Adalbertstraße

The Adalbertstraße is a street in the Maxvorstadt, the district 3 of the Bavarian capital Munich. The street, which had been paved in 1825, was named in 1829 after Prince Adalbert of Bavaria (1828-1875), the fourth son of Ludwig I of Bavaria. Previously the Adalbertstraße had been called Letzte Straße ("Last Street"), since it formed the northern end of Maxvorstadt.

Route

The Adalbertstraße runs from Ludwigstraße, north of the main building of Ludwig-Maximilian-University, westwards to Tengstraße. It crosses at right angles several streets of the geometrically implemented urban expansion. It leads past the, 1866 to 1869, Old North Cemetery. At its western end, the Adalbertstraße encounters the Tengstraße, southeast of the Church of St. Joseph.

Buildings

Due to the damages during the Second World War^[1] and other changes, the Adalbertstraße shows a heterogeneous development. From the original two-storey buildings, only the house no. 14 from the period around 1827/30 has been preserved. The original buildings were replaced, starting in the 1860s, by mostly four-storey rental buildings and commercial buildings in the style of the Neo-Renaissance.
