Munich - Ignaz-Günther House

(Local Name: Ignaz-Günther-Haus) The studio and home of the sculptor Ignaz Günther in Munich, was opened in 1977, after extensive restoration, as a memorial to the great 18th C. exponent of South German Roccoco.

On the Oberanger frontage note the characteristic Munich-style "Ohrwaschl" gable and the Madonna figure (by Günther; copy). The interior preserves an old barrel-vaulted timber roof and a Jacob's ladder leading up through two floors. There is an exhibition illustrating Günther's work.

The house is now in the care of Munich Stadtmuseum.
