Living in Schwabing-West (around Hohenzollernplatz)
Popular residential area
Schwabing the former bohemian quarter, with its beautiful turn-of-the-century buildings and less attractive post-war buildings in between, is now very popular with students because of its proximity to the University. It is also a very prestigious address for lawyers, insurance companies, and physicians, and a sought-after location for apartment rental in Munich.
The former artists' quarter in the west of Schwabing, with its beautiful old buildings interspersed with less attractive post-war buildings, is particularly popular with students due to its proximity to the university. Many lawyers, insurance companies and doctors have a prestigious address here.
The central Hohenzollernplatz is often the venue for district festivals and Christmas markets. Not far from here is the small but very popular Nordbad swimming pool. The Luitpoldpark further north, with the neo-baroque Bamberg House, is also an extensive recreational area in the heart of the city. The U2 underground line at Hohenzollernplatz station, as well as streetcar and bus lines, provide connections to local public transport. This makes it easy and convenient to reach the other districts and the city center of Munich.
