About Palais Ludwig Ferdinand

The Palais Ludwig Ferdinand, also known as the Alfons Palace, stands on Wittelsbacherplatz in Munich. Leo von Klenze designed the building in 1825 and 1826 and lived in it himself for two decades. After suffering heavy damage in World War II, it was renovated and leased to Siemens in 1949, which moved its headquarters here. The company has owned the building since 1957 and set up its corporate administration there. Over the past decades, several modern office buildings have been added to the historic ensemble. When the company headquarters was redesigned, the palace was carefully restored, while the adjacent new building, with its understated glass facade, deliberately leaves the view of the historic structure open.
