Munich Bavarian Landtag (State Parliament) Bavarian flag German flag European flag


The Maximilianeum, seat since 1949 of the Bavarian Landtag (State Parliament) and Senate, closes the vista at the east end of the Maximilianstrasse. This conspicuous Munich landmark on the east bank of the Isar was built by Friedrich Bürklein between 1857 and 1874. The long main front was originally designed in Gothic style with pointed arches, but at the request of Maximilian II, the architect substituted round-headed arches in Renaissance style, since Gothic arches were felt to be unsuitable for a long series of windows.
