https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrannenhalle_(M%C3%BCnchen)

The Schrannenhalle in Munich was built between 1851 and 1853 by Karl Muffat as a grain hall on the edge of the old town near the Viktualienmarkt. It was the first iron-framed building in Munich. Its official name was Maximilians-Getreide-Halle (Maximilian's Grain Hall), while the colloquial term Schranne referred to a grain market at that time.

The hall was dismantled in the early 20th century and rebuilt on its original site between 2003 and 2005. After several changes of ownership, the building has housed the first German branch of the Italian gourmet food chain Eataly since the end of November 2015.[1]
