Living in Haidhausen: historic district with market life and short distances
Popular, central and lively
Haidhausen is located east of the Isar and is one of the inner-city locations with particularly good spatial orientation. The district combines its proximity to the city center with a very independent structure of squares, residential streets and historic quarters. Added to this is the location between Max-Weber-Platz, Wiener Platz, Weißenburger Platz and Ostbahnhof, which makes Haidhausen particularly easy to access in everyday life.
In terms of urban development, Haidhausen is particularly striking because of the French Quarter. From Orleansplatz, several axes radiate out into this quarter; it got its name because the streets and squares were laid out in the French style. This structure not only makes the location unmistakable, but also very legible.
Neighboring districts
Haidhausen borders on several very different areas of Munich. To the west, there is a direct connection to the Isar and beyond towards the city center, to the south to the Au, to the east towards Berg am Laim and to the northeast to Bogenhausen.

From a residential perspective, Haidhausen lives above all from its rare combination of historical substance and urban suitability for everyday use. The district used to be a hostel and workers' suburb, developed strongly in the Wilhelminian era and has preserved a cityscape of narrow streets, squares and old buildings from different eras. While a large part of the old buildings in the Au were destroyed in the war, Haidhausen's historic image around the Franzosenviertel has been largely preserved.
It is precisely this architectural continuity that characterizes the residential area to this day. Haidhausen does not look like a museum, but rather lively and grown. The redevelopment of the district and the direct S-Bahn and U-Bahn connections to the city center have further reinforced the structural and image change. Today, Haidhausen is therefore a location for people who want to combine central routes, a beautiful cityscape and strong local amenities.

Shopping
Haidhausen is very well equipped for everyday needs. There are numerous stores, supermarkets, pharmacies and smaller suppliers around Rosenheim Platz, Ostbahnhof and Wiener Platz. The mixture of practical local amenities and established, owner-managed stores, which give the district its unique character, is particularly pleasant
Gastronomy
The gastronomy in Haidhausen is varied and strongly influenced by the character of the district. Cafés, restaurants, bars and traditional pubs can be found around Wiener Platz, Weißenburger Straße and Franzosenviertel. The Wiener Markt in particular, with its small culinary delights and neighborhood atmosphere, brings additional culinary life to the district.
Leisure
Nature and exercise are not neglected in Haidhausen either. The proximity to the Isar and the Isar floodplains offers good opportunities for walking, cycling and jogging. The recreational value is complemented by the Müller public swimming pool, smaller green spaces and various sports and exercise facilities in the district and in the immediate vicinity.
