Alfons-Hoffmann-Altenheim

The Alfons-Hoffmann-Altenheim (also referred to as the Alfons-Hoffmann-Haus) is a municipal nursing and retirement home at Agnes-Bernauer-Straße 185 in the Pasing district of Munich, Germany. It was built between 1954 and 1957 to designs by the architects Felix Büttner and Hans Högg as a city old people's home. The complex is composed of several wings of staggered height; on the western side the residential tracts enclose an inner courtyard, while toward the southeast the complex opens onto parkland. Among its most notable interior spaces are the glazed entrance hall with a curved gallery (Empore) and a large theatre hall in the south wing with extensive window fronts. A small house chapel is integrated into the east wing, its altar adorned with a bronze crucifix by the Zwiesel sculptor Wolf Hirtreiter. The building was formerly listed as a protected monument. In the late 1990s the operator, the city-owned Münchenstift company, decided to modernise the home. To keep operations running during the works, a temporary building was erected, and in 2006 part of the old building was demolished. Since 2007 the home has offered self-contained residential units for 11 to 14 residents each. Today it operates as one of the facilities of Münchenstift GmbH, the municipal care company of the City of Munich, providing assisted living and nursing care for seniors in the Pasing area.

The Alfons-Hoffmann-Altenheim was constructed between 1954 and 1957 according to plans by the architects Felix Büttner and Hans Högg, serving as a municipal old people's home (städtisches Altersheim) in the Pasing district of Munich. The building is characterised by several wings of staggered height: the western residential tracts form an inner courtyard, while the complex opens toward the southeast into parkland. Notable interior features include the glazed entrance hall with a curved gallery and a large theatre hall in the south wing with extensive window fronts. A small house chapel is integrated into the east wing, with an altar adorned by a bronze crucifix created by the Zwiesel sculptor Wolf Hirtreiter. The building was formerly protected as a monument. In the late 1990s the operator, the city-owned Münchenstift company, decided to modernise the senior home. To maintain operations during the works, a temporary building was erected, and in 2006 part of the old building was demolished. Since 2007 the facility has provided self-contained residential units for groups of 11 to 14 residents. The home continues to operate under Münchenstift GmbH, the municipal care company of the City of Munich.
