Alte Heide (Munich)
The Alte Heide is a settlement in Munich . It is located in the north of Munich's Schwabing district in district 12 Schwabing-Freimann .
The settlement was created by Theodor Fischer from 1919 to 1928 as a "garden residential park". The client was the 1918 from six industrial companies and the "Association for the Improvement of Housing in Munich e. V. ”(today: Gemeinnütziger Wohnungsverein München 1899 eV ) founded“ Gemeinnützige Baugesellschaft Alte Heide ”, which had the aim of creating small apartments for workers in large industrial plants in the north of the city. It consists of 26 residential buildings arranged in the form of a row structure , each with three floors (rental and owner-occupied apartments , each with two to five rooms). The majority of the apartments had a living space of 60 m² with two rooms, the common kitchen-living room, toilet and forecourt and a loggia in Munich. The shared bathing facility in the administration building offered bathtubs and showers. From 1926 onwards, Fischer planned the apartments still to be built with new floor plans without any external changes: with four rooms each, kitchen, pantry and bathroom to meet the need for larger apartments. Due to the housing shortage in the second post-war period, two attic apartments were built in each row in 1949. The facility is supplemented by a school, a villa and a former shop and administration building. The architectural style shows elements of historicism and art nouveau . There are gardens and a small park between the buildings.
For the first time, Fischer arranged all the buildings parallel to one another, across the access roads, thereby achieving a uniform orientation towards the air and the sun and avoiding the disadvantages of block development . The Alte Heide is therefore considered to be a pioneer of this type of construction, which was widely used in the 1920s and then during the reconstruction after the Second World War.
Sometimes the outdated spelling "Alte Haide" is still used.
The Alte Heide is the namesake for the subway station of the same name on the U6 line and for FC Alte Haide Munich .
