Maximilianstraße
in Munich
Portrait
Maximilian II had it cut in the 1850s and ordered a style for it that did not exist, telling his architects to invent one; what they produced is still called the Maximilian style and exists almost nowhere else. The street ends at a building he put across it deliberately, so that the view stops rather than escapes.
This is a street, not an entry in the atlas. It resolves upward to the city that holds it.
