It was King Maximilian II of Bavaria who in 1850 first set about developing Munich’s Maximilianstraße, as one of four royal boulevards. Today, Maximilianstraße is testament to the monarch’s idiosyncratic take on architectural history: the city-centre street is lined with palatial buildings, their imposing facades a blend of Renaissance and Gothic Revival detailing seldom seen since. To Hemmerle, the address has been home since 1904, when the storied jeweller first moved to Maximilianstrasse 14.
