About Richard-Strauss-Straße

The Richard-Strauss-Straße subway station is located in Munich's Bogenhausen district and opened in 1988. It is one of the few stations on the subway system with side platforms. The architecture creates a rather somber atmosphere, owing to the curved concrete ceiling above the tracks and the non-reflective stone panels on the walls. In contrast, the aluminum slats above the platforms, which hold the lighting, stand out. The floor is designed with a coarse Isar pebble motif. You reach street level via escalators, fixed stairs, and an elevator at the ends of the station. Remnants of a former exit are still visible in the differing wall coloring.
