Schwabing & University District
E
NCOMPASSING SCHWABING, MAXVORSTADT,
and the fringes of Lehel, this
district covers the entire area lying to the left and right of Ludwigstraße
and Leopoldstraße. At the beginning of the 19th century, the expansion of the
Old Town north and west of Odeonsplatz began with the development of
Maxvorstadt, then a suburb. This is where you will find numerous museums,
the university, polytechnics, colleges, and libraries. Schwabing, an idyllic suburb
to the north, became a well-known bohemian district inhabited by artists and
intellectuals toward the end of the 19th century. Even today, you can still feel the
flair of this interesting area, one of the centres of Art Nouveau in Germany.
