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 features raised keystones above the door arches as its only decoration. These were sculpted by Fritz Schmoll gen. Eisenwerth. The building 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, which was designed by Bruno Biehler and shielded from Fürstenrieder Straße.

From 1929 to 1930, a social housing row-house settlement was constructed between the streets 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 comprises single- and multi-family houses arranged like a village, complete 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. A one-story storefront projects towards the street at the southern end.

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

Further south, between Fürstenrieder Straße 150 and 156, stands another row building designed by Fick and built in 1929.

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

Sundial

The southern façade features a sundial designed by André Kosics.

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