The Hohenzollernplatz is a place in the district of Schwabing in Munich . It was named after the noble family Hohenzollern in 1900 and is a paved square, planted with linden trees, but without green spaces . In the middle is a fountain by Alfred Aschauer (1980).

location

The Hohenzollernplatz is on the north side of the Hohenzollernstrasse . Mittermayrstrasse and Erich-Kästner-Strasse meet the square from the north. The Tengstraße ends from the south, the Emanuelstraße and the Rankestraße coming from the east at Hohenzollernplatz. It is open to the south. The rest of the area (east, west, north) consists of residential developments with various shops on the ground floors.

traffic

Hohenzollernplatz is a traffic junction in Schwabing with an underground station on the U2 line , two tram lines, a bus connection and some night lines.

Subway station

The station of the same name, which opened on October 10, 1980, is located in a north-south position in a slight curve under Hohenzollernplatz and Erich-Kästner-Straße. The architectural design is functional, like most of the underground stations in Munich that were built during this period. The originally planned air raid shelter for 300 people was not implemented due to falling subsidies.
