Munich, March 2004

“The Tal is a street in the old town of Munich. The Tal extends over a length of 500 meters between the Old Town Hall on Marienplatz in the west and Isartor in the east. The Tal was therefore a part of the Salzstrasse, which led from Salzburg or Bad Reichenhall through Munich and Landsberg on the Lech to Switzerland. The street was located outside the first medieval city wall, which is why it starts at the Holy Spirit Church, which was used as the church for the first Munich hospital and was consciously constructed outside the walls. The name of the road goes back to its historical references, to which a document from the year 1253 testifies that the street has had ist name at least since the 13th century. Today the street is characterized by retail chains and gastronomy. Among the residents are a branch of the Stadtsparkasse Munich and the Schneider Bräuhaus (named the Weißes Bräuhaus until 2015). In the street are many historical protected residential and commercial buildings, including the Kalter-Haus.” (Tal, Wikipedia)
