The Müllerstraße is a city road in Munich that the Glockenbachviertel and Gärtnerplatzviertel from the Old Town separates.

location

Müllerstraße runs from Sendlinger-Tor-Platz in an arch that is pronounced to the south and joins Rumfordstraße after 770 meters. The buildings on the north side of the street belong to Munich's old town. The buildings on the south side belong to two different parts of the city: to the west of Fraunhoferstraße the Glockenbachviertel, to the east of it the Gärtnerplatzviertel.

description

Müllerstrasse is considered a party mile. Numerous clubs and bars such as the Pimpernel , the MC Müller or the Ochsengarten are located on it . The latter is - opened in 1967 - the first leather bar in Germany. Entry is reserved for men, and Freddie Mercury also stayed here. Müllerstraße is an important place for the Munich gay scene. The Gay Communication and Culture Center (SUB) has its advice center at number 14, and the Gay Outdoor Club Munich , the lesbian-gay section of the German Alpine Club , is also located here.

Until recently, there have been repeated reports about the gentrification of the street and the adjacent neighborhoods, for example on the occasion of the renovation of an old thermal power station into the residential high-rise building The Seven (with a square meter price of up to 22,000 euros) in Müllerstraße 7. In addition, old ones closed Bars on Müllerstraße like the gay club Bau (with darkroom ) and the bank , to give way to so-called hipster shops .

A plaque for the poet Franz Stelzhamer hangs at number 11 . Little Teddy Recordings' office is on the third floor of this building : Liam Lynch , Pete And The Pirates and Stereo Total have already released their records under this label. The migration and cultural center Bellevue di Monaco , which opened in 2018, is located at house numbers 2–6 .

Tram lines 16, 17 and N17 run on Müllerstraße . It is part of the Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt cultural history trail .

history

The Müllerstraße is named after the numerous mills that stood on the streams in front of the city. These streams were not drained in the 19th century. This was also where the “women's outdoor pool in the bathing establishment on Müllerstrasse” was located.

The former “Optical Institute” by Joseph von Utzschneider , later in March, is located at Müllerstraße 40 , a palatial, classical building, richly structured and decorated, built in 1829 by Joseph Höchl ; On the house facade a figure of Mary and a bust each depicting Fraunhofer and Utzschneider , by Halbig, marked with the year 1866.

At Müllerstraße 7 , at the location of "The Seven", the tower of a disused thermal power station that was converted into Munich's most expensive apartments, there was initially the Bavarian military hospital and then the Luitpold grammar school until it was destroyed by bombs in 1944 . Albert Einstein went to school there from 1888 to 1894. During the time of the Munich Soviet Republic in April 1919, the grammar school was the scene of an act of violence when the “Red Army” killed ten supporters of the ethnic Thule Society . The Freikorps retaliated in early May 1919 with merciless terror and multiple murders. In 1940/41 the bunker Müllerstraße was built there and then from 1954–1956 the heating plant Müllerstraße.

Until the restricted area ordinance in preparation for the 1972 Olympic Games , Müllerstraße was still part of the dingy district from the train station to the Isartor and the place of street prostitution . And for the next two decades, too, the district was regarded as a broken glass district , where marginal groups and artists settled because of the poor building fabric and therefore low rents. Gentrification began in the 1990s, and since 2010 only remnants of the former colorful residents have survived.
