Head of Sale
Ludwig I (25 August 1786 – 29 February 1868) was King of Bavaria from 1825 until 1848. He abdicated in favour of his son, Maximilian II. Ludwig I had a strong artistic and architectural interest. He was responsible for a new urban planning of Munich which saw not only new buildings but whole areas transformed into the new neo-classical style. Under supervision of architects Leo von Klenze and Friedrich von Gärtner, planning and layout of the Feldherrenhalle, Siegestor, the Königsplatz with Glyptothek and the Alte and Neue Pinakothek were all realised during the reign of Ludwig I.
