History and origin of name

Tivoli Bridge from the south

As early as 1804, when the Bogenhausen Bridge was built as a predecessor to the Max-Joseph Bridge, a simple wooden bridge was built over the Eisbach as an extension of it. It existed until 1906 and was later replaced by a stone bridge. From 1830 to 1923, the restaurant Zum Tivoli with a coffee house, carousel, swimming pool and ice rink, named after the city of Tivoli east of Rome, was located nearby - between Eisbach and Isar . The restaurant also gave its name to the surrounding Tivoli district . The site had previously belonged to the royal Bavarian and Württemberg court banker Raphael Kaulla (1763-1828), the father of Nanette Kaulla . In 1978 today's bridge was built.
