Karmeliterstraße

Opposite the Karmeliter Church, the institute building, stood a brewery since 1482, which belonged to the Weihenstephan Abbey (1603-1629) in the 17th century, which was then named after the next owner, Pollinger´sche Brauerei (Pollinger brewery) (1629-1667), which was characterized along with the Salzstädeln at Kalteneckh, aka Kaltenögg, in 1662/63.^[3] In the first half of the 19th century in the then still called Karmelitergasse, the brewery was called Kaltenecker, Kalten-Ecker or Kaltenegger Bräuhaus and had the house number 15.^[6] According to a sale notice of 1811, the Bräuhaus also was owner to a summer cellar on the Gasteige.^[7] The Handels- und Gewerbs-Addreß-Taschenbuch of the Royal Baierisches Haupt- and Residenz-Stadt München of 1818^[4] listed the Kaltenecker-Brauhaus as part of Promenadeplatz after it was used as a parade ground after the demolition of the Salzstadel and was transformed into a green garden space starting in 1804 and was renamed Promenadeplatz.

In 1826, the brewery belonging to the citizen and brewer Johann Gallinger († 1828) was abandoned and in 1848, the brewery name was transferred to the Spatenbrauerei.^[8] Due to its proximity to the Karmeliter monastery, the brewery is sometimes referred to as the Karmelitenbrauerei.^[9] Even though the Karmeliter monastery actually had its own brewery on Karmelitergasse but it was demolished in the wake of the secularization and in its place the institute buildings of the royal educational institute were erected.^[10][11]

The brewery, with the house number 1440 is now officially listed as Promenadeplatz 15 since 1833, but was also still seen as Karmelitergasse 15, which later referred to the side entrance on Karmelitergasse, aka Karmeliterstraße. Later, the brewery received the general assignment of Promenadeplatz 21, corner of Karmeliterstraße.^[9]

As early as 1802, the former Kaltenecker brewery in Karmelitergasse was home to a boutique owned by Dutch textile merchant Gerhard Graeve von Neuenrade, and then the business premises of the Jewish merchant, wholesaler and banker Moritz Guggenheimer (1824-1902). His father Bernhard S. Guggenheimer (1791-1865) moved from Harburg in the Donau-Ries to Munich in 1825 as a small but quite wealthy textile merchant (linen, silk) and had received a wholesale concession from the Munich city council. Together with his sons Moritz, Eduard, Josef and Sigmund, he expanded the wholesale business on Promenadeplatz 21, three of the sons were active as bankers and led the bank Guggenheimer & Co.^[12] After Moritz Guggenheimer was one of the co-founders of the Bayerische Vereinsbank in 1869, the bank Guggenheimer was taken over in 1892, from then on until his death, Moritz Guggenheimer belonged on the Supervisory Board of Vereinsbank.

In 1874 the, previously settled on Promenadeplatz 13 and since 1861 existing, cloth wholesale from Meyer Holzinger and Julius Heymann was relocated to Promenadeplatz 21.

Later, the Jewish textile retailer, Sally Eichengrün, opened his popular fabric shop there^[13] which, like the brewery, once appears as listed to be "in Karmelitergasse", sometimes as "on Promenadeplatz" aka "on Ritter-von-Epp-Platz". Eichengrün also owned the property, which today corresponds to the Karmeliterstraße 2a. In 1935, the company was denounced for concealing the Jewish character of their company.^[14] Their winter closing sale in 1936 ended in a report being made by the Munich police department.^[15] In 1938, Eichengrün sold the company to Herbert G. Stiehler and the Frey-Stalf family.^[16][17] In 1939, he then emigrated to Switzerland.^[18]

In 1986, the former houses Promenadeplatz 15 (Gunetzrhainerhaus), 19 (Karmeliterbäcker) and 21 were combined to form the current number 15, to which the current building complex belongs to the Deutsche Bank, which also runs along the eastern side of Karmeliterstraße.^[19]
