resided in the house presented here.
The spacious rear portion of the property offers potential for new construction.

This rare historic property, offered exclusively by us for sale, is exceptional simply because of its location. Just a few steps from Ludwigstraße, the English Garden, and Munich’s Old Town, this property combines vibrant city life with a natural idyll. The universities, the Academy of Fine Arts, and the museum district are all within easy reach of this location.
Right next door lies the English Garden, one of the world’s largest inner-city parks, which even surpasses New York’s Central Park in size. Equally close by are the Hofgarten, Odeonsplatz, and Munich’s Old Town. The Bavarian State Opera, the Fünf Höfe, Marienplatz, and the Viktualienmarkt are all within easy walking distance, as are Königsplatz, Münchner Freiheit—and the banks of the Isar. Thus, this property combines the best of both worlds like few others, without the need for a car.
The infrastructure is excellent. The immediate vicinity features shops for everyday and upscale needs, as well as movie theaters, fitness centers, dance and yoga studios, and many other amenities. Daycare centers, kindergartens, and excellent schools (including the City Campus of the Bavarian International School) are also within easy reach. The “Universität” and “Odeonsplatz” subway stations offer excellent public transportation connections.
