The Schiller Street in Munich is a 700 m long road in north-south direction in the district Ludwigsvorstadt downtown. It starts at the intersection with Bayerstraße at Bahnhofplatz near Munich Central Station and runs in a straight line to Nussbaumstraße in the clinic district. Schillerstraße is the first parallel street to the Altstadtring outside of the medieval old town. It is named after Friedrich Schiller and runs parallel to the neighboring Goethestrasse to the west .

character

The street begins with an entrance to the Hauptbahnhof underground station and a taxi rank. Its northern part is to be assigned to the station district with all relevant effects, with a mixture of hotels , amusement arcades , ethnic grocery stores, social facilities and snack bars as well as the red light scene with erotic shops and night clubs .

The hotel density in Schillerstraße is higher than in any other Münchner Straße, so that in 2019 the city administration announced a hotel concept for the southern Bahnhofsviertel as a result of a further construction project. There, 60% of all hotel beds in the city are concentrated on 0.2% of the city's area. The city is aiming for a mixed use of commercial and around 30% residential use, but the existing development plans allow 100% commercial and especially hotels.

This section is strongly influenced by migrants of various origins. In the backyards of Schillerstrasse, a double-digit number of small and tiny prayer rooms and mosques were used at times. However, since 2017 there has been no mosque in the district; they all had to close because the crowd overwhelmed the small rooms and fire protection regulations could not be observed.

The middle section around the intersections with Schwanthalerstrasse and Landwehrstrasse belonged to the so-called Schillicon Valley , which since the 1990s has been jokingly named after Schillerstrasse because of the many computer and electronics stores based on Californian Silicon Valley . Since 2005, the density of electronics stores has been falling sharply. A courtyard that connects Schillerstrasse with Goethestrasse, and all of the associated buildings, is the seat of the Guild for Electrical and Information Technology in Munich. Due to the narrow development and to calm the traffic, the northern and central parts up to Landwehrstraße are designated as one-way streets in north-south direction.

The south is assigned to the clinic district of the inner city clinic of the University of Munich . The physiological and other institutes, a student union cafeteria and company apartments for the staff of the clinics are located on Schillerstraße . An ambulance is stationed at the Institute for Emergency Medicine and Medical Management . Even if the main entrances are on Pettenkoferstraße and Nussbaumstraße, Schillerstraße is also characterized by the side wing of the anatomical institute , a neoclassical wing with a domed central complex, built in 1905-08 by Max Littmann , and the surgical clinic. Schillerstrasse ends bluntly at Nussbaumstrasse; Opposite it, the new portal clinic of the inner city clinic will be built by 2020. The southernmost hundred meters of the street are closed to general motorized traffic and belong to the restricted-access part of the clinic premises.

As part of the redesign of the clinic quarter after the move of most of the facilities to the Großhadern campus in 2012, the surgical clinic will be closed and its function, like that of most other inner city clinics, will be combined in a new portal clinic, which will be built on the property at the end of Schillerstraße .

history

The middle section of today's Schillerstraße between today's Pettenkoferstraße and Schwanthalerstraße was already marked as Sing-Straße in the urban plans at the beginning of the 19th century , but was initially only used for gardens due to its location on the edge of the built-up area. Like the whole district, it was originally designed for loose development with villas on spacious lots. The character did not change until the second half of the 19th century.

In 1825 Leo von Klenze built the Alte Anatomie at the southern end, near the general hospital . Until around 1830, the development expanded from what was then Reberstrasse, then briefly Lerchenstrasse, today's Schwanthalerstrasse to Sing Strasse and southwards.

The section of Ludwigsvorstadt called Schwanthalerquartier was redesigned in the middle of the 19th century in connection with the construction of the Centralbahnhof in 1849 as an urban residential and commercial district. The Sing-Straße was broken through to the north to the station square and built on according to plan. In 1860 it was renamed Schillerstraße and in the following years it was extended south to today's Nussbaumstraße. In 1865 the parallel Heustraße was renamed Goethestraße when Ludwigvorstadt was expanded to the west. In the following years, the neighboring Wiesenviertel to the west was designed as a high-quality, green residential area on the eastern part of the Theresienwiese , and Goethestrasse was upgraded to become a north-south axis. As part of the development of the Wiesenviertel from the 1880s, it was later moved in the southern section west of the hospital to Lindwurmstrasse and the new Goetheplatz.

The house of the Adam family of painters in what was then Sing-Strasse has been documented since 1829 . By the First World War , Schillerstrasse had developed into an artists' quarter; around 1890 there were at least 18 studios on four neighboring properties, seven of which were in the rear building at number 26. On February 8, 1880, the painter Franz Marc was born in Schillerstrasse 35.

In the Schillerstraße, due to severe destruction in the Second World War, little of the original late Biedermeier and neoclassical buildings has been preserved. Klenze's Alte Anatomie had to be demolished due to war damage, and the building line on the east side was set back in order to widen the road for traffic. Two residential buildings from this period are listed as historical monuments . At the corner of Schillerstraße and Pettenkoferstraße there is a Baroque-style building that was built in 1899 as a station for a substation with a transformer for Munich's early electrical power supply and today houses a university institute. Other preserved buildings date from the early 20th century and the Art Nouveau and Neo-Renaissance . The majority of today's buildings were built in the simplest and cheapest way of building during the reconstruction after the Second World War.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Julius Friedrich Lehmann founded his original medical specialist publisher at Schillerstraße 51 in the Klinikviertel, which soon also published folkish and racial writings and was one of the pioneers of National Socialism in Munich . In the post-war period, a number of music clubs developed in and around Schillerstraße, aimed specifically at the white GIs of the American occupation forces. They played rock 'n' roll and boogie woogie . The clubs were influential in developing a musical culture among the young German population.

On April 4, 1977, Bayerischer Rundfunk showed a 45-minute long film by Georg Friedel about Schillerstrasse in the series Unter Unser Himmel , which was shown again on December 15, 2009. It mainly describes the life of guest workers , who in the late 1970s were still viewed as migrant workers and not as immigrants .

On January 7, 1984 , the two terrorists of the Ludwig group carried out an arson attack on the Liverpool Red Light Club on Schillerstrasse . A young woman died three months later from her injuries.
