Landshuter Allee

The Landshuter Allee is an avenue in Munich and through most of its course it is part of the Mittlerer Ring, the Bundesstraße 2 R. It joins Donnersbergerbrücke at Arnulfstraße in the Neuhausen district and runs from Dachauer Straße west of the Olympiapark to Moosacher Straße west of the Olympic village in the Moosach district. The B 2R leaves the intersection-free avenue at the Landshuter Allee and continues on the Georg-Brauchle-Ring. The Landshuter Allee now functions as the B 304 and connects the Mittlerer Ring with the northern tangent of the Outer Ring, which is only partially complete. The large width of the Landshuter Allee of 54 metres between the houses is striking. It crosses the Nymphenburg-Biedersteiner Kanal.

From 1858 to 1892 the single-track railway line from Munich to Landshut ran on today's Landshuter Allee. At that time the Landshuter Allee was called Fabrikstraße, named after the locomotive factory Krauss and from 1902 Landshuter Allee. In 1917 during the First World War it was renamed Hindenburgstraße after the Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg. After the Second World War the street got its old name back. After the surrender of the Wehrmacht Munich belonged to the American occupation zone and the US army demanded "that all squares and streets reminding of persons of the Drittes Reich and militarism since 1914 should be renamed". It bordered the Moosach gas works in the east and in 1972 the Olympic press city lay to the west of it.
