Landsberger Straße
The Landsberger Straße is one of the main arterial roads in Munich.
Route[edit]
The road, with a length of about 6.6 km,[1] leads south into the extension of the Bayerstraße, parallel to the railway lines of the Munich-Hauptbahnhof-Munich-Pasing-Augsburg tracks from the confluence of the Martin-Greif-Straße, through the Munich urban districts of Schwanthalerhöhe (Westend), Laim and Pasing until the Pasinger Marienplatz. At its eastern end, the road crosses the small ridge of the Theresienhöhe / Maßmannbergl, a runoff from the western high bay of the Isar Valley. The roads continuation to the west is the Bodenseestraße. From its junction with the Mittlerer Ring at the Trappentreustraße / Donnersbergerbrücke, it forms a section of the Bundesstraße 2 to the west. At the height of the Laim S-Bahn station, the Wotanstraße coming from the north through the Laimer underpass and the south coming Fürstenrieder Straße (both parts of the so-called outer ring) cross. In the center of Pasing, however, the B2 is routed further north through the Nordumgehung Pasing on to the Josef-Felder-Straße. The tram runs on the Landsberger Straße from the eastern end of the street to Elsenheimerstraße and then from the street Am Knie to the center of Pasinger.[2]
The road crosses two railway lines, namely the Münchner Südring through an underpass and the Sendlinger Spange by means of a bridge, the Hackerbrücke.[3]
Name[edit]
The name of the street comes from the city Landsberg am Lech, which is reached further down the route of the road.
Important buildings on the street[edit]
On the Landsberger Straße there are, among others, the operating buildings of the Augustiner-Bräu (Augustiner brewery) (No. 31–35),[1][4] the Central Tower München high-rise building,[5] the former Hauptzollamt (main customs office) (No. 122–132), the Persil-Schule (No. 150),[6] the ICE-Halle der Deutsche Bahn (No. 158), a hall from the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Villa Kürth near the Laimer underpass, the Munich branch of Steinway & Sons (formerly Pianohaus Lang) (No. 336), the Pasinger Rathaus[7] and the Pasing Arcaden 2.
At the corner of Elsenheimerstraße is a sculpture that was erected by Reinhart R. Wolke.
The street was used as a filming location for Michael Jackson's "Give In to Me" music video in 1992, just two days before the Dangerous World Tour started.
