Schwabing

Schwabing and Freimann on a map from 1858

Schwabing was first mentioned in a document as Suuapinga in 782 . The name comes from Swapo and means settlement of a Swabian . The village was elevated to a town in 1886 and then incorporated into Munich in 1890. As early as 1909, the then new development areas in the west of the former Schwabing urban area were separated from the Schwabing district and elevated to a separate district. In 1996, the area was expanded to include northern Schwabing with the hospital and Luitpoldpark and the southeastern part of the Oberwiesenfeld , which was previously part of Neuhausen. As a result, the city district tripled its area and the number of inhabitants doubled.

Historic districts of the former city of Schwabing in what is now the city district

  • Konradshof , Stadt Schwabing: The place was first mentioned in 1260 as Chunratshoven . The meaning of the name can be derived almost literally: Hof einer Konrad. The identity of this Konrad is controversial; this is probably the person of the provost Konrad von Schäftlarn, since the Schäftlarn monastery owned the fields on the southern part of the Oberwiesenfeld until the secularization of 1803. These fields were leased to citizens of Munich. An associated homestead never existed. Since the reorganization of the city districts, part of it belongs to the city district of Neuhausen-Nymphenburg .

New districts in the area of ​​the former city of Schwabing in what is now the city district

  • Military housing complex in Barbarastraße : The small housing complex, also known as the Barbarasiedlung , was built in 1909/10 for employees of the nearby Army Clothing Office who were soldiers without active service.

New development areas around 1900

The new development areas that were built around 1900 do not have their own official name. These districts, often in Art Nouveau style, were loosened up by a series of squares, each of which represented a center of the district and was mostly given additional weight by a public institution such as a school or a municipal office. This square concept of the Gründerzeit town planning was retained even after the First World War . The most important places are: Kurfürstenplatz , Hohenzollernplatz , Elisabethplatz , Bayernplatz, Scheidplatz , Pündterplatz, Kölner Platz and Bonner Platz . This rather upper-class area was rounded off by the Luitpoldpark, which was laid out in 1912 . The vacant lots were closed in the 1950s and 1970s, some of which were badly damaged in the Second World War . From around 1985 the renovation of the old buildings, which is still very distinctive.

General

Social structure

The Schwabing-West district is clearly middle-class oriented . The proportion of qualified employees is above average, so the level of training is correspondingly high. 63 percent of all households in the district are one-person households, especially with younger and middle-aged residents; families with children are rather underrepresented at 11 percent. 26 percent of all households in the district are childless multi-person households. As of December 31, 2014, the proportion of foreigners was 22.3 percent, which is just below the city average (26.4 percent).

Due to the relatively high proportion of jobs in public institutions and administrations, the service sector and trade dominate, which together account for 60 percent of jobs.
