Living in Giesing: urban living with lots of character between Berg, the train station and the Isar river
The unconventional quarter
Giesing is located south-east of Munich city center and connects two very different urban areas. Obergiesing is located on the eastern Isar hill terrace on Giesinger Berg, while Untergiesing stretches down towards the Isar floodplains. This creates a special residential area: denser, more urban and street-oriented at the top, more atmospheric and closer to open spaces at the bottom.
Adjacent neighborhoods and important points of reference
The adjacent districts and important connections play a key role in everyday orientation: Au, Haidhausen, Ramersdorf, Perlaching, Harlaching and the axes towards the city center characterize the location of Giesing.
The spatial picture also includes prominent locations such as Tegernseeer Platz, Giesing train station, Grünwald stadium and Giesinger Grünspitz. It is precisely this mixture of transport hubs, historic elevations and mature residential areas that makes Giesing easy to understand and clearly classifiable within Munich.

Giesing is particularly interesting for people who want to live in a central and urban location but are not looking for a smoothly curated inner-city district. The district is traditionally regarded as a working-class neighborhood and has also become much more attractive thanks to renovations and new housing offers.
It is precisely this combination that is decisive for the residential perspective: Giesing thrives on corners, edges, everyday life and authenticity - not perfection.
Giesing is surprisingly diverse as a residential location. Practically every type of housing can be found here, from detached houses to multi-storey apartment blocks. This diversity is complemented by new neighborhoods such as the Parkviertel Giesing with over 900 apartments, offices, stores, daycare centers and parking spaces.
Anyone searching in Giesing is therefore rarely looking for just one particular type of house. It is usually about the right mix of location, atmosphere, housing type and good accessibility.
Typical resident groups are:
- Singles, couples, urban households with a desire for something more down-to-earth
- Employees with good public transport connections
- Fans of residential areas close to the island and those looking for temporary living in a Munich district with a strong character
- Depending on the micro-location, Giesing is also interesting for families, especially where quiet residential streets and good distances to daycare centers, schools and open spaces come together
