The Palais Löschenkohl in Regensburg is an example of Baroque residential architecture. It once served as a diplomatic representation and continues to shape the cityscape with its facade.

History+

Between 1731 and 1733, the palace was built for the banker and merchant Hieronymus Löschenkohl. The design came from Johann Michael Prunner from Linz, a student of the architect Lucas von Hildebrandt. After the bankruptcy of the Löschenkohl trading house in 1743, the delegation of the Electorate of Saxony moved into the building, which thereafter served as the Saxon Legation to the Perpetual Imperial Diet. This function ended in 1806 with the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire.
