Detail InformationEdit

The Prinzregentenstraße in Munich is one of four royal avenues and runs parallel to Maximilianstraße and begins at Prinz-Carl-Palais, in the northeastern part of the Old Town. The avenue was constructed from 1891 onwards as a prime address for the middle-class during the reign of Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria and is named Prinzregentenstrasse in his honour.
In contrast to Ludwigstrasse, the big boulevard of his father Ludwig I and to Maximilianstrasse, the boulevard of his brother Maximilian II, Prinzregentenstrasse was not planned as an administrative centre with a specially developed style; it was projected as a noble middle-class avenue. Thereby it reflects not only middle-class ideals, but was an expression of the good relation between the citizens, above all of the bourgeoisie and the educated classes, and the house of Wittelsbach. At the same time Prinzregentenstrasse demonstrates the prosperity about 1900.
Many museums can be found along the avenue, such as the internationally renowned Haus der Kunst (House of Art), the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum (Bavarian National Museum), the Schackgalerie and the Villa Stuck of Franz von Stuck which is situated on the eastern side of the Isar river. The avenue crosses the river and circles the Friedensengel (Angel Of Peace), a monument commemorating the 25 years of peace following the Franco-Prussian War in 1871.
In the winter the Prinzregentstadion serves for ice skating, for the rest of the year the stadium is transformed into an open-air swimming pool. The Prinzregententheater, an important theatre of the city, is at Prinzregentenplatz further to the east. In the easternmost part of the Prinzregentenstraße the church St. Gabriel was built in 1925–1926 by Otho Orlando Kurz and Eduard Herbert.
