Maria-Josepha-Straße
Maria-Josepha-Straße is a street in Munich's Schwabing district. It runs west of the ''Englischer Garten'' from Dillisstraße, or the Nikolaiplatz to the corner of Mandlstraße/Königinstraße, and forms the southern edge of the heritage-protected building ensemble Alt-Schwabing. The name of the street came from Maria Josepha of Portugal, the second wife of Karl Theodor, Duke in Bavaria. The renaming of the street from its originally name, Wiesenstraße, took place in the course of 1891 and was carried out with the incorporation of Schwabing to Munich. Countless streets of the Altschwabinger village center were then given new addresses and names. According to Rambaldi, the street name assignments were officially carried out as early as 1890, and for the postal detection of the buildings along this road, the name had been recognized since 12 November 1892. On city maps from the years 1890 and 1891, the street name was not yet to be found. At the beginning of Maria-Josepha-Straà ...
