Living in Schwabing
The former artists' quarter
Due to its rich history, Schwabing is one of Munich's most famous areas. Even today, it still draws from the image as a Bohemian and artist's quarter, which it earned in the late 19th century. Back then, many artists and creatives settled down in Schwabing, amongst them such big names as Thomas Mann and Wassily Kandinsky. Over the course of several decades, they shaped the quarter into a retreat for nonconformists and creatives from all over the world.

Schwabing is one of Munich's best-known districts thanks to its eventful history. Even today, it lives on its image as a bohemian and artists' quarter, which it earned at the end of the 19th century. Back then, many artists and cultural figures settled in Schwabing, including big names such as Thomas Mann and Wassily Kandinsky. For several decades, they shaped the image of the district as a refuge for unconventional and creative people from all over the world.
After becoming infamous as a chic center in the post-war period, Schwabing is now mainly known as a nightlife district. The magnificent Leopoldstrasse divides the district into West and East and is still the city's most famous promenade. The eastern part is bordered directly by the English Garden, while the western part of this idyllic district extends as far as Kurfürstenplatz and Hohenzollernplatz. Around the so-called"Münchner Freiheit", which is not only a traffic junction but also the center of the nightlife district, there are numerous bars, cinemas and smaller theaters, some of which have a long tradition. Finally, Schwabing is also home to numerous boutiques and stores that invite you to go on a shopping spree.
The district's rich history and varied range of leisure activities still make it one of the most sought-after addresses in Munich today. Apartments here benefit from excellent transport links and a central location. Numerous parks also offer beautiful recreational areas in the middle of the city. If you have not found a suitable offer in Schwabing, then it is worth taking a look at other central districts such as Maxvorstadt, Ludwigsvorstadt or Altstadt - Zentrum.
