The “ Schwere Reiter - Tanz Theater ” cultural center has been located on the corner of Dachauer Strasse since 1993 , as well as the “Munich Center of Community Arts” (MUCCA) and other objects in the Schwabing creative quarter, which, according to the Süddeutscher Zeitung, is “the liveliest and most diverse artist biotope” in Munich.

The institutes and stables of the Veterinary Faculty of the University of Munich are located next to it at Schwere-Reiter-Straße 9 . The theater tent “ Das Schloss ” is located at Schwere-Reiter-Straße 15 . A boarding house was completed in 2016 on the corner of Ackermannstrasse , and in 2012 it received an award for its design from among seven designs. The Schwere-Reiter-Straße student residence is located at Schwere-Reiter-Straße 35 . Next to it at Schweren-Reiter-Strasse 37 is one of the four locations of the German Patent and Trademark Office . Again next to it at Schwere-Reiter-Strasse 39 is a three-storey, richly structured neo-baroque building built by Georg Zeiser from 1900 to 1902 with three risalits with mansard hipped roofs , the middle one with stucco decoration . It was formerly the team building of the Prinz-Leopold-Kaserne . At Schwere-Reiter-Strasse 41 is the former staff building of the Prinz-Leopold-Kaserne, which was also built by Georg Zeiser between 1900 and 1902 as a three-storey, structured neo-baroque building with a tent roof and a coat of arms relief on the gable. At the corner of Winzererstrasse is the former casino building of the Prinz-Leopold-Kaserne, a castle-like, free-standing, sloping neo-baroque corner building with rich plastic decor on the central projection and a terrace with an outside staircase .

The Munich City Archives are located southeast of the casino building . The Barbarasiedlung , as a document for the construction of small apartments, especially by the Bavarian Army in the years before the First World War under the principles of Theodor Fischer with elements of the garden city idea, is under ensemble protection , borders on Schwere-Reiter-Straße to the north.

Over its entire length, Schwere-Reiter-Straße has two lanes in each direction, which are divided in the middle by the tracks of tram line 12 . As a special feature, in the section between Winzererstraße and Ackermannstraße, it has an additional lane separated by a green strip with old trees in a close row. Its use is only permitted for motorized traffic in an east-west direction. As a result, the Schwere-Reiter-Straße has a width of over 50 m in this area.

history

Photo from 1900 with a view from the south of today's Schwere-Reiter-Strasse, which runs through the picture from left to right and which crosses Winzererstrasse on the right-hand side of the picture. To the north the building of the Prinz-Leopold-Kaserne

The Oberwiesenfeld has been used as a parade ground, artillery training area and gunpowder depot since 1796. With the increase in the numbers of the Bavarian armed forces after the army reform of 1804 and the longer training of soldiers that became necessary due to the development of weapons technology, it became necessary to accommodate them in barracks. The area around today's Schwere-Reiter-Straße was uninhabited until the end of the 19th century.

In old city maps Schwere-Reiter-Strasse is still referred to as Leonrodstrasse and was named "Prince Karl of Bavaria" in 1938 under the National Socialists after the Royal Bavarian 1st Heavy Rider Regiment . Originally, it was located in the middle of buildings used by the military:

  • In 1890 the railway barracks were built north of Schwere-Reiter-Strasse and east of Dachauer Strasse .
  • The artillery workshops were located at today's corner of Dachauer Strasse and Schwere-Reiterstrasse.
  • To the east of it, the airship barracks ( Luitpold barracks ) were built in 1896 south of Schwere-Reiter-Straße and in 1935 the barracks barracks Oberwiesenfeld were added.
  • The typhus epidemic of 1893, which broke out simultaneously in several inner-city barracks due to the catastrophic sanitary conditions, led to the military being relocated to the outskirts of the city and to an expansion of the barracks on Oberwiesenfeld, especially the infantry barracks south of Schwere-Reiter-Straße and west of Dachauer Straße.
  • In 1902 the Prinz-Leopold-Kaserne was occupied north of Schwere-Reiter-Straße.
  • The barracks of the Royal Bavarian 2nd Infantry Regiment "Kronprinz" were located on the side opposite today's Schwere-Reiter-Straße up to Winzererstraße and Lothstraße .
  • In 1912–1914, the municipal military office was built diagonally across from the casino in the Prinz-Leopold-Kaserne by Hans Grässel .
  • North of Schwere-Reiter-Straße and south of Oberwiesenfeld the Stetten barracks (later Indiana depot) was built in 1931 .
  • In 1934, the Waldmann barracks (later Jensen Barracks) followed immediately next to it.

From 1909 to 1918 the military clothing office on the corner severity Rider road was built, the Barbara settlement infantry road after the so-called for officials economy artisans of the Corps -Bekleidungsamtes the service residential building a few hundred meters to the southeast on the grounds of Barack barracks Apartments Oberwiesenfeld was not enough more. The estate, which is now owned by the Free State of Bavaria , was awarded in 1993 in the Munich facade competition. The former municipal military office has housed the city archive since 1920.

The casino ("Officer's Restaurant") on the corner of Winzererstraße - used at times as a chemical factory in the 1980s until a fire broke out - was later a popular film set, for example for director Rainer Werner Fassbinder or for Schimanski Tatorte. Back then, the film people had simply completed the ailing walls with paper mache and the like for the shooting . Today the listed building is used as a canteen for the Freising State Building Authority and as a “Casino am Nordbad” for cultural events.

Of the Stettenkaserne, which was given up in 1994, only a seven-storey accommodation building, built in 1960, remains, which has been converted into a student residence with 245 places. In 1966 large parts of the Oberwiesenfeld were re-planned for the Munich Olympic Park for the 1972 Summer Olympics . The area of ​​the Waldmann, Stetten and Prinz-Leopold barracks was converted from 2002 to 2016 into the new city quarter "Am Ackermannbogen" with around 2250 apartments and around 550 jobs on 39.5 hectares, with the exception of the listed buildings and the student dormitory.

The buildings of the former Luitpold barracks are now used as the “Schwabing Creative Quarter”, and the “Schwere Reiter Municipal Dance and Theater Stage” and the “Atelierhaus” have been here since 1993. The former parade hall, built in Romanesque style in 1894 with numerous arched windows, became the " Reithalle München " venue in 1994 with a performance of the Orestie by Peter Stein .
