Künstlerhaus, Munich, Germany

The Münchner Künstlerhaus is first and foremost a cultural venue. It was built in the late 19th century by a local Munich architect to be a meeting place for artists and Munich’s high society.

The building itself substantiates this purpose beautifully with its charming Neo-Renaissance architecture, its impressive foyer, superbly painted and decorated ceilings and various elegant event rooms.


The great thing is that you can rent this magnificent venue (or individual rooms) for private and business events.

Thankfully the kidnapping was acted as my event insurance wouldn’t have covered a real case

We rented parts of the venue for a business client’s Al Capone evening, with fun casino gambling, singing and even a simulated kidnapping of one of the guests. The rooms lend themselves to this sort of event because the décor enhances the atmosphere in a way few other venues can.

Of course this is just one example of how to leverage the elegant style of the interior, and I’m sure many more come to mind once you see the pictures on their website.

Located in the middle of Munich, close to the main train station, the Künstlerhaus is easy to reach. Despite its proximity to the busy Lenbachplatz you’ll find yourself immersed in a different world, once you and your guests have walked through the ornamented stone portal into the building’s courtyard.
