history

prehistory

Listed former administration building of the Rhenania company in Friedenstrasse
Before 1996

In the far west of Berg am Laim, along Friedenstrasse and Grafinger Strasse, in the immediate vicinity of Munich's Ostbahnhof, there was still an industrial site in the 1980s, on which, among other things, a location for the Rhenania forwarding company and the industrial management company ( IVG ) as well as the Pfanni parent plant and Optimol Ölwerke , manufacturers of lubricating oils, were located. The vehicle manufacturer Zündapp had a location on Anzinger Strasse that went bankrupt in 1984. After the Optimolwerke had been sold in 1992 and only a little later, in 1996, Pfanni relocated its production from Munich to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , the factory premises were given up.

The company Rohde & Schwarz is located in the northern part of the Werksviertel . It had already carried out some modernization measures before the actual planning phase in the Werksviertel. The more recent construction measures are part of the Werksviertel development plan.

1996 to 2003

The now fallow Pfanni- and Optimol site was leased to the Munich entrepreneur Wolfgang Nöth , who built an amusement park, the Kunstpark Ost (KPO), there.

From September 1996 up to thirty discos opened , such as the Babylon  (picture) , Ultraschall , KW - Das Heizkraftwerk , Natraj Temple and K 41, as well as clubs, bars, restaurants, amusement arcades, artist studios and small businesses. There were concerts and art and antique flea markets. Not least because of its convenient location, the park developed into an attraction that attracted numerous visitors from near and far, especially on the weekends. At the end of January 2003 the Kunstpark Ost was dissolved.

2003 to 2016
Entrance to the former cult factory (2007)

Successors were Kultfabrik  (picture) , an account opened on 11 April 2003 arts center, as well as the Optimolwerke , an adjacent club area on the former premises of OPTIMOL Ölwerke. The Kultfabrik existed until the end of 2015 (some parts until 2016), the Optimolwerke until 2018. Both had to give way to the urban development project for the new Werksviertel.

planning phase

In 2001 the city of Munich launched an ideas competition “Around the Ostbahnhof” (ROST) for an area of ​​115 hectares east and west of the Ostbahnhof, which in addition to the current Werksviertel also included parts of Haidhausen . The planning for this large project was abandoned and limited to today's Werksviertel area. To this end, the city council decided in October 2011 to draw up the development plan with green regulations 2061 . After a few concept changes, including the decision for a primary school in 2014, he passed the statute resolution for the development plan in autumn 2017, which came into force in April 2018. The “iCampus Rhenania” ensemble in the northern part of the Werksviertel is designated as the core area MK1 in the 2061 development plan.

The name Werksviertel for the newly emerging quarter came up in 2012.

realization

Already in 2012 the construction of the office tower was Medienbrücke completed, the offices are let to companies in the media industry. After the end of the cult factory, WERK3 was built in spring 2016 as a conversion of one of the earlier industrial buildings. In 2018, the zoning plan paved the way for full implementation for the cultural, office and residential buildings as well as traffic and parks in the Werksviertel. This includes the future concert hall in Munich as well as hotels and restaurants and sports facilities. The Werksviertel will create around 7,000 new jobs and offer a little over a thousand apartments for around 3,000 residents. As an interim use of the area intended for the concert hall, the 78 meter high Hi-Sky Ferris wheel , which has been operating under the name Umadum since July 2020 , was put into operation in April 2019 . In 2019 the Boulderwelt München Ost moved into a new building that belongs to the “Plaza-Quartier”, part of the “iCampus” ensemble.

Five hotels are being built in the Werksviertel, mainly in the center of the quarter. The 24-story "Werk 4" hotel tower is particularly striking. After the renovation of the former Pfanni potato silo, two hotels are being built on top of each other on behalf of Otec GmbH: a luxury apartment hotel on the upper 16 floors, a cheaper youth hostel below.

In the course of the redesign, a new road and path network is being created. The western section of Grafinger Straße will be abandoned (see the course of the new August-Everding-Straße). Some of the new street names, such as Speicherstraße , refer to the former industrial site, Otto-Eckart-Platz honors the food entrepreneur Otto Eckart . Other streets pay tribute to celebrities from the performing arts such as the director August Everding , the actress Hanne Hiob and the opera singer Erika Köth .
