Petuelring

The Petuelring is an approximately 2.2 km long road in the north of Munich and part of the Mittlerer Ring.

The ring runs in a west–east direction and marks the border between the city districts of Milbertshofen and Schwabing-West.

[2] The Georg-Brauchle-Ring coming from the Olympiapark merges into the Petuelring at the tunnelled crossing Lerchenauer Straße (München-Zentrum-Feldmoching-Hasenbergl).

Continuing in an easterly direction, the Petuelring ends in Petueltunnel under the Leopoldstraße intersection and then becomes Schenkendorfstraße.

[1] In the Munich transport network, the Petuelring is of great importance as part of the Mittlerer Ring.

Between the stops of the Rümann- and Keferloherstraße a tram underpass was built for the former line 8 and called Petueltunnel.

Both the Petueltunnel and the road above it in the Schleißheimer Straße to Leopoldstraße area continue to bear the name Petuelring.

The raised part is dominated by extensive grass areas, on the lower level so-called Themengärten have been set up.

Ludwig Petuel Sr. was a brewer from Freising and had a canal road extended, on the route of which the Petuelring now runs.

and his wife Karolina bequeathed their entire fortune to the city of Munich in the 1930s as they had no children.
