Herzogspitalstrasse 12 (in the 19th century, 1139; now in the Altstadt district), this was the location of the Russian diplomatic mission, where Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev worked in 1822, 1837, 1839, and 1844. There were only a few mansions on this street. In the 19th century, houses in Munich were numbered not by streets, but by districts. The building has been preserved and now bears the number 12.
On July 3, 1999, a memorial plaque was installed on the building in honor of the great Russian poet, philosopher, and diplomat, who was a mediator between German and Russian cultures. In Russia, Tyutchev is considered one of the most prominent figures of Bavarian society, a wit and dandy, and a favorite among women. However, in the literary circles of Munich, his name was known to few.
According to local researcher Arkady Polonsky, the owner of the Russian representation building was royal lawyer Ludwig Jakob, who bought the house from the Catholic community in 1808 and rented the upper floor to the Russian mission. The first Russian envoy on Herzogspitalstrasse was Prince Ivan Baryatinsky, who was succeeded in 1815 by Count Fyodor Pahlen, brother of the assassin of Paul I. Seven years later, Ivan Vorontsov Dashkov became the envoy, who welcomed Tyutchev.
There are several addresses in Munich associated with the name F. I. Tyutchev.
