Prinzregentenstraße (Munich)

Prinzregentenstraße (Munich)

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.

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" on the eastern side of the 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. The "Prinzregententheater", an important theatre of the city, is at Prinzregentenplatz further to the east.
