The Sendlinger Straße is a major shopping street in Munich's Old Town . It extends in a southwest-northeast direction from Sendlinger Tor in the west to the point where Fürstenfelder Strasse and the Rindermarkt meet in the east. Its conversion to a pedestrian zone was completed in December 2019.
history
Sendlinger Straße was named after its original destination: Sendling . In the 14th century, this was the first place outside of Munich's city walls after the Sendlinger Tor , to which Sendlinger Strasse led.
The Asamhaus and especially the Asamkirche , which was built between 1733 and 1746 by two main representatives of the South German Baroque : the Asam brothers ( Egid Quirin Asam and Cosmas Damian Asam ) are of art and cultural historical importance . The Asam Church is considered to be one of its most important buildings. There are a total of 24 monuments on Sendlinger Strasse .
In the post-war period , the Munich red-light district was located here , which has long since migrated. A tram connected the Sendlinger Tor with Marienplatz until this route was opened up by the U3 / U6 underground lines . Over the years, the sidewalks have become increasingly wider and the lane for cars has narrowed accordingly. In 2009, the Munich city council decided that an approximately 120 meter long section between Hackenstrasse and Färbergraben should become a pedestrian zone . Construction work on this began in 2012.
Today, in addition to restaurants and cafés, there are a variety of shopping opportunities on Sendlinger Strasse . In order to expand the range of shops still further, courtyards have been developed - such as the “Asamhof” next to the Asamkirche or the “ Hofstatt ” on the former site of the Süddeutscher Verlag .
The city's plans to completely convert the street into a pedestrian zone were controversial and led to the establishment of a citizens' initiative by residents against this traffic attempt . Environmental and transport organizations such as Green City or the Verkehrsclub Deutschland , on the other hand, welcomed the plans and even suggested extending the pedestrian zones beyond the old town - to about the eastern half of Sonnenstrasse . In December 2019, the conversion of Sendlinger Strasse into a pedestrian zone was completed.
