Tbp386/Haidhausen

This is a Wikivoyage user page.

Haidhausen is a mixed residential and night life area just to the east of Munich's historic city center on the eastern banks of the river Isar. It consists largely of the boroughs of Haidhausen, Au, Alt-Bogenhausen, and Untergiesing. Au-Haidhausen, founded towards the beginning of the 9th century, was originally a quarter for day laborers and craftsmen, outside the city fortifications. It was incorporated in the city of Munich in 1854. The center of this neighborhood is the French Quarter - the streets here are named after places in France and the layout of the street grid copies that of French cities - right in front of Munich East station. Although heavily destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II, there are still some buildings preserved from the end of the 18th century. Today, Au-Haidhausen is a popular ditrict to live in. Moreover, the area has a very high density of bars and clubs, with Kultfabrik (which claims to be the largest party zone in Europe, as it has been developed into a maze of bars, clubs, skate parks, cinemas, games halls, climbing walls, etc.) and Optimolwerke being the most famous. Contrary to Au#Haidhausen, Alt-Bogenhausen was virtually undamaged during WWII and today is one of the most exclusive residential areas of Munich. Untergiesing, which was incorporated into Munich together with its northers neighbors, used to be a typical working-class neigborhood. Its main attractions nowadays are the recultivated banks of the Isar, where people on warm summer evenings gather to enjoy a local beer and relax in the sun. The area roughly is bounded by the river Isar to the west, Mittlerer Ring (B2R) urban expressway to the north and north-east, Leuchtenbergring and Ampfingstraße to the east, and Werinherstraße and Candidstraße (B 2R) to the south.

Get in

By car

The Haidhausen area is close to the ends of autobahns A 8, A 995 from the south and A 94 from eastern directions, and therefore easily accessible by car. The main arteries of the area running from east to west (and vice versa) are Prinzregentenstraße and Einsteinstraße in the north of the area, which connect the city center to autobahn A 94, and Rosenheimer Straße, which cuts right through the center of the area and conncets the city center with autobahn A 8. Going from north to south (and vice versa) the most important streets are Orleansstraße, Tegernseer Landstraße, and Richard-Strauss-Straße. Traffic can be very heavy, especially during rush hours, and parking is scarce and mostly limited to residents with special parking permits.

By suburban train (S-Bahn)

• S-Bahn lines S1, S2, S3, S4, S6, S7, S8, and S27 stop at Rosenheimer Platz and Munich East (Ostbahnhof).

• At Munich East (Ostbahnhof) S-Bahn lines S2, S4, S6, and S8' go on in north-eastern direction and serve the station at Leuchtenbergring, while S3 and S7 branch off to the south to stop at Sankt-Martin-Straße.

By subway (U-Bahn)

• Subway line U1 (dark green), coming from the city center at Sendlinger Tor and traversing Isarvorstadt, stops at Kolumbusplatz and Candidplatz in the very south of the area, and goes on in southern direction.

• Subway lines U2 (red) and U7 (gold), coming from the city center at Sendlinger Tor, operate in the very south of the area as well and stop at Kolumbusplatz, Silberhornstraße, and Karl-Preis-Platz to go on in eastern direction.

• Subway line U4 (light green), coming from the city center at Odeonsplatz, stops at Max-Weber-Platz, Prinzregentenplatz, Böhmerwaldplatz, and Richard-Strauss-Straße serves the Alt-Bogenhausen area in the north of the district.

• Subway line U5 (brown), coming from the city center at Odeonsplatz, stops at Max-Weber-Platz and Munich East (Ostbahnhof) and goes on in south-eastern direction.

By Tram

• Tram lines 15 and 25 run though the whole area from south to north with stops including Max-Weber-Platz and Ostfriedhof and connect it to the southern parts of East Munich.

• Tram line 16, coming from the city center at Sendlinger Tor and Isartor serves the north-western and northern parts of the area with a number of stops along Innere Wiener Straße with stops at Am Gasteig, Wiener Platz, Max-Weber-Platz, and Friedensengel, and the terminus at Effnerplatz.

• Tram line 17, arriving from the city center at Sendlinger Tor, cuts through the southern center of the Haidhausen area with stops including Marishilfplatz and Ostfriedhof to continue in south-eatern direction.

• Tram line 19, coming from the very city center at Nationaltheater, cuts through the northern center of area with stops including Maximilianeum, Max-Weber-Platz, and Ostbahnhof. It goes on to the central part of East Munich.

By bicycle

Going to the Haidhausen area by bike - though only a short way from the city center with bike lanes along the streets - is rather for the sporty type, as the ascent from river Isar up to the center of Haidhausen is quite steep.

Get around

As most of the locations of touristic interest are within an 800 m radius around Munich East (Ostbahnhof), it's no problem to explore the area on foot. Another option are Tram lines 15 and 25, which cover the whole area, and Tram line 16, which will take you to all major sights of the area. As everywhere in Munich, exploring the area by bike is always an option - however, in this case it's rather for the sporty type as there are some steep ascents in the area.

Do

• 1 Auer Dult, Mariahilfplatz (Tram 17: Mariahilfplatz). Auer Dult is an annual market, that takes place three times a year for nine days in May, July, and the weekend after Kermesse.

Käfer is a name, that is familiar to most Munich residents as a top address for fine dining. Käfer-Schänke across the street from Prinzregententheater is a sure thing, if you want to taste great food - and pay accordingly. The restaurant is a Munich institution. Besides the main room, there are 12 private dining rooms available in various styles and sizes. The culinary delight and pampering service comes at a high price, even by the otherwise not cheap Munich standards. 

• 8 L'Angolo della Pizza (Italian), Breisacher Straße 30 (S-Bahn & U-Bahn: Ostbahnhof), ☏ +49 89 4488979, langolo@online.de. M-F 11:30-14:00 & 17:30-0:30, Sa-Su 16:00-0:30.

It has capacity for 500 guests and was ment to be extremely exclusive. But as there are three clubs in Munich trying to be "extremely exclusive" (P1 and 8 Seasons being the others) you may have a chance to get in (if you are well dressed, of course). 

• 3 Jazzclub Unterfahrt (Jazz club), Einsteinstraße 42 (U-Bahn U4, U5: Max-Weber-Platz), ☏ +49 89 4482794. 19:30-01:00; concerts start at 21:00. Jazz club that specializes in great jazz performances. Beer (0.5L) €3.50, Wine (0.2L) €4.70.

When all other locations close and you still haven't enough, the Johannis Café is still open and waiting for you.

From the classic "Into Something Friday" or an "Exclusive Line-Up", the Muffatwerk always has something "great" to offer. And if you get tired from dancing you can treat yourself to some well earned rest in the nearby café/bistro. 

• 7 Maria Passagne, Steinstraße 42 (U-Bahn U4, U5 & Trams 15, 16, 19, 25: Max-Weber-Platz), ☏ +49 89 486167. M-Th 19:00-01:00, F-Sa. No sign and just a bell at the door - when you pass by this bar you won't find it if you are not specifially looking for it. After ringing said bell and gaining entrance you find yourself in a small, dim lit bar with a very intimate atmosphere and good cocktails and long drinks - an almost perfect place for a (second or third) date. 

Kultfabrik & Optimolwerke

This place is a 60,000 m² (72,000 yd²) entertainment mecca. After Europe's then largest disco complex - located in the terminal buildings of the former Munich airport - had to close in 1996, the city had to find a replacement for the crowds of partygoers. It was called Kunstpark Ost (KPO) because of its location in a former industrial complex near the eastern railway station. Rumors about closing this area started soon and in 2003 it looked as if the days of the KPO were coming to an end, so some of the clubs moved to an area 200 m (220 yd) in the west, Optimolwerke. However, most clubs in the original area (renamed Kultfabrik) remain open.

Kultfabrik and Optimolwerke (and two more discos on the west end of the whole area) are one big complex and most people do not distinguish whether they go to Kultfabrik, Optimolwerke, or Kunstpark Ost. To have mor than 30 discos, clubs and bars on a relatively small area is brilliant and efficient as there is something for (nearly) every taste. And if you don't get into one, there is always another club to try. The crowds don't arrive until midnight or later, but if you come earlier, you are more likely to get cheaper/free entry.

• Americanos City, Grafinger Straße 6 (S-Bahn & U-Bahn: Ostbahnhof). Intimate space with a stylish decor, while the crowd can be quite young, the drinks pack a punch at a cheap price. 

• Living4, Garfinger Straße 6 (S-Bahn & U-Bahn: Ostbahnhof), ☏ +49 89 49001260. Th-Sa 22:00-05:00. Plays popular R'n'B and hip hop to a stylish crowd. Beer (0.33L €3).

Splurge

• 10 Hilton Munich City, Rosenheimer Str. 15. The Hilton enjoys a direct underground connection with the Rosenheimer Platz S-Bahn station, where many lines, including the S1 and S8 going to the airport, stop.
