Bazargebäude

With its 175-meter-long neoclassical façade, the Bazargebäude defines the east side of Munich's Odeonsplatz. Leo von Klenze designed the symmetrical, two-story building, which was constructed between 1824 and 1826 on the site of the old riding school. It is organized around a central pavilion and closes off to the north and south with corner pavilions, while the arcade design visually separates it from the Hofgarten. Rebuilt in 1956, the building now houses a variety of shops and restaurants. The south pavilion is home to the historic Café Tambosi, considered one of the city's oldest coffeehouses since 1775. Until 2011, the northern section housed the well-known movie theater.
