Tulbeckstraße

The Tulbeckstraße is a street in Munich and lies west of the city center in the district Schwanthalerhöhe. It leads from Parkstraße in the east to Trappentreustraße in the west. It was named after the Munich patrician family Tulbeck in 1878. From this family came the Freising Prince-Bishop Johann IV Tulbeck (term: 1453-1473).

Location

The Tulbeckstraße is located in the district Schwanthalerhöhe and is lies in the Westend of the district. This is a classic working-class district with cooperative buildings from around 1900. The Tulbeckstraße is centrally located in the district and runs in the west–east direction over a length of more than 700 meters. The northern parallel road is the Schwanthalerstraße and the Westendstraße, the southern parallel road is the Gollierstraße with the Gollierplatz.

Route

The Tulbeckstraße branches off to the east from Parkstraße and unlike the Gollierstraße, has no connection to the Theresienhöhe. It flows into the west at the height of the Trappentreutunnel on the Trappentreustraße.

The Tulbeckstraße is dominated by rental houses, which are numbered from east to west from 1 to 57 and 2 to 52. The eastern of the street, the rental houses are dominated by a Neo-Renaissance style (1882–1889) and in the West mainly by German Renaissance and Art Nouveau style (1901–1924).

History

In 1862, the Drexler barrel factory settled on the site and held the address of Westendstraße 95. A road formed at its southern end, named Tulbeckstraße since 1878, and was gradually built from east to west.

Historical buildings

Between 1880 and 1890, four-storey apartment buildings of medium to low standard were built along Tulbeckstraße. These had open courtyards and low surrounding buildings, which were mostly occupied by commercial businesses. These buildings include, among others, the five houses built by the Catholic Workers 'Association Munich-West, founded in 1888, in Ganghofer- / Tulbeckstraße as a workers' home. In 1911/12, the housing complexes were built with the house numbers 41 to 51, which had been commissioned by the construction cooperative Munich-West. Since the late 1970s, the Tulbeckstraße was extensively integrated into the urban renewal of the Westend.
