Curious legal dispute: City of Munich inherits house – but without a wall. The owner died in 2007 and bequeathed the building to the city for a daycare center.
In reality, the Mahlerhaus of course has a gable wall, but when the current properties at Baumkirchner Straße 1 and 3 were divided in the early 1960s, the former owner Luise Mahler-Lenz seems to have placed the division line on the documents in an unfortunate manner.
