The majestic building in the Neoclassical style was built on the site of the former museum of the Bavarian army. It housed the residence of Bavaria's governor Ritter von Epp, and later the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In the early 80s, the authorities decided to demolish this building and construct an office complex in its place. A new project was even approved, but the residents of Munich opposed this turn of events, insisting on preserving the architectural monument.
In the end, a compromise was reached: the central part of the chancellery, together with the dome, was left untouched, and glass-and-metal extensions were added on the sides. By the way, photovoltaic modules were recently installed on the roofs of these blocks, making it possible to generate electricity from sunlight. Their total area is about 800 square meters, and the capacity is 72.52 kW. In addition, a large underground parking lot was equipped, designed for 2000 spaces.
From the windows of the Bavarian State Chancellery, you can see the beautiful Hofgarten park. It was laid out as early as the 17th century. At the same time, the "Temple of Diana" was installed in the middle of the park — a pavilion with a bronze statue on the roof. Eight paths radiate from it, defining the overall structure of the park. The current Hofgarten is only a reconstruction, but one very similar to the original, which was destroyed during the Second World War.
