Studentenstadt

Besides the Olympic Village, it is the second largest student accommodation managed by the Studentenwerk München.

In order to create affordable housing relatively quickly, several "Wohncontainer" similar to mobile homes were set up near the Studentenstadt buildings.

The streets that run through Studentenstadt are named after the World War II era resistance group, the White Rose.

The Bavarian Prime Minister Hanns Seidel set aside a parcel of land of about 8 hectares on the border of the English Garden for use by the Studentenwerk München.

A series of hearings and meetings took place between the state of Bavaria and Studentenwerk München.

At the beginning of the project, the Max Kade Foundation donated 1,000,000 German marks.

The U-Bahn stop at Studentenstadt was opened on October 19, 1971, just as 8 of the 14 houses were completed.

The highpoint of cultural life at Studentenstadt is the Student Culture Festival, or StuStaCulum[1], a festival held annually since 1989 in early summer by many theatre groups, bands, and artists.
