New Court Garden Rooms (Neue Hofgartenzimmer – Rooms 33-41)

Maximilian I had an older corridor that connected the newer sections of the Residence with the Neuveste transformed into apartments for visiting rulers and other guests.

 

The name ‘Court Garden Rooms’ only became established when this suite of rooms in the Fountain Courtyard was furnished in 1966 with exquisite works of art from the second half of the 18th and early 19th centuries, which originated from the so-called ‘Hofgartentrakt’ (Court Garden Wing), a wing in the north of the Residence facing the Court Garden, which was destroyed during the Second World War.

Most of the furniture and art objects on display originate from the possessions of the Wittelsbach branch of the Pfalz-Zweibrücken family, which came to power in Munich in 1799 with Max IV/I Joseph (reigned until 1825, king from 1806) and from which the Bavarian kings of the 18th century descended.
