Description

The street was named in 1971 after James Brendan Connolly, the first Olympic champion of the modern era (1896).

It leads from the Helene-Mayer-Ring to the Kusocinskidamm to Straßbergerstraße. The road is accessible on the surface for pedestrians and cyclists, underground for motorists. Access is via the Lerchenauer Straße.

  • Connollystraße above ground for pedestrians and cyclists
  • Connollystraße underground for cars

The sculpture "Olympic Rings" from 1972 by Ruth Kiener flame, with the new version from 2000 by Peter Schwenk, is found here.[1] In Connollystraße 20, is the "Theater Unterwegs".

Connollystraße 31 was the apartment of the, later taken hostage, Israeli Olympic team.[2] Following the Olympic Games, initial designs were in discussion to make it a "House of peace",[3] but the building was given to the Max Planck Society,[4] which uses it as a guest house.[5] 200 meters south is the memorial place of the Olympia attack.

North of the Connollystraße is the Nadisee, in the west the Central University Sports Center.
