History
The Türkenkaserne (Turkish Barracks) was located on Gabelsbergerstraße until its destruction in the Second World War.

Following a proposal by the city council in 1861, King Maximilian II approved the renaming of Kasernstraße to Gabelsbergerstraße after the inventor of shorthand, Franz Xaver Gabelsberger. Until his death in 1849 he lived in the house Kasernstraße 6 on the first floor. The name of the street has been official since 1862.

The lawyer Otto von Kühlmann and the artist Heinrich Höfer also lived on Gabelsbergerstraße.

In 1977, the Hinterhoftheater (predecessor of the Wirtshaus am Hart) was founded on Gabelsbergerstraße 50 and was located there until mid-1980.
