Untergiesing, ending in the west at the river.

History and description

Borough 5 Au-Haidhausen, Location

in Munich

Au and Haidhausen used to be hostel areas for trade workers and day
labourers previous to the Mnchner Tor. Both formerly independent
munincipalities were incorporated on 1 October 1854 and developed into suburbs in the Grnderzeit. Many
breweries were located on the high banks of the Isar, thus right on the edge of the terrace. These were good
locations for deep natural water sources and beer cellars; for this reason, the name "Keller" (cellar) is still
used to refer to the brewery-restaurants nearby. Near Rosenheimer Platz on Rosenheimer street stood the
Brgerbrukeller, the location of the first assassination attempt on Adolf Hitler. Today, one of the largest
breweries in Munich can be found there: Paulaner, in Au.
Even though the structural integrity of buildings in Au was heavily compromised during the Second World
War and only a fifth of buildings dated before 1919 still stand, the historical townscape of Haidhausen
remains largely intact. Of high constructional significance is the Franzosenviertel ("the French quarter"), so
called because of given street names to locations of victory in battles of the German-French War. The
existence of good condition housing lead to Haidhausen becoming the second largest area of redevelopment
in the 1970s, alongside Schwanthalerhhe. This property redevelopment and revaluation triggered by the
uupgrade of accommodation lead to not only restructuring of a suburb to the outskirts of the area, but also a
change of image, thus putting Haidhausen in competition with Schwabing as a trendy area to live in Munich.
The balanced mixture of accommodation and living in Au and Haidhausen has shifted towards housing; this
is due to the outsourcing of otherwise bothersome trades. Most jobs in the district lie in service industries
and other public areas.
Haidhausen accommodates the Bayerische Landtag in the Maximilianeum, the Klinikum rechts der Isar and
the Wiener Markt. On the northern border the Friedensengel (peace angel) towers above the city on the Isar

plateau. If one follows Prinzregentenstrae. from there to the east, around 100 metres along on the right
hand side is the Villa Stuck, that the "Malerfrst" ("Painter prince") Franz von Stuck allowed to be
constructed according to his own blueprints. As of 2004 the entirely reconditioned buildings of the Villa and
the former studio is now an art museum. Further east down Prinzregentenstrae lies the
Prinzregententheater, one of the most striking art nouveau theatre buildings in Germany; adjacent to which
is the Prinzregentenstadion, which serves as a popular ice skating venue in winter. With the Maria-TheresiaGymnasium in the south the district also accommodates one of the few German Schools of Excellence.
With the Auer Dult taking place three times per year at the Mariahilfplatz, and the tapping of Bock at the
Nockherberg in the Salvatorkeller of the Paulaner brewery on the Hochstrae (High street), rebuilt after
heavy fire damage, Au has a significant amount of traditional daily culture.
Between the Mariahilfplatz and the Nockherberg, through which the Auer Mhlbach borders, is Neudeck
Prison, a youth and female detention centre. The neo-baroque building constructed at the beginning of the
20th century has provisions for 124 detainees. According to 2006 plans, the prison is to be relocated and a
hotel established in its place.
In the last few years, the average age of people in both borough districts has become lower. Just under a
quarter of the borough's inhabitants are foreigners; by proportion, the east Asian population is the largest of
Munich.
