After the dissolution of the Jesuit order, the building housed the police department (1773 ), the Bavarian State Library (1774 ) and the Order of Malta (1781 ). As of 1783, the Bavarian Academy of Sciences was then placed in Wilhelminum, and from 1807 onwards, the Academy of Fine Arts with an Electoral painter, sculptor and art school. In 1826, the Ludwig- Maximilians- University was moved from Landshut to Munich and stayed until 1840 housed in the building of the Academy. The Wilhelminum fell in April 1944 the bombs to the victim. The building was built by Josef Wiedemann again housed the Academy in the northeast wing of the Munich Residenz.
