description

Parkstadt Schwabing is located between Leopoldstrasse in the west, Schenkendorfstrasse in the south, the A 9 to Nuremberg in the east and Domagkstrasse in the north.

The district consists of an office, hotel and business center with around 12,000 jobs in the service and commercial sector, as well as a residential area with 1,500 residential units, 500 of which were created through social housing . Following the model of the Munich settlement perspective “compact-urban-green”, the Parkstadt Schwabing has a 650-meter-long and 40-meter-wide park strip, which is called the Central Park , as its centerpiece . The second and fourth tallest skyscrapers in the city are also located here with the Highlight Towers . The m.pire is located in the north of Parkstadt .

In the Parkstadt are u. a. the administration of Commerzbank , a branch of the Deutsche Bundesbank , the German headquarters of Microsoft , MAN Truck & Bus , the party headquarters of the CSU , the Munich Re , Swiss Life , Siemens Nixdorf , Amazon , Accenture , Interhyp , Osram , Fashion Mall Munich and Fujitsu . The hotel chains Marriott International and Renaissance Hotels each operate a hotel in the district.

The connection to local public transport is via the U6 with the Nordfriedhof and Alte Heide underground stations . Since December 2009, tram line 23 has been connecting Parkstadt over the Schenkendorf Bridge with Münchner Freiheit in the south and the Domagkpark district (on the site of the former radio barracks ) in the north.

history

As part of the municipal guideline of “socially just land use”, the 40.5 hectare former industrial area has been redesigned into a new district according to plans by the architects André Perret and the landscape architect Rainer Schmidt . The area was completely reorganized, previous streets such as Duisburger Straße, Krefelder Straße, Ruhrortstraße and Magdeburger Straße were built over or relocated. The name probably goes back to the "Project Advisory Board Parkstadt Schwabing".
