Prinz-Ludwigs-Höhe villa colony

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The villa colony Prinz-Ludwigs-Höhe (officially: Prinz Ludwigshöhe ) is a villa colony in the south of Munich .

location

The villa colony is located in the districts of Thalkirchen and Solln in the south of Munich on the banks of the Isar. The Isar slope itself forms the eastern border of the settlement, with the gardens of the villas built on the high bank also extending down the Isar slope and over to a narrow strip at its foot through which the Wenzbach flows. The southern border forms the railway line leading to the Großhesseloher Bridge . In the north, Josephinenstrasse is the last street in the settlement, followed by the grounds of the Martha Maria Hospital . In the west, the villa colony extends to Wolfratshauser Strasse .

Surname

The villa colony took its name from the " Waldrestauration Prinz Ludwigshöhe ", an excursion inn surrounded by forest, which, like Gutshof Menterschwaige, was on the opposite side of the Isar directly on the banks of the Isar. “Prince Ludwig” refers to the son of the Prince Regent Luitpold , who later became King Ludwig III. From 1893 there was also a station for the Isar Valley Railway called Prinz-Ludwigshöhe near the inn .

history

Villa Pössenbacher Strasse 21
Villa Borscht

Towards the end of the 19th century, the terraced companies founded by Jakob Heilmann acquired land south of Munich in the then still independent communities of Solln and Thalkirchen. On the area east of the Munich – Holzkirchen railway line , the Prinz-Ludwigs-Höhe villa colony was built, and the Solln villa colony to the west of the railway line .

First of all, from 1895 onwards, the area in the corner between the Isar high bank and the road to Großhesselohe branching off from Wolfratshauser Straße was built on. This area belonged to the then still independent municipality Thalkirchen, which was incorporated into Munich in 1900 . The Großhesseloher Straße formed the border with the neighboring municipality of Solln.

On the east side of the Isar Valley Railway, Heilmannstraße was laid along the tracks roughly parallel to the Isar high bank instead of a path that had already been there. On the west side of the railway line, Albertstraße (today Knotestraße) ran parallel to the tracks. Between Albertstrasse and Großhesseloher Strasse, a network of streets running approximately at right angles to one another in a slight curve emerged, of which the streets parallel to Großhesseloher Strasse and the latter lead onto Albertstrasse at an acute angle.

The largest (and most expensive) properties were located east of Heilmannstrasse, from where one could look down into the Isar valley, and mostly contained the main property on the high terrace, the steep slope and a smaller strip on the lower Isar terrace. The smallest plots (approx. 130–450 m²) were along Josefinenstrasse on the northern edge of the villa colony. Sometimes Littmann had villas built himself, which were then sold along with the property, and sometimes the buyers only bought the property and built their own house there.

From the beginning of the 20th century, the area between Großhesseloher Straße and Wolfratshauser Straße was developed, which was located in the area of ​​the then still independent municipality of Solln, which was not incorporated into Munich until 1938. The main traffic axes in this area were Albertstraße (today Heinrich-Vogel-Straße), which at Großhesseloher Straße bend to the west from its course along the Isar Valley Railway (today part of Knotestraße and Ludwigshöher Straße), and Albrecht-Dürer-Straße (today Irmgardstraße ) in north-south direction.
