Preserving Bavarian treasures

06/09/2022 | Glas Trösch | Reference

Pretzels, beer and lederhosen are known all over the world, but King Ludwig II or a Lanz steam engine are also part of Bavarian cultural heritage. In order to preserve these, the architectural firm wörner traxler richter was commissioned by the Free State of Bavaria to design the museum Haus der Bayerischen Geschichte.

The urban context of the old town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, served as a reference point for the building. While the roofscape is based on the surrounding medieval building structure, the interior is modeled on the former Hunnenplatz and Eschergasse, which were located on this site. Our triple insulating glass SILVERSTAR ZERO T as roof glazing and the triple insulating glass SILVERSTAR COMBI 51/26 as façade glass not only supply the interior with daylight, but also create a link between the old town and the Danube side. This visual axis is also intended to invite passers-by to experience the spatial structure of the foyer, which is based on the former cityscape.
