Messestadt Riem

It is part of the municipality 15 Trudering-Riem, and located entirely on the grounds of Munich-Riem airport which closed in 1992 and now comprises a residential area, the Neue Messe München trade fair center and the Riem Arcaden shopping mall.

The lake is east to west 800 m long, 150 m wide, 10 ha in size, up to 18 m deep and contains 100,000 m3 of water.

Located near the west bank is two more, shallow sedimentation basins with water plants that are only 1100 and 800 m2 in size.

Messestadt Riem is connected to two Munich U-Bahn rapid transport stations and bus lines 139, 186, 189, 190 and N74.

Discussions are ongoing about a railway connection to Messestadt Riem as part of the Erding Ring Closure to the airport.
