[1] The 1.3 km long Türkenstraße runs from the Brienner Straße in a northeasterly direction and ends at the border of the district Schwabing, in the Georgenstraße.

Infantry regiments were initially stationed here, so the barracks was used by the Bavarian State Police after the First World War, which gave way during the Drittes Reich of the Wehrmacht.

[2] In 1874, August von Voit set up a simultan school, where boys and girls of different faiths were equally received.

[6] Erich Mühsam and Joachim Ringelnatz were so-called house poets and until the destruction in 1944, the Simplicissimus was a central starting point for the Munich, in particular the Schwabinger, cultural scene.

Historically significant protected monuments on the Türkenstraße are, for example, the Palais Dürckheim (a former aristocratic palace and later Prussian legation), the Türkentor (entrance gate of the former Turkish barracks) or the Old Simpl.
