Gunetzrhainerhaus
The Gunetzrhainerhaus stands at Promenadeplatz 15 in the heart of Munich, a four-storey town house in the early Rococo style. Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer, a prominent court architect, bought the building in 1726 and reshaped it into a Rococo masterpiece by 1730. Look at the richly stuccoed facade and you see the ornate detail and playful elegance that define the style.
In 1944 bombing left the house badly damaged. Hans von Peschke directed the reconstruction of 1960 and 1961. The aim was to preserve a prime example of a bourgeois residence and artist's home of the early Rococo. Moulds and detailed records taken before the war made a faithful recreation of the Régence stucco possible.
Deutsche Bank owns the house today and played a crucial part in its post-war reconstruction. A further renovation began in 2023, working on the interiors while the protected facade stays untouched. A round-arched niche holds a bronze Madonna, one detail worth seeking out. The Bavarian National Museum keeps the terracotta original that Hubert Gerhard shaped around 1600.
