Amalienpassage, shopping arcade in Maxvorstadt, Munich, Germany

The Amalienpassage is a covered shopping passageway opened in 1977 in Munich's Maxvorstadt, linking Amalienstraße and Türkenstraße between Schellingstraße and Adalbertstraße. Architect Jürgen von Gagern arranged covered walks around four differently designed courtyards — Adalberthof, Amalienhof, Amalienhof Süd and Türkenhof — each holding a fountain, with 203 apartments above the shops.

The Amalienpassage opened in 1977, built to plans by Munich architect Jürgen von Gagern; the entrance building was erected between 1975 and 1977 by Gordon Ludwig. Contractor Fritz Eichbauer ran the Bistro Terrine there from 1978 to 2013. The complex cost 50 million DM, and its structure, outdoor grounds and art on the building are listed as a monument.

The name comes from Amalienstraße, which the passage links to Türkenstraße. Bauunternehmer Fritz Eichbauer ran the Bistro Terrine here from 1978 to 2013; the site now holds Jürgen Wolfsgruber's Sparkling Bistro. Bavarian broadcaster BR filmed the passage in 1985 for Georg Friedel's documentary "Amalienpassage. Beobachtungen in einem Durchgang".

The passage runs between Amalienstraße and Türkenstraße, linking Schellingstraße and Adalbertstraße in the Maxvorstadt. Four courtyards with fountains break up the covered route, so a walk-through takes only a few minutes. The entrances are at street level and step-free, and the roofed sections keep the route dry in rain.

The four courtyards carry separate names: Adalberthof, Amalienhof, Amalienhof Süd and Türkenhof, each with its own fountain. Bavarian broadcaster Georg Friedel made a 1985 radio feature titled "Amalienpassage. Beobachtungen in einem Durchgang", recording everyday life in the walkway.
