Widenmayerstraße

The Widenmayerstraße is an inner city street in the Munich district of Lehel.

At approximately the same time as quay walls were built at the Isar, around 1893/94, the further development of the road took place, which in 1896, was named after Johannes von Widenmayer, the mayor of Munich, who died in 1893.

The Innere Isarstraße running parallel to the Hofhammerschmiedbach was abandoned and became part of the building plots, the brook itself was overgrown and partially overbuilt.

The development was predominantly from south to north, initially in the style of late historicism, then baroque and classical.

As the only house between Widenmayerstraße and Isar, the gymnasium of the gymnastic and sports club TS Jahn München was established in 1904.

After World War II, it remained as a ruin and was only demolished in 1962/63 for the planned widening of the road.

The parallel road from Emil-Riedel-Straße, Oettingenstraße and Sternstraße is used by the traffic from north to south.

Only the northern part, on which the underpass begins under the Tivolistraße, is navigable in both directions.
