Local before arrival
Thomas Mann, erstwhile resident of Munich and “household god,” would have loved it: The view of the Theatine Church and the city lights from the top floor of the Literaturhaus is stunning. The harmonious conversion of this neorenaissance building by Munich-based architects Kiessler + Partner is award-winning, and thanks to an airy steel-and-glass construction, the building now has its top floor back. Don’t miss the details, such as Jenny Holzer’s digital installation in the café that pays homage to Oskar Maria Graf.
