Giesing

Giesing (formerly Kyesinga) was a Bavarian town founded in 790[1] (older than Munich).

McGraw Kaserne and the Prison Munich Stadelheim are located there.

In this prison the members of the Weisse Rose (White Rose) Resistance group were killed by the Nazis and buried in the Perlacher Forest Cemetery which is the former Prison Cemetery.

Nowadays, Giesing is considered a multi-cultural district with people from various different cultural backgrounds.

Its relatively moderate renting fees have made the district popular amongst students and artists.
