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 Israeli Olympic team who was taken hostage at the 1972 Summer Olympics.[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.
