history
Towards the end of the 19th century, the Heilmann'sche Immobilien-Gesellschaft , founded by Jakob Heilmann , acquired land south of Munich in the then still independent communities of Solln and Thalkirchen. On the area west of the Munich – Holzkirchen railway line , the Solln villa colony was built, whose original name was Wilhelmshöhe villa colony (named after Wilhelm II ), and the Prinz-Ludwigs-Höhe villa colony east of the railway line .
The development of the area for the Solln villa colony did not begin until after 1900, about five years later than the Prinz-Ludwigs-Höhe villa colony. Starting from Wolfratshauser Strasse, Hirschenstrasse (today Sollner Strasse) was run parallel to the railway line to the west. A dirt road leading to the northwest was expanded to form Hofbrunnstrasse. The villa colony was built in the corner between these two streets, the northern border was initially the Emil-Dittler-Straße. This triangle was opened up by an irregular road network. Lindenallee (today Diefenbachstrasse) led through the villa colony in a slightly S-shaped curve from the newly established Solln stop to the new parish church of St. Johann Baptist on Fellererplatz. The villa colony was also connected to the historic center of Solln through them.
Before the First World War , only a few, scattered buildings were built, including the Buchauer Villa on Hofbrunnstrasse. A local center was built on the corner of Sollner Strasse and Diefenbachstrasse with the Gasthaus zum Hirschen , the Hubertus pharmacy , the post office and a shop pavilion. The development was only added after the First World War. The villa colony also expanded to the south-west. But even when the Second World War broke out , there were still large gaps in the development. After the Second World War, multi-family houses were built there instead of the lavish villas. In the 1960s, cubic buildings with flat roofs and recessed second floors, balconies and terraces were predominant. In the late 1970s, old villas were also converted into apartment buildings. Since the end of the 20th century and intensified after the turn of the century also the continued Nachverdichtungein . While the character of a villa colony was lost as a result of this post-war development, the district has retained much of its original charm thanks to its lush greenery.
The villa colony Solln was in its early days and is still the residence of numerous well-known artists and celebrities (see also the list of Solln personalities ).
