Richard-Wagner-Straße

Richard-Wagner-Straße extends from Brienner Straße to Gabelsbergerstraße, featuring a distinctive curve at its center and eleven preserved historic buildings along its path.

The street construction began in 1897 as part of the planned development of Maxvorstadt, with residential buildings erected between 1899 and 1906 by architect Leonhard Romeis.

The street buildings combine neo-renaissance and art nouveau elements, forming a cohesive architectural ensemble that represents late 19th-century German design principles.

The location houses multiple institutions, including the E.ON energy group administration, a student residence, and the Palaeontological Museum at number 10.

During the 1930s, house number 7 contained the Nazi horse racing organization while number 11 functioned as a designated Jewish residence under the regime.
