In Herzogstraße 3, Júlia da Silva Bruhns lived with her daughters, her youngest son, and the mother of Thomas and Heinrich Mann from August 1898.
Her brother, the historian Siegmund Hellmann received a professional and publication ban because of his Jewish origin in 1933 while the National Socialists were in power, therefore he moved in with his sister and lived there until 1942.
[10][11] In 1975, twelve artists founded the "Kollektiv Herzogstraße", named after their joint studio there, with the aim of promoting the expressive abstraction of the artist groups CoBrA, SPUR and WIR: Heimrad Prem, Helmut Sturm, Hans Matthäus Bachmayer, Dietrich Bartscht, Heiko Herrmann, Thomas Niggl, Armin Saub, Diri (Dieter) Strauch and Heinz Weld.
In contrast to the groups of the 1960s, Renate Bachmayer, Jutta von Busse and Ursula Strauch-Sachs were also included as female painters.
[14] From 1978 to 1986, there was the Rigan Club in the Herzogstraße 82, where it came to live performances, of for example, The Searchers, The Marmalade, the Bay City Rollers, Nina Hagen and Mike Oldfield.
