Emergence
On the site of the Schilksee Olympic Center there was already a harbor for yachts and fishermen before it was built.
The decision to build the competition facilities for the 1972 Olympic Games, which were awarded to Munich on April 26, 1966 , was made on March 18, 1967, and construction began on October 13, 1969.
An elongated (approx. 300 m long), staggered concrete crossbar with 400 apartments, a spectator terrace, shops, boat sheds, a swimming pool etc. was built in parallel to the existing port - surrounded by parking lots and green spaces - in the southwest two high-rise buildings with (168) apartments, in the northwest a hotel with 500 beds and a settlement with 32 bungalows .
The opening of the Olympic competitions in Schilksee took place on August 28, 1972.
