Arnulfpark, a modern city quarter with residential and office buildings, cultural facilities and restaurants, is located in the immediate vicinity.

Escalators or elevators take passengers to the first floor, where the shopping arcade with retail and catering areas is located, giving the ZOB an airport-like character.

The futuristic exterior façade is based on the shape of an ICE powerhead, which was to fit in with the redesign of Munich's main railway station discussed at the time.

In 2014, the ZOB was acquired by the Munich issuing house WealthCap,[2] previously owned by the project developer Hochtief.

For example, buses operated by companies such as Flixbus or IC Bus, which offer national and international connections, regularly stop at the ZOB.
