DIE LAGE

Stadtpalais Widenmayer is located in the 1st Munich city district of Altstadt/Lehel adjacent to the modern city centre and the prestigious residential area of Bogenhausen. The location is characterised to the east by the Herzogpark, the Isar river and the Maximilianspark, to the west by the Englischer Garten and, directly adjacent to the property, by the waters of the Eisbach. To the south are further inner city areas and the old town with its stately buildings and landmarks.

Lehel represents for Munich city's living history. It is enhanced by local addresses such as St.-Anna-Platz, Maximiliansplatz and the Max Monument, and the Prinz-Carl-Palais. Sights such as the 38-metre Angel of Peace (regarded as a landmark in Munich), the Monopteros and the Chinese pagoda in the English Garden as well as a variety of museums such as the Bavarian National Museum or the House of Art are all within walking distance. In combination with the city centre and the extensive green areas in the immediate vicinity (Englischer Garten, Maximiliansanlage, Isarauen) plus the adjacent Isar and Eisbach, this location offers an incomparable range of local amenities and leisure activities right at your doorstep.

Thanks to bus and tram stops just 100 metres away, U4 and U5 underground lines nearby and optimal connections to the trunk road network, the location has excellent transport links too.

THE ARCHITECTURE

Exclusive condominiums of between 45 and 450 square metres are housed inside Stadtpalais Widenmayer, a heritage-listed landmark which more than lives up to the location's reputation, not to mention the expectations of future residents.

The property consists of three sections that frame a French-style courtyard complete with water feature. The completely renovated building displays its historic facades to the Isar and the Eisbach. The middle building is a new build construction with a modern facade that harmoniously coordinates with the extant historical structures. Demolition and fresh development of the middle section of the ensemble allows the construction of an underground garage for the residents – a unique feature along Widenmayerstrasse. The highly distinguished, 6-metre-tall entrance portal with gives visitors and residents alike a foretaste of the spaciousness of the interiors to come.

The building is heritage-listed due to the many details worth protecting, such as the stucco elements adorning the facades of the front and rear buildings and the pillars framing the loggias that overlook the Eisbach. The interiors, too, possess numerous details worth protecting that grant a special flair to the old building: mosaic floors in front of the elevator, stucco elements on the ceilings, the weighty doors of the entrance portal – these are part of this monumental landmark and are carefully preserved during the renovation work.

THE OUTFITTING

Demanding attention to detail and the highest quality define the top-class character of the Stadtpalais Widenmayer ensemble and the apartments it houses. However, the very fabric of the historic building and the various elements of the interior outfitting – stucco, natural stone or parquet flooring – requires a great deal of sensitivity. Both the restoration of the existing elements and the fine tuning of the necessary additions to the historical foundation takes a lot of effort.

But the result is well worth the effort: history can be felt in the interiors, and the outfitting makes it possible to experience a stately character in the new build sections as well as in the historical parts of the building. Stadtpalais Widenmayer has been realised with the aim of setting new standards in the exclusive surroundings of Lehel. This attitude continues on the inside.
