The Sonnenstraße is part of the Munich Altstadtring and runs north-south between the Sendlinger Tor and Stachus.
[3] Parallel to the Sonnenstraße (near the Herzog-Wilhelm-Strasse), the western Stadtgrabenbach runs underground, it flows near the Sendlinger gate out of the Glockenbach and follows the north and later north-east of the former city fortification.
[5] The Matthäuskirche, built in 1833, was the first evangelical church in Munich and it stood on Sonnenstraße, near the merge of the Herzogspitalstraße, until the end of 1938.
In 1856, the Frauengebäranstalt was completed on the Sonnenstraße, the first building in the Maximilian style by the architect Georg Friedrich Christian Bürklein, where from 1922, the postal check office, now the Isarpost Eventlocation, has been located there.
On the Sonnenstrasse was the Hotel Wagner, where the Kabarett Wien-München and from 1934 to 1935 the Valentin Panoptikum were located.
