Description

Munich Briennerstraße 45 Brown House 1934 Conversion; Photo; Licensed article; Original: 5740×4315; Photographer: Unknown; Licensable; Rights: © Bleek/zb Media. The architect of the Brown House in Munich was Paul Ludwig Troost.
Troost was Adolf Hitler’s favourite architect and one of the leading designers of Nazi architecture. He was commissioned in 1931 to convert the originally classicist Palais Barlow in Briennerstrasse into the party headquarters of the NSDAP. In addition to the exterior redesign, he also characterised the interior of the building with a monumental, austere and representative style.
The interior was designed with dark wood, heavy furniture, wall panelling and large Nazi symbols to emphasise the party’s claim to power. After Troost’s death in 1934, his wife, Gerdy Troost, continued the design of several other projects in his style.
