Giesing was first mentioned in documents at the end of the 8th century as Kyesinga and was incorporated into Munich in 1854 then divided into the districts of Obergiesing-Fasanengarten and Untergiesing-Harlaching in 1936. For a long time Giesing was considered a classic working-class district and is now an attractive residential area. Together, we will stroll along the Obergiesinger main road Tegernseer Landstraße from the Grünwalder Stadium via the Giesinger Grünspitz and the 'Tela-Post' to the Ostfriedhof, with side views of gastronomic places, the 'Dom' Heilig Kreuz and the picturesque Feldmüllersiedlung.

Join us for a walk through colourful and international Neuperlach. Planned in the 1960s as an „Entlastungstadt“ (overflow city), the district has become a beloved residential area for around 60,000 Munich residents, with green footpaths and bicycle-lanes, attractive shops and a lively cultural and social life. Discover the Perlach shopping areas, the "Wohnring" (residential complex) and its huge green areas, exciting social spaces (Shaere, Neuperland), renovation projects (NEBourhood, Quidde 35) and leisure activities (Maulwurfshausen adventure-playground, Ostpark, Michaelibad).
