| Abstract: | In the development of the court building office in Munich it can be shown that the political ambitions of the Elector Max Emanuel of Bavaria are crucial for the organization of his building administration. The instructions to the officials, the creation of the Generalbaudirektorium and the appointment of the court architect Joseph Effner also show the special challenges and problems of building administration. These become particularly clear in the instructions from the year 1655. The history of the Generalbaudirektorium makes it clear that the interest of the Elector was not in the efficiency of administration, but in competition with other princely courts. The representative claim was to be demonstrated by an extensive palace landscape around Munich. The very rapid construction progress of the projects could only be accomplished thanks to the special skills of Joseph Effner. The administration, on the other hand, seems to have been more of a bureaucratic obstacle! |
