Location of the city district 2 Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt in Munich
|
Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt is the city district 2 of the Bavarian capital Munich .
The city district consists of the districts Ludwigsvorstadt and Isarvorstadt .
location
The city district was created in 1992 from the amalgamation of Ludwigsvorstadt southwest of the city center with the three Isarvorstadt districts Isarvorstadt / Schlachthofviertel, Isarvorstadt / Glockenbachviertel and Isarvorstadt / Deutsches Museum southeast of it and encompasses the southern part of the old town like a clasp. With the green belt along the Isar , the old southern cemetery and the Theresienwiese , the district includes significant open spaces and green areas in the southern inner city area.
The boundaries of the city district form from north to east the streets Arnulf- , Sonnen- , Müller- , Rumford- and Zweibrückenstraße, in the southeast the Isar , in the southwest the railway tracks of the Munich Südring and in the west the Theresienhöhe and the Hackerbrücke. The border between the two districts Ludwigsvorstadt and Isarvorstadt runs along Lindwurmstrasse . Since this is a continuation of Sendlinger Straße, which forms the border between Hacken- and Angerviertel in the old town , the Ludwigsvorstadt was originally called the outer Hackenviertel and the Isarvorstadt was called the outer Angerviertel . The southern part of the Museum Island (south of the Ludwigsbrücke ) also belongs to the Isarvorstadt.
Neighboring districts are Maxvorstadt in the north, Altstadt-Lehel in the northeast, beyond the Isar Au-Haidhausen in the east and Untergiesing-Harlaching in the southeast, Sendling in the south and the Schwanthalerhöhe in the west.
History and structure today
The structures and functions of the urban district are influenced by the development history and vary greatly depending on the district: The station district around the main train station was largely destroyed by Allied air raids in World War II and rebuilt with residential and commercial buildings after the war. In addition to many wholesalers and retailers, there are numerous hotels and restaurants, sex shops, computer and electronics stores and international snack bars in the vicinity of the station. The street scene is heavily influenced by immigrants, especially from Turkey. In the Wiesenviertel with the Theresienwiese as the Oktoberfest venue, which was designed in the middle of the 19th century as a representative villa and apartment building district, the office space predominates today. The most striking building is the neo-Gothic Paulskirche . To the east of the Wiesnviertel is the clinic quarter , which is characterized by the buildings of the downtown clinics of the Ludwig Maximilians University . The station and clinic districts are connected by Schillerstrasse .
In 1819 the Isarvorstadt only had 2,300 inhabitants and comprised 183 houses and 19 state or municipal buildings. Because of the numerous streams, millers, gardeners, milkmen, washers, bleachers, carpenters, raft masters, horse traders and day laborers lived here in often poor dwellings. The town's Pechsieder lived in today's Palmstrasse (then Pechwinkel) . The old crushing and plague house for the seriously ill was located between two city streams between Baumstrasse and Auenstrasse . Another crushing house was located on today's Erhardtstrasse. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Bavarian Army moved into the Isarvorstadt. On the north side of Zweibrückenstrasse was the gallows of the Bavarian military justice . A military hospital was built on Müllerstrasse in 1775. The Electoral Isar Barracks was built on today's Museum Island (at that time Coal Island). On the opposite side of the Isar, King Maximilian I built the heavy rider barracks in 1811 . King Maximilian II had a riding school built on Kohlstrasse in 1854 on the site of today's patent offices. In addition, three powder mills were built in the Isarvorstadt and several artillery workshops in Geyerstrasse. There were also numerous gardens such as the Herzog-Alberti-Lustgarten, the Claude-Clair-Garten, the Buttermelchgarten and the Wollgarten. There are also some town palaces, such as that of the court surgeon Dominikus Geyer am Pesenbach, the Ruffinischlössl, the Jagdschlössl on Fraunhoferstraße and the Leopoldschössl on Blumenstraße. During the Wilhelminian expansion of the city, the Schlachthof , Dreimühlen , Glockenbach and Gärtnerplatz districts emerged as tenement and commercial districts. With the slaughterhouse and cattle yard and the leather and textile companies, numerous Jews came mainly from Galicia and the Isarvorstadt became Munich's Jewish quarter. In addition, numerous brothels established themselves. In the Weimar Republic , the NSDAP began its rise here. During the Second World War, the industrial suburb of the Isar was the target of the Allied bombing raids. 226 buildings and 3,135 apartments were destroyed.
The remaining rental buildings from the Wilhelminian era still have a very high, mostly well-kept old building stock. With the expansion of the city center and the conversion of abandoned industrial and commercial areas, the traditional commercial structure of the district changed and the service sector was able to establish itself as a major job provider in these districts. The Munich slaughterhouse is still of great economic importance for Munich with the meat wholesale market and the numerous wholesalers and retailers of the butcher's trade and the supplier area.
The social structure in individual districts is changing due to the modernization and renovation of older residential buildings and the associated sharp rise in rent levels, as well as the construction of condominiums on former commercial sites (see also gentrification ). This process is most clearly visible in the former residential quarters of the “common people” in the Glockenbach and Schlachthof districts. In large parts of the Glockenbach and Gärtnerplatz districts you can now almost exclusively find residents with high incomes. Both parts of the city are now among the most expensive in town. The conversion of the former employment office by designer Philippe Starck and the immediately adjacent former AOK building into the Isar City Palace are cited as special examples of gentrification in Munich. The thermal power station on Müllerstrasse was converted into the luxury residential property The Seven , which, when first moved in in 2014, included the most expensive apartments in the city.
Furthermore, both quarters are considered centers of the gay scene. In contrast to the change in the Glockenbach- and Gärtnerplatzviertel, other parts of the city district have a relatively high number of unemployed and welfare recipients and a proportion of foreigners that is above the city average.
