The Monacensia, or Monacensia in Hildebrandhaus, is the literary archive and a research library of the city of Munich, the capital of Bavaria, Germany, which is devoted to preserving and providing public access to the city's cultural history. The name Monacensia is derived from the Latin name for Munich. The collection was begun in the 1920s. Since 1977 it has been housed in a mansion, known as the Hildebrandhaus, which was originally designed by the German sculptor Adolf von Hildebrand (1847–1921) for his large artistic family. The Monacensia is one of the special libraries administered by the Munich City Library and its collections are accessible via the library website.
