The Donnersbergerstraße (often incorrectly Donnersbergerstraße written) is a street in the Munich district of Neuhausen in the district Neuhausen-Nymphenburg . It connects Rotkreuzplatz with Arnulfstrasse in a north-south direction . It is named after the privy councilor and supreme chancellor of the Bavarian Elector Maximilian I , Joachim Freiherr von Donnersberg (1561–1650), who came from the Munich patrician family of the Donnersbergs.

history

Originally the street was called Sendlinger Weg or Kirchweg because Neuhausen was not a separate parish and the services took place in Sendling until 1871 . This path went along today's Donnersbergerstraße, led slightly to the east at the level of the current Richelstraße, crossed the railroad tracks approximately at the level of Maillingerstraße , merged into Bergmannstraße and on to the old Sendlinger church. On June 1, 1877, the Neuhauser municipality changed the name to Uhlmannstraße , named after the hops dealer Jakob Uhlmann (1829 to 1895) from Fürth, which owns the local land and were out of the way the road had be produced. It wasn't a paved road, but a paved dirt road. Uhlmann also owned houses and building sites in Nymphenburger and Schulstrasse. After Neuhausen was incorporated into Munich, the name was changed to Donnersbergerstraße with effect from January 1, 1895 . In 1896 a new avenue with 200 maple trees was planted, the previous avenue with spherical acacias was excavated and re-established in the east cemetery . If you look at the structural development of the street, it is noticeable that around 1875 construction began hesitantly only on the eastern side of the street. From 1893 onwards, only the workers' houses , namely their 3rd construction phase between Hirschbergstrasse and Schluderstrasse, bordered on Donnersbergerstrasse on the west side .

The big building boom started at the beginning of the 20th century. In addition to the numerous private and rentier houses, the railway cooperatives built their large apartment blocks on the west side. Until 1908, Donnersbergerstrasse was not paved. The house owners were obliged to spray the street with water when it was dry.

The first local means of transport that drove through Donnersbergerstrasse was the number 31 bus, which ran from the wholesale market hall to Rotkreuzplatz. However, it was only in operation for two months, from January to March 1913, then it was discontinued due to unprofitability. From 1920 to 1970 tram line 22 drove from Nikolaiplatz to Harras through Donnersbergerstraße and over the bridge of the same name.

During the air raids in World War II, the northern part of the road was badly affected, the southern part got off more lightly. Until the completion of the new Donnersbergerbrücke in the 1972 Olympic year , Donnersbergerstraße was part of the Middle Ring , with the result that almost all the front gardens were removed.

Because of its unusually high density of restaurants, Donnersbergerstrasse was once a downright entertainment mile. In 1913 there were no fewer than 16 restaurants on the 800 meters between Rotkreuzplatz and Donnersbergerbrücke. These were all simple workers' economies, the clientele of which consisted almost exclusively of residents of Donnersbergerstrasse and its side streets. During the inflation years 1920–24, eight restaurants were closed. In 1923 the dance and concert venue Kolibri was built in Donnersbergerstraße 42 from the Centralhalle . The hummingbird's heyday came in the 1950s. It became a well-known meeting place for young people, as well-known bands from the Munich rock 'n' roll scene played there. The later Carnival Prince and long-time court marshal of the Narrhalla , Vittorio Casagrande , played there with his band, the Rivieras . Absolute top bands played in the Kolibri until the early 1960s . The history workshop Neuhausen eV therefore gave the Donnersbergerstraße the name Neuhauser Reeperbahn at that time . In 1964 the Kolibri was closed. A Tengelmann branch was operated in the premises until 2004 . Today, after the renovation, there is a doctor's practice.

Development after 1970

After the completion of the Donnersbergerbrücke in 1972 and the new route of the Mittlerer Ring through Landshuter Allee , the Donnersbergerstraße lost its importance. The numerous dance halls had meanwhile been closed and a lack of investment activity left the building fabric, consisting of numerous listed old buildings, neglected in places. Instead, the area around Donnersbergerstrasse was long considered an inexpensive, yet central, residential area in Munich.

In the 1980s, the city of Munich carried out renovation measures in Donnersbergerstrasse. In the course of this, the northern part from the Wilderich-Lang-Straße was redesigned from 1981 to 1982. The roadway was reduced to a residential street, the sidewalks were widened and numerous avenue trees were planted. Only the southern section between Wilderich-Langstrasse and Arnulfstrasse remained in its original state for the time being, as evidenced by the remains of the former tram tracks until 2003.

In spring 2004 the redesign of the southern part of the street began. In order to counter the general shortage of parking spaces in the district, the building department of the city of Munich decided after years of searching for a concept for a solution that was unprecedented to date: fully automatic parking under the street. In June 2006, the Donnersbergerstrasse residential car park with a total of 284 parking spaces was finally put into operation. The investments totaled € 11 million and were partially financed by the City of Munich's parking space transfer .

With the completion of the residential underground car park and the restoration of the surface, a decade-long period of redesigning Donnersbergerstrasse ended. Since then, the district has increasingly turned into a focal point for real estate investments due to its central, easily accessible and yet quiet location. The annual street festival is very popular.

traffic

Today, Donnersbergerstrasse is virtually traffic-calmed, as it has no longer been possible to drive through to Nymphenburger Strasse since the renovation of Rotkreuzplatz. The street takes on a function as a collection street for the surrounding areas and as a feeder to the Kaufhof underground car park on Rotkreuzplatz.

Large parts of Munich and the motorways can be reached via the nearby Mittlerer Ring.

The lack of parking spaces was taken into account with the construction of the residents' underground car park and the introduction of a parking license area.

Donnersbergerstrasse is served by public transport in the south from the stops of the same name on tram lines 16 and 17 and bus lines 53 and 63 . From the north, the street is accessed by the Rotkreuzplatz underground station ( U1 ) and tram line 12 . At the Donnersbergerbrücke there is a connection to all S-Bahn lines and to the Bayerische Oberlandbahn (BOB).
