Augustiner-Bräu on Landsberger Strasse

The Landsberger Straße is one of the main arterial roads in Munich.

Route

The road, with a length of about 6.6 km, leads south into the extension of the Bayerstraße, parallel to the railway lines of the Munich-Hauptbahnhof-Munich-Pasing-Augsburg tracks from the confluence of the Martin-Greif-Straße, through the Munich urban districts of Schwanthalerhöhe (Westend), Laim and Pasing until the Pasinger Marienplatz. At its eastern end, the road crosses the small ridge of the Theresienhöhe / Maßmannbergl, a runoff from the western high bay of the Isar Valley. The roads continuation to the west is the Bodenseestraße. From its junction with the Mittlerer Ring at the Trappentreustraße / Donnersbergerbrücke, it forms a section of the Bundesstraße 2 to the west. At the height of the Laim S-Bahn station, the Wotanstraße coming from the north through the Laimer underpass and the south coming Fürstenrieder Straße (both parts of the so-called outer ring) cross. In the center of Pasing, however, the B2 is routed further north through the Nordumgehung Pasing on to the Josef-Felder-Straße. The tram runs on the Landsberger Straße from the eastern end of the street to Elsenheimerstraße and then from the street Am Knie to the center of Pasinger. The road crosses two railway lines, namely the Münchner Südring through an underpass and the Sendlinger Spange by means of a bridge, the Hackerbrücke.

Name

The name of the street comes from the city Landsberg am Lech, which is reached further down the route of the road.

Important buildings on the street
