Grünwaldpark, Urban park in Neuhausen-Nymphenburg, Germany.
Grünwaldpark is a three-hectare park in Munich's Neuhausen-Nymphenburg district, bounded by Nymphenburger Straße, Waisenhausstraße and Südliche Auffahrtsallee. It holds a playground, a streetball court and a sledding hill, and a tram turning loop sits where Waisenhausstraße branches off Nymphenburger Straße.
The park developed in connection with an 1892 horse-drawn tram line that ran between this location and Adalbertstraße in the city center. This transit route shaped the growth of the surrounding residential neighborhood.
The park takes its name from the Grünwald estate, and the streetcar loop at the corner of Waisenhausstraße and Nymphenburger Straße still marks the spot where the 1892 horse-drawn tram line to Karlsplatz began. Directly at Waisenhausstraße 4 stands the Präsidentenvilla, a neo-baroque, palace-like building erected around 1925 by Hans Schnetzer and home of the Bavarian Chamber of Architects since 1996, with the Haus der Architektur beside it.
Grünwaldpark is bounded by Nymphenburger Straße, Waisenhausstraße and Südliche Auffahrtsallee, so it can be crossed from several sides. A tram turning loop sits where Waisenhausstraße branches off Nymphenburger Straße. The sledding hill is the park's only slope; the rest is level ground around the playground and streetball court.
At the corner where Waisenhausstraße branches off Nymphenburger Straße, a tram turning loop sits right beside the park; in 1892 a horse-drawn tram line already ran from Grünwaldpark via Karlsplatz and Promenadeplatz to Adalbertstraße.
