Main Building with ornamental courtyard, Königinstrasse 107
The Main Building at Königinstrasse 107 was built in 1912/13 to a design by the architects Oswald Eduard Bieber and Wilhelm Hollweck. With its characteristic elements of art nouveau and classicism, it has been a listed building since 1973. The visitor approaches the main entrance via the ornamental courtyard. And this is what Bieber and Hollweck called their prize-winning design in 1912.

Building West 5 and Walking Man, Leopoldstrasse 36
Our office building on Leopoldstrasse was completed in 1995. The architects Denk, Mauder, Wisiol and Altenbehrend designed it as two five-storey wings connected by a cylindrical glass entrance hall.

Walking Man, 1995 The area in front of the building on Leopoldstrasse is dominated by the sculpture "Walking Man". The 17-metre-tall, 16-tonne figure by the American artist Jonathan Borofsky, with its dynamic, out-reaching form, stands in contrast to the strictly geometric pattern of the facade behind it. As it strides out, the sculpture gives the impression of striving forward and serves as a symbol for a society geared to performance and dynamism.

East Building and forecourt, Königinstrasse 38
The East Building, located opposite the Main Building, was the first addition to Munich Re's office premises. Constructed in 1963, it was designed by Maurer, Denk and Mauder. With its anodized aluminium facade, it embodies the clear lines of 1960s architecture. On the forecourt there is an aluminium fountain "Version two" by the Munich sculptor Georg Brenning, which has been situated there since 1965. This was joined in 2000 by the aluminium sculpture "Concave rounded" by Rupprecht Geiger.

Building South 1, Gedonstrasse 10
After two years of rebuilding our office building on Gedonstrasse was reopened in spring of 2002. South 1 was completely restructured and renovated and now looks as if completely newly built. The alternation was done by the architects Baumschlager and Eberle from Austria who have redesigned a building from the seventies into a modern structure which complies with newest ecological technology.

Munich Re offices at "Am Münchner Tor", Schlüterstrasse 6-10
In May 2004, the group of Munich Re buildings at and around Königinstrasse was supplemented by a new office complex some three kilometres away in the north of Schwabing: "Am Münchner Tor". The new offices, comprising a 85-metre high-rise and a six-storey building, were designed by Munich architects Allmann Sattler Wappner and provide workspace for some 1,200 employees.
