General History

The Bavarian industrialist Georg Krauß founded the locomotive factory ''Krauss & Comp.'' on the Marsfeld in Munich-Neuhausen on 17 June, 1866. It was painted in 1882 by Friedrich Perlberg. The factory was located at Maillingerstraße 33. A newly built administration building constructed in 1922/23 was sold to Deutsche Reichsbahn.

The composer Carl Orff, was born in 1895 in Maillingerstraße 16 and lived there until October 1939.

From 1924 on, the Grünsfelder brothers owned a wholesale metal shop at Maillingerstraße 23, the former bell foundry of Ulrich Kortler (1846-1928). They emigrated to the United States during Aryanization in Munich.

Areas which were part of Maillingerstraße were renamed in 1965/67 ''Helmholtzstraße'' (the Munich ATEGE camp II in Maillingerstraße 73 became Helmholtzstraße 15, for example), other areas were added to the newly established Marsstraße. From 1890, the street leading from Marsstraße was initially called Haslangstraße, (for a Bavarian field marshal), then from 1947, Baudrexelstraße, named after the master builder Josef Baudrexel (1861-1943). The State Salary Office was on Baudrexelstraße 2. After integration into the new building of the State Office of Criminal Investigation, it became Maillingerstraße 11.

The Consulate General of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was briefly housed in Maillingerstraße 32 in 1995.

Cartography

Maillingerstraße is partially depicted in the Munich map in the 4th edition of Meyers Konversations-Lexikon (1888). In it, the area which corresponds to today's even house numbers (2-24) appears to be built on. The Munich map in the 14th edition of the Brockhaus Konversations-Lexikon (1891) shows the entire street had been developed further and includes the locomotive factory and the infantry barracks.

Transportation history

From 21 October, 1876, the first line of Munich's horse tram from Promenade Square to what later became ''Burgfrieden-Maillingerstraße'' in Nymphenburger Straße, ended here, and was the precursor of the electric tram.
