At the time of its creation, in 1614, the city’s urban structure was still predominated by the late Gothic style. The building was erected by Augsburg’s chief architect Elias Holl (1573–1646) in the immediate neighborhood of his Italian-style City Hall (1615–20). Both projects, the Neue Bau and the City Hall, belonged to a sophisticated program of the city center’s renovation around 1600. This master thesis studies the building’s appearance under the special aspect of the influence from the Italian Cinquecento architecture. The structure of the thesis is divided into three parts: The first part focuses on the cultural relationship between Augsburg and Italy and reconsiders Holl’s contacts with Italian Renaissance architecture, from visual experience on his journey to Venice in winter 1600/01 and from major Italian treatises of the time. Holl’s Italian journey, albeit very short, represents an important parallel to the two trips undertaken by his famous English colleague Inigo Jones (1573–1646). The importance of Holl’s Italian travel and its influence on the Neue Bau will be re- searched in detail. The second part reviews the building’s history. Its original appearance will be reconstructed, which also means to consider the rebuilding after World War II. The third part analyzes the form and order system and re-examines the important Italian Cinquecento city palaces, which influenced the building’s design. In particular, Bramante’s Palazzo Caprini in Rome (ca. 1510), the Venetian city palaces and edifices designed by Michele Sanmicheli (1484–1559), Jacopo Sansovino (1486–1570) and Andrea Palladio (1508–80) will be discussed. As another principal source for the Neue Bau, Sebastiano Serlio’s architectural treatise (Venice 1584) will be surveyed. To understand the meaning of the façade design of the Neue Bau and its significance in the urban context of the Perlachplatz, the similar square renovation of the Italian Renaissance and the early seventeenth-century urban renovation program in Augsburg will be also reviewed in this chapter.

The former institute director Uni-Prof. Dr. Dethard von Winterfeld has aroused my strong interest to study the architecture and current director Uni-Prof. Dr. Matthias Müller has inspired my special favor in dealing with the German late Gothic and early Renaissance art, whom I shall address my gratitude. For the completion of this study I am deeply indebted to my thesis advisor, Professor Candida Syndikus at the Institute of Art History/NTNU, who gave me many suggestions and indications to develop the structure and content of this research. Without her kind and patient help this research might not have been well completed. Hereby, I would also like to thank Prof. Bernd Roeck at the Universität in Zürich and PD Dr. Christoph Hölz at the Universität in Innsbruck for their helpful recommendations to this topic, which is related to detailed points in this study. I also express my gratitude to all members of the GIAH at NTNU, Prof. Dr. Shai- Shu Tzeng and Dr. Valentin Nussbaum, for their kind deepening of my knowledge in the field of art history, Ms. Yun-Yun Tsou for her nice helps in the institute office. Moreover, the professors and teachers in my study years in Mainz are quite important for forging my knowledge on the art history: Prof. Dr. Michael Bringmann, Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Brönner, Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Oy-Marra, PD Dr. Claudia Annette Meier, Dr. Günther Stanzl, Dr. Klaus T. Weber, Dr. Gabriele Kiesewetter, Dr. Christoph Reske and Lorenz Frank MA. The whole team of the Staats- und Stadtbibliothek Augsburg, particularly Ms. Uta Wolf, has offered me great help in literature study. I never forget their hospitality and kind assistance during my visit there in 2012. Twelve years between Mainz and Taipei are a long study period. Especially, I would like to dedicate this study to my parents and my aunt. They raised me up and were quite tolerant with my long-term study. Though in the heavenly world, they might be happy to know the finish of this study. My full gratitude goes also to my sister, nephew Thorsten and Mr. and Mrs. Kühl in Bad Wörishofen for constantly giving me the encouragements during
