Das Maximilianeum

In impressive pictures, the volume reflects the building's transformation from a picture gallery and a residence for the Study Foundation established by King Max II to the seat of the Bavarian Parliament. Since the Bavarian Parliament moved in in January 1949, the striking building, at the end of Maximilianstrasse, high above the Isar, has been subject to constant change and adaptation to the latest technical requirements. The unique charm of the truly regal building with its mosaic-decorated terracotta facade, however, remains unchanged.Numerous photographs in different sizes and perspectives open up the building to the viewer's eye and literally open up new, unusual "insights" into the Maximilianeum, its architecture and its art. The deliberately chosen brevity of the picture texts is intended to support this effect.
