During a major reconstruction, one of the most prestigious real estates in Munich was equipped with safety and security systems from Bosch. The company implemented a comprehensive security solution in the “Palais an der Oper”, formerly known as the “Residenzpost”, which had been one of Munich’s main post offices. Bosch will also be responsible for ongoing maintenance of these systems.
The “Palais an der Oper” leaves a strong imprint on historic Max-Joseph square in Munich, being neighboured by the opera house and the former royal castle. In the course of a major redevelopment, the building underwent complete reconstruction, while the heritage-protected facade with its characteristic arcades designed by Leo von Klenze was completely preserved.
Stuttgart based LBBW Immobilien GmbH and Accumulata Immobilien Development GmbH, Munich, have then sold the “Palais an der Oper” to a group of private investors – details were not disclosed. Since completion in June 2013, the “Palais an der Oper” is home of exclusive shops and restaurants, upmarket offices and luxurious apartments.
Fire protection in the "Palais" is guaranteed by the Modular Fire Panel 5000 Series from Bosch, while a Dynacord sound and evacuation system eases smooth evacuation of the staircases in case of fire. Further, Bosch installed access control and intrusion detection systems as well as a BOS indoor radio. Day and night cameras operated via the Video Management System BVMS are used to monitor the entire site.
Bosch was also awarded some contracts with individual business renters within the “Palais an der Oper”. Due to the luxury ambience of the shops these required sophisticated planning to ensure safety without sacrificing optics. For such demanding environments, Bosch offers its Smoke Detector 500 Series which can seamlessly integrate into ceilings and also adapt to the ceiling’s colour.
