The Trappentreustraße is a street in the west of Munich and part of the Middle Ring .

location

Trappentreustraße is located about three kilometers west of Munich city center in the Schwanthalerhöhe district, Westend district. It runs in a north-south direction.

The construction of the Trappentreutunnel results in two sections. On the northern section, up to 135,000 vehicles drive over the Mittlerer Ring every day, while in the southern section over the tunnel, only 3,000 vehicles per day.

Trappentreustraße has around 3,300 residents.

course

Trappentreustraße begins at the southern end of Donnersbergerbrücke at the Landsberger Straße intersection ( B 2 towards Augsburg ) and runs south. The main lanes, each with two lanes, are led over Landsberger Straße. The secondary roads serve as a feeder to Landsberger Strasse and the side streets. The main carriageway now merges into the Trappentreutunnel built in 1984.

After the Guldeinstrasse and Westendstrasse merge into the secondary lanes and the main lane is in the tunnel, they continue in a single lane. The street crosses Tulbeckstrasse and reaches Gollierplatz . Individual traffic is prohibited from here until the Gollierstrasse intersection. After the Gollierstrasse intersection, the Kazmairstrasse intersection follows. Trappentreustraße ends at Heimeranplatz .

The Trappentreutunnel also ends at the southern end of Heimeranplatz and turns into Garmischer Strasse in the direction of Sendling-Westpark . Road traffic on the surface is connected to it via connecting ramps.

traffic

Trappentreustraße in the area of ​​the Middle Ring is of great importance in the Munich transport network. The southern section was relieved in 1984 after the Trappentreutunnel opened and traffic was relocated there.

In addition to several bus lines, the train station of the same name is located north of the Donnersbergerbrücke and immediately south of Heimeranplatz is the S- and U-Bahn station of the same name on Munich's Südring .

Parking space management has been introduced in Trappentreustraße (southern section) for stationary traffic.

history

In the second half of the 19th century, the architect Gabriel von Seidl created a noble suburb in the west of the city based on the example of other major European cities. In this context, the Trappentreustraße was built. This was initially an 18 meter wide side street.

From 1919 to 1920, the city built tram line  22 through Trappentreustraße from the Old Sendlinger Church to Rotkreuzplatz . The opening took place on March 23, 1920.

The middle ring was built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. To this end, Trappentreustraße was widened to 38.5 meters. This was done by demolishing the houses west of the street. In this context, tram line 22 was closed on March 1, 1970.

In the years that followed, the district cut through this main traffic axis, some of which had eight lanes. Therefore, in the late 1970s, the city decided to tunnel under the road. Construction work began on February 1, 1980. On October 16, 1983, the Trappentreutunnel was opened to traffic in the north direction, the tunnel in the south direction followed on April 27, 1984. At the same time as the road tunnel was built, the city also built the subway (today's lines U4 and U5). This was opened on March 10, 1984 and got a station at Heimeranplatz.

On the surface, the city rebuilt the road into a two-lane road in the years that followed. In order to prevent the passage of the entire Trappentreustraße for individual traffic (this should use the tunnel), the so-called “plug” was installed at Gollierplatz. Only public buses, taxis and cyclists can pass through here. Parking management was introduced in the 1990s.
