Munich: Fürstenrieder Straße

1929

Architect: Roderich Fick

Fürstenrieder Straße 134-152, Inderstorferstraße 1, Munich

The elongated, four-story row building at Fürstenrieder Straße 134-152 has the raised keystones above the door arches as its only decoration. These were sculpted by Fritz Schmoll gen. Eisenwerth. It was completed in 1929 according to plans by architect Roderich Fick.

Housing Estate

The complex was built as an extension of the Friedenheim housing estate designed by Bruno Biehler, who shielded it from Fürstenrieder Straße.

From 1929 to 1930, a social housing row house settlement was built between Ammersee-, Fürstenrieder-, Inderstorfer-, Käpf-, and Jörgstraße. This settlement was called Neufriedenheim or Siedlung Friedenheim.

With approximately 400 housing units, Neufriedenheim is the smallest of the five large housing estates built by Gemeinnützige Wohnungsfürsorge A.G. (GEWOFAG) in Munich during this period.

The settlement comprised single-family and multi-family houses arranged like a village with plot gardens and local amenities, such as restaurants, kindergartens, and schools.

Residential Complex Fürstenriederstrasse

The row building with a hipped roof, designed by Roderich Fick, shields the settlement from Fürstenrieder Straße. At the southern end is a one-story storefront projecting towards the street.

To the north, the building ends with a two-story wing on Inderstorferstraße.

Further south, between Fürstenrieder Straße 150 and 156, is another row building designed by the same architect and built in 1929.

This building is largely identical in design. On the façade facing Fürstenrieder Straße are two monumental figures by Fritz Schmoll gen. Eisenwerth.

Sundial

The southern facade features a sundial designed by André Kosics.

To the south, the row ends with a one-story store porch, and to the west, it ends with a narrow, three-story wing building with a gateway.
