A Schwabing building is to be renovated. The residents of the listed front building are afraid of rent increases and fear for their community, but in the rear building the existence of a well-known craftsman is at stake.

The location is excellent. It’s only a few minutes’ walk from Schwabing’s Hohenzollernplatz to Herzogstraße 86, a “four-story building with a Gothic facade decor” from 1899, as the house is described in the Bavarian monument atlas. Because of its optics towards the street, the front building is a listed building. But there is also something worth seeing inside: a wooden staircase with ornate railings, for example, colorful tiles in the hallway and herringbone parquet in the living rooms. In addition, historical apartment doors with mailbox slots. And not to forget: green tiled stoves. Everything from when it was built. But now a renovation project is calling this ensemble and the coexistence of the people living there into question. Because both the eleven apartments in the front building and five in the rear building are to be renovated and remodeled as well.
