Schaetzerpalais Augsburg

In the location's words:

Schaetzerpalais

Located right next to the Hercules Fountain in Maximilianstraße, the Schaezlerpalais is Augsburg's most important and best-preserved private residential and commercial building of the 18th century. This is not the only reason why this rococo gem is a must-see for anyone visiting Augsburg. The bourgeois palace, completed in 1770, is also home to numerous collections of paintings and sights.

The second floor houses the German Baroque Gallery and an impressive enfilade (baroque suite of rooms) of more than 100 meters, which finally leads into the famous Rococo Festival Hall .

On the second floor of the building, the Augsburg Art Collections & Museums present special exhibitions on a wide range of themes several times a year alongside the paintings of the Karl and Magdalene Haberstock Foundation.

Part of the Steiner Collection, an extensive collection of reverse glass paintings from the 18th century, can be admired on the first floor of the Schaezlerpalais. It is directly adjacent to the café and Liebertzimmer, which invite visitors to linger.

The palace's rococo garden , which was designed in 2005 according to historical findings, is a popular place to relax in the center of the city and is also open to everyone who is not visiting the museum.

The Schaezlerpalais ticket also provides access to the Staatsgalerie Alte Meister in the Katharinenkirche (closed until further notice for technical reasons! As of 012024), a branch gallery of the Pinakotheken. It includes paintings from the Augsburg and Swabian schools of the late Middle Ages and the early Renaissance, the great period of Augsburg painting.
