History
The street was named in 1877 after the Bavarian court painter Johann Ulrich Loth. Towards the end of the 19th century, it formed the southeastern boundary of the Barackenkasernements Oberwiesenfeld.From 1879 to 1904 the Bayerisches Armeemuseum was housed in the Zeughaus in Munich, before it moved into the newly built monumental building in the Hofgarten, the present state chancellery.
Adolf Hitler lived during his affiliation to the infantry in the Lothstraße 29 and stayed there officially until 1 May 1920. From the Führergeburtstag 1934 until denazification in 1945, the barracks in Lothstraße therefore held the name Adolf-Hitler-Kaserne.
