Munich/Haidhausen

Halal Explorer to Haidhausen Haidhausen is a mixed residential and night life area just to the east of Munich|Munich's historic downtown on the eastern banks of the river Isar. It consists largely of the boroughs of Haidhausen, Au, Alt-Bogenhausen, and Untergiesing. Au-Haidhausen, founded towards the beginning of the 9th century, was originally a quarter for day laborers and craftsmen, outside the city fortifications. It was incorporated into the city of Munich in 1854. The center of this neighborhood is the French Quarter - the streets here are named after places in France and the layout of the street grid copies that of French cities - right in front of Munich East station. Although heavily destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II and there are still some buildings preserved from the end of the 18th century. Today, Au-Haidhausen is a popular neighborhood to live in. Moreover and the area has a very high density of cafes and clubs, with Kultfabrik (which claims to be the largest party zone in Europe, as it has been developed into a maze of cafes, clubs, skate parks, cinemas, games halls, climbing walls, etc.) and Optimolwerke being the most famous. Contrary to Au-Haidhausen, Alt-Bogenhausen was virtually undamaged during WWII and today is one of the most exclusive residential areas of Munich. Untergiesing, which was incorporated into Munich together with its northers neighbors, used to be a typical working-class neighborhood. Its main attractions nowadays are the recultivated banks of the Isar, where people on warm summer evenings gather to enjoy a local organic juice and relax in the sun. The area roughly is bounded by the river Isar to the west, Mittlerer Ring (B2R) urban expressway to the north and north-east, Leuchtenbergring and Ampfingstraße to the east, and Werinherstraße and Candidstraße (B 2R) to the south.
