Districts of Munich
The urban districts of Munich represent an administrative division of the urban area of the Bavarian capital Munich .
The Munich urban area is not divided into districts in the sense of municipal law, but - exclusively - into city districts . Their number had risen to 41 by the Second World War and was reduced to the current number of 25 during a reorganization in 1992 and 1996. In everyday use, however, the people of Munich refer more to the historically grown districts and quarters than to the administrative districts.
history
Since the Middle Ages, the city of Munich (today's old town ) was divided into four quarters. With the growth of the city outside the city walls in the 19th century, four outer quarters were added to the old inner quarters, which soon got their own names with the component "-vorstadt". With the expansion of the urban area through incorporations , the city was divided into districts, which were designated with Roman numerals. Newly incorporated municipalities were assigned to an existing city district (e.g. Oberföhring to district 29), set up as a separate city district (e.g. Berg am Laim as city district 31) or combined with other places to form a city district (e.g. Allach and Untermenzing to district 38). Up to the Second World War, 41 city districts were created.
When the district committees were set up in 1947 , considerations began to name the districts in order to make them appear less anonymous. These names largely corresponded to the historical place names, even if the boundaries of the city districts did not necessarily coincide with those of the former municipality. After several years of discussion, these names were decided on February 2, 1954 by the Munich City Council.
In 1992, the 41 districts that had existed until then were combined into 24. The city district 25 ( Laim ) was only created in 1996 through the separation from the Schwanthalerhöhe , after there was great resistance in the population against the merger of these two city districts in 1992.
As of January 1, 2011, the urban district parts and district quarters were redesigned.

Function and task
The city districts of Munich have the function of local self-government, provided that this is not performed directly by the city as a whole, which is decided by the city council. There are also district committees in the individual districts . The members of these “district parliaments” are elected at the local elections at the same time as the city council members.
Further subdivision
The 25 districts are divided into 108 districts (between 2 and 9 districts per district, depending on size and population), which, however, only serve administrative and statistical purposes and have no separate tasks. City district parts are designated with numbers consisting of the number of the city district, followed by a period and a digit. They also have a name, which is not necessarily a place name, but can also refer to individual objects located in the district part such as buildings (e.g. St. Benno, University, Am Westbad), streets (e.g. Schwere -Reiter-Straße, Balanstraße-West), squares (e.g. Königsplatz, Josephsplatz), parks (e.g. Englischer Garten Süd, Am Luitpoldpark), cemeteries (e.g. Am old southern cemetery, Am Waldfriedhof), etc. .

Below the subdivision level of the suburbs, there are 475 suburbs. These are divided into building blocks on the lowest level . A building block is a spatially contiguous area of land that is delimited - but not intersected - on all sides by roads, paths, railway lines, watercourses or other prominent topographical lines. The building blocks have no names, and only half of the boroughs (237 of 475) have names.
As of January 1, 2011, the urban district parts and district quarters were redesigned.

Other place names
The official city districts and city districts do not necessarily always coincide with the spatial ideas of the population. In addition, there are many other place names in Munich that cannot be found in the official names. The map on the right gives an (incomplete) overview of such place names.
