Leopoldstraße

Leopoldstraße runs from the Siegestor (Victory Gate) and the Art Academy in the south to the Münchner Freiheit, with the Protestant church 'Erlöserkirche', and then further to the north.

The street is one of the most important ones in Munich,[2] featuring shops, cinemas, hotels, open air cafés and restaurants and a major parkway.

[2] In the side streets east of Münchner Freiheit, (Occam-, Feilitzsch-, Sieges-, Marktstraße) an amusement quarter with many pubs and bars is located, some with live music.

Below the street are since 1971 the tunnels of Munich subway lines 3 and 6 with the stations Giselastraße and Münchner Freiheit.

In 1962, Leopoldstraße was the scene of the Schwabinger Krawalle (Schwabing riots) and from 1995 to 2001 of the annual technoparade Union Move.
