Amalienpassage, 1977 eröffnete Ladenpassage in der Maxvorstadt in München, geplant von Jürgen von Gagern
The Amalienpassage is a covered shopping passageway in Munich's Maxvorstadt district that connects Amalienstraße and Türkenstraße. It features four distinct courtyards with fountains, shops, cafes, and around 203 residential apartments.
The passage was built between 1975 and 1977 and opened in 1977, designed by architect Jürgen von Gagern. Today it is protected as a historic monument and preserves an example of modern architecture from that era.
The passage is named after the adjacent Amalienstraße and serves as a daily meeting point for the neighborhood. You will see students, residents, and visitors moving through the covered walkways, browsing shops, or sitting in cafes, creating a living hub of local activity.
The passage is easily accessible from the Universität subway station, with entrances at Amalienstraße (number 91) and Türkenstraße (number 84), each a few minutes walk away. The covered walkways provide weather protection, and parking is available nearby along with good tram and bus connections.
Designer Eva von Gagern-Hübsch created a subtle color scheme with shifting tones that gives the different courtyards and building surfaces a lively quality. This thoughtful use of color is often overlooked at first glance but reveals to the attentive visitor an additional layer of design sophistication.
