history

The Rotkreuzplatz emerged from a street crossing at the southern end of the former village of Neuhausen. The most important of these streets was the Fürstenweg (today's Nymphenburger Straße), which connected the residence with Nymphenburg Palace . Since this route was not allowed to be used by everyone, the Neuhauser Fahrweg (today Blutenburgstrasse) was built for carriage traffic. Since the Neuhausers belonged to the parish of Sendling until 1871 , there was still a church path (today Donnersbergerstraße ) that led to the Sendlinger church . The village of Neuhausen, which at the beginning of the 19th century had only about 30 properties, stretched north of the square along today's Winthirstraße . Today Wendl-Dietrich-Strasse, Schulstrasse and Leonrodstrasse still flow into the square. The square is decorated with two fountains, the Winthir Fountain (Ursula and Rudolf Wachter , 1955) as a replacement for the fountain of the same name by Theodor Fischer and Jakob Bradl (1901) and the Stone Couple ( Klaus Schultze , 1984), which was destroyed in the war.
The most noticeable building on Rotkreuzplatz is the nurses' home of the Bavarian Red Cross in the north at the nearby Rotkreuzkrankenhaus. The complex was built from 1887 by the Bavarian Women's Association of the Red Cross and put into operation on May 24, 1892. In 1903, the intersection in front of it was named Rotkreuzplatz after this hospital . The high-rise building that characterizes the square today was designed by Bruno Biehler in 1949 and later executed by Hubert Michel (completed in 1965). The hunting lodge stood in its place until it was destroyed in World War II. Almost all of the buildings on Rotkreuzplatz fell victim to the hail of bombs. In addition to the hunting lodge, the quarter also lost its landmark with the destruction of the magnificent neo-Romanesque building of the Winthirapotheke. One of the makeshift buildings from the post-war period still exists today: the "Zum Jagdschlössl" restaurant. The makeshift building of the traditional hardware store Forster, also built in the post-war period, existed until 2008 and had to make way for a new multi-storey building.
