It was built by
Enrico Zuccalli for the prince-elector
Joseph Clemens of Bavaria from 1697 to 1705. The
Hofgarten , a large park in front of the main building, is a popular place for students to meet, study and relax. The Hofgarten was repeatedly a place for political demonstrations, as for example the demonstration against the
NATO Double-Track Decision on 22 October 1981, with about 250,000 participants.
