production and other kinds of commercial space. The first phase of
construction began in mid-2000. For further information on the project, please contact Planning Department Ms. Camilla Will Tel.: (+49-89) 233 220 83 Fax: (+49-89) 233 205 69 E-mail: camilla.will@muenchen.de |

Munich's rail artery is many visitors' first sight of Munich - the eight kilometers of transloading facilities and rail sidings lining the eight kilometers of track stretching from Pasing (the city's westernmost train station) to the city's main train station. The building of new facilities on the city outskirts and the upgrading of traffic management systems has freed much of the space flanking the city's main rail lines for redevelopment. Taking the trains' place will be parks lined with bicycle and hiking paths, and dotted with residential and commercial quarters. The buildings to be constructed in them will be home to 17,000 persons. Some 11,000 persons will work in the rail artery's commercial premises. For further information, please contact |

The Panzerwiese is located in northern Munich. Its name - 'field of tanks' refers to a previous use: as a rallying point for armored vehicles. The tanks are long gone. The original flora and fauna have taken their place. Today, 30% of the 200-hectare-large site is being developed into a new residential quarter. It is to have more than 2,700 housing units, of which the first have already been completed.

Many of the soldiers staffing the tanks lived in the Waldmann and Stetten barracks. The soldiers were reassigned to other quarters, leaving the site - the Ackermannbogen - on which the barracks stood, located between Munich's Olympic park and the main reaches of the city's elegant Schwabing district, free for redevelopment. This will yield 2,000 housing units, plus a large amount of commercial space. To purchase developable property, please contact Department of
Civic Affairs For further information on properties available in areas availing
themselves of public sector support for housing, please contact
