Munich - Maximilian Street Maximilianstrasse

 
Maximilianstrasse, the third of Munich's prestigious 19th century streets, starts at Max-Joseph-Platz and runs southeastwards to the Isar, ending at the Maximilianeum. This major thoroughfare, conceived by the architect Friedrich Bürklein and constructed in 1851-53, is the link between the Old Town and the suburbs of Lehel and Haidhausen.

Maximilianstrasse today can justly claim to be one of Germany's finest "golden miles". Here are found August Everding's Opera House and the historic Vier Jahreszeiten (Four Seasons) Hotel, the fashion designer Rudolf Mooshammer, the jeweler Bulgari, also Armani, Hermès and Guy Laroche and Charles Schumann.
