Living in Au-Giesing
Close to the Isar
This former working-class area alongside the river Isar gets its charm from the many offset turn-of-the-century buildings and is especially popular with young people. Due to the quiet setting and its proximity to the city center and the idyllic banks of the river Isar, the quarter is also a perfect residential area.

Location
Au-Giesing, as the name suggests, lies between the historic districts of Au and Giesing, both of which are located on the eastern bank of the Isar. This former working-class district on the Isar gains its charm from the many interlocking old buildings and is particularly popular with young people. Due to its relatively quiet location, proximity to the Zentrum and the idyllic Isar meadows, the district is a perfect choice for living.
Leisure and sights
A central attraction is the Mariahilfkirche, a very beautiful neo-Gothic building, which also forms a historical focal point in the district. If you head south from there towards the Isar, you will come to the Frühlingsanlagen, a picturesque recreational area on the Isar floodplains. Here you will also find the Schyrenbad, an open-air swimming pool that attracts many visitors in summer with its expansive sunbathing areas. Right next to it is a large sports facility, and well-maintained footpaths and cycle paths along the Isar invite you to go for a walk or jog. If you move further east from Mariahilfplatz, however, you enter the heart of the district and reach Nockherberg. Every year in spring, the Paulaner brewery hosts the "Starkbieranstich", an event that is only surpassed in popularity by Munich's Oktoberfest.
Transport links
The central subway station for this district is Kolumbusplatz: the U1 and U2 lines offer a quick and easy connection to the city center or to the districts of Munich further afield.
Other popular districts in similarly good locations are Giesing, Sendling and Haidhausen. Here, too, you will find a wide range of apartments.
