Ebenböck-Haus
Ebenböck-Haus stands in Munich’s Pasing district as a former candle and gingerbread factory, built in 1865. Matthias Ebenböck created the building, and a small statue of Saint Ambrose watches over its entrance.
Candle production ended around 1908 as electric lighting spread, leading to the transformation of the factory and its surrounding park. The grounds combine a symmetrical French garden with trimmed trees and bushes, alongside an English garden shaped by a more natural, informal style. Today, artist residencies share the building with the Pasing Archive and the Munich Workers’ Movement Archive.
Since summer 2011, exhibitions, theatre, music, cinema screenings, and children’s programmes have opened the house to the public. One detail connects the building’s past with its appearance today: Saint Ambrose remains above the entrance as patron saint of wax makers.
