Hofstatt is a shopping arcade in the city centre of Munich. While most of the object is located on the former grounds of the Süddeutscher Verlag, part of it occupies the former site of the Abendzeitung along the Sendlinger Straße.
Hofstatt opened in April 2013 and offers an area of about 15,800 m² for diverse fashion and furnishing shops as well as cafés and restaurants on the grounds between Sendlinger Straße, Hackenstraße and Färbergraben. Approximately 19,000 m² of office space and 69 apartments are also accommodated in Hofstatt. Like other shopping arcades, Hofstatt is situated close to Munich's inner city public transport hubs between Marienplatz and Sendlinger Tor.
The three arms of the arcade connect the new constructions completed in 2013 with partly listed building fabric. The former were designed by the well-known Swiss architects' firm Meili, Peter Architekten. The façade – designed by Max Littmann in 1905/06 – of the building used by the editorial department of the Süddeutsche Zeitung from 1945–2008, was integrated, while the building itself was gutted. A glass dome, which covered the former printing press building of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, forms the heart of the complex. Following the curve of the passages, bent glass fronts enclose the show windows.
Representative offices are located on the floors above the shopping arcade. Luxuriously finished apartments were built together with the arcade on the same site, yet in separate buildings near the junction of the streets Hofstatt and Färbergraben. Hofstatt is an architectural highlight with an attractive combination of listed historic buildings and contrasting new buildings.
The special character of Hofstatt is exemplified by the historic building in the quiet location on the corner of Hackenstraße and Hotterstraße accommodating twelve apartments on the first to fourth floor. The new five-storey building immediately adjacent to this old building accessible from the Hotterstraße provides space for self-contained houses with 57 perfectly fitted out apartments.
