location

Garmischer Strasse is about four kilometers west of Munich city center and crosses the districts of Schwanthalerhöhe and Sendling-Westpark from north to south. It is the boundary of the Munich environmental zone.

Coming from the north, Garmischer Strasse is first characterized by its trough location . This is followed by a green belt with allotments and the intersection-free end of the A 96 in Westpark . To the south of it, as far as Luise-Kiesselbach-Platz , Garmischer Strasse is densely built with multi-storey apartments (four to five storeys). In this area, streets connecting districts will follow in quick succession. The traffic volume is correspondingly at the crossing points.

course

Garmischer Strasse begins at the southern Trappentreutunnel exit of Trappentreustrasse in the Schwanthalerhöhe district. From here there is a connection to the Neuhausen-Nymphenburg district .

Garmischer Strasse runs down here and runs in a south-westerly direction without any intersections. After 100 meters, it crosses under the Munich Südring (railway) and merges into the Sendling-Westpark district. The exit and driveway to Tübinger Strasse / Landaubogen are located here. Before crossing Tübinger Strasse / Landaubogen, Hansastrasse crosses Garmischer Strasse without its own entrance.

Now Garmischer Strasse has returned to normal ground level and crosses the allotment gardens of the “Land in der Sonne” settlement in a south-south-west direction. This is followed by the Munich Sendling motorway junction (39) of the A 96 in the direction of Lindau (Lake Constance) . The E 54 from Paris also joins here . From here the intersections with Garmischer Straße are at the same height and are controlled by traffic lights.

After crossing under the Westparkbrücke, the Luise-Kiesselbach-Tunnel , which opened on July 27, 2015, tunnels Garmischer Strasse .

After the completion of the tunnel, the surface was redesigned. There is only one lane with numerous parking bays in each direction of travel. There is also a wide central promenade, which is greened with trees. There are also trees on the outside of the street.

After the Krüner Strasse intersection, the route reaches the Ehrwalder Strasse / Treffauerstrasse junction. Following the further course towards the south, Garmischer Strasse ends at the intersection of Waldfriedhofstrasse / Albert-Rosshaupter-Strasse. This is where the Luise-Kiesselbach-Platz begins, from which there is a connection via the Mittlerer Ring towards Sendling or via the A95 towards Garmisch-Partenkirchen .

traffic

In the northern area up to the A 96, Garmischer Strasse has a traffic volume of 123,000 vehicles per day; in the southern area up to Luise-Kiesselbach-Platz it had a traffic volume of 103,000 vehicles per day until the tunnel was completed. After that, around 121,000 vehicles per day are in the tunnel and around 3,000 to 5,000 vehicles on the surface. expected.

In addition to numerous bus lines, the Westpark subway stop for the U6 is located at the Ehrwalder Straße / Treffauerstraße intersection .

history

Location of the "Middle Ring Southwest" project in the Middle Ring
Course of the road on the Mittlerer Ring after the completion of the Heckenstaller Strasse and Garmischer Strasse tunnels

Garmischer Strasse was a single-lane side street until the end of the 1950s. The southern area from Westpark to Luise-Kiesselbach-Platz was developed from 1962 to 1963 with six lanes and not free of intersections. In 1973 the northern section of Heimeranplatz followed through the Westpark and the route integrated into the newly created Mittlerer Ring.

From 1980 to 1984 the Trappentreut Tunnel was built . In this context, the northern end of Garmischer Strasse was moved into the tunnel.

Middle Ring Southwest project

Since the 1970s at the latest, there have been plans to move the Middle Ring underground in southwest Munich. When the Westpark underground station was built (opened in 1983), the construction of a road tunnel was already included in the planning. At the end of the 1980s, the engineering structure was completely planned. At the coalition negotiations on red-green in the Munich city council in 1990, however, at the insistence of the smaller coalition partner , the SPD and the Greens agreed not to pursue any further tunnel projects for the Middle Ring. In the first Munich referendum entitled “The Middle Ring needs three tunnels” on June 23, 1996, the Munich voters decided with a narrow majority in favor of a further expansion of the Middle Ring. After the Petuel , Effner and Richard Strauss Tunnels , the southwest section is the last construction phase of this referendum.

The "Middle Ring Southwest" project has been divided into five lots. The section of the A 96 up to the future northern tunnel entrance represented the construction lot A. To the east of the existing bridge over the A 96 an additional bridge was built for the carriageway towards the motorway. On the east side of the northern tunnel ramp, a five-meter-high noise barrier was built.

The section south of it to Luise-Kiesselbach-Platz forms section B. This runs as a tunnel under Garmischer Strasse. The tunnel is run with three lanes each in two tunnel tubes.

During the construction work, at least three lanes per direction of travel, sidewalks, cycle paths and escape routes had to be available in the construction site area. The public transport had to be guaranteed as well as the accessibility of the delivery and supplier approaches. The construction work on the tunnel was completed in July 2015, the work on the surface will continue until 2017. The costs of the “Mittlerer Ring Südwest” construction project with Garmischer Strasse and tunnel, Luise-Kiesselbach-Platz and Heckenstallerstrasse and tunnel as well as the various entrances and exits amount to € 373 million.

Remarks

  1. ↑ Garmischer Strasse as part of the Mittlerer Ring is the outer boundary for the environmental zone of the city of Munich established on October 1, 2008 . However, it does not belong to this in order to avoid disadvantageous shifts in the flow of traffic.
  2. ↑ Forecast traffic figures for 2015. They come from the expert opinion for the planning approval from 1999, prepared by Professor Kurzak.
