Lothstrasse campus

The "Campus Lothstraße" of the Munich University of Applied Sciences is its largest location and comprises all central administrative units, nine faculties as well as the CAREER Center, the E-Learning Center, the advanced training center and the Open University of Upper Bavaria (OHO). These are located directly in buildings on Lothstrasse:

  • Lothstraße 13d: Central library and cafeteria
  • Lothstrasse 17: the armory is currently being renovated for use by the university
  • Lothstraße 21: the so-called "W-Bau", including workshops, studios and student rooms
  • Lothstraße 34: Supply technology, process engineering, printing and media technology (FK 05) and applied natural sciences and mechatronics (FK 06)
  • Lothstraße 64: Electrical engineering and information technology (FK 04), computer science and mathematics (FK 07) and industrial engineering (FK 09)

In 2004, the so-called “Red Cube” was completed in Lothstrasse 64, which has since also been a landmark of the University of Applied Sciences anchored in the corporate design.

history

The street was named in 1887 after the Bavarian court painter Johann Ulrich Loth (before 1599 to 1662). Towards the end of the 19th century, it formed the south-eastern boundary of the Oberwiesenfeld barracks district .

From 1879 to 1904 the Armory in Munich housed the Bavarian Army Museum at the suggestion of King Ludwig II at the suggestion of General Friedrich von Bothmer and the Minister of War Joseph Maximilian von Maillinger , before moving to the newly erected monumental building at the Hofgarten , today's State Chancellery.

Adolf Hitler lived at Lothstrasse 29 while he was a member of the infantry and officially stayed there until May 1, 1920. That is why the barracks in Lothstrasse bore the name Adolf-Hitler-Kaserne from the “ Führer Birthday ” in 1934 to the denazification in 1945 .
