Kirschgaerten

The Kirschgaerten [Kirsch garden] on the former site of the steam sawmill Theodor Kirsch & Sons in Munich-Untermenzing was acquired in 2015. It covers an area of approximately 120,000 m² and extends from the neighbourhood centre at Oertelplatz in the north along Kirschstraße in the east to the adjacent residential development on Allacher Straße in the south. It is nestled in the middle of a small-scale residential area with single-family and multi-family houses and is conveniently connected to the Allach and Untermenzing S-Bahn stops.

Currently, the industrial park is mainly used as a warehouse and logistics location with a floor area of ​​approx. 100,000 m². As part of the development plan procedure, a new living quarter with round about 1,300 apartments and a social infrastructure is to be created on the approximately 120,000 m² area in order to close the gap to the housing development that has approached over the years. The neighbourhood is also enhanced by approx. 59,000 m² of green spaces including an 24,000 m² public landscape park. The new floor area will comprise approx. 126,000 m². The first construction phase will be realised from the year 2024 onwards.

One of Munich's largest and greenest projects

The approximately 12-hectare kirschgaerten on the property of the former steam sawmill Theodor Kirsch & Sons is currently one of Munich's largest inner-city development areas. In the course of a development plan process, a sustainable and lively residential area is being created, which will enhance the location with its large proportion of greenery and will offer future residents a high quality of life.

Location & Surroundings

The Kirschgelände is located in the Munich district of Allach-Untermenzing. This district is known and loved above all for its proximity to nature: many green spaces, the river Würm, the Beersiedlung and, last but not least, the 40-hectare Angerlohe forest area make Untermenzing a district with a high quality of life and living. When walking along the Würm, you quickly forget that you are in the big city.

Despite the rural flair, the city is within easy reach: The city centre of Munich is only a few minutes away by S-Bahn and the airport is also easy to reach. In addition, the neighbourhood itself, with its centre at Oertelplatz, offers everything your heart desires: be it shopping facilities, doctors and pharmacies or places to relax.

Then & now

Over 120 years ago, the industrial entrepreneur Theodor Kirsch founded the steam sawmill Theodor Kirsch & Söhne on the site now named after him. It was the second branch of the main factory in Thuringia and at the same time the first industrial plant in what is now the city of Munich. He thus led both the city of Munich and Allach, which was still very much a village at the time, into a new age.

Today, our aim is to revive the creativity, visions and pioneering spirit of the founder in the new quarter on the Kirsch site. In doing so, the emotional and historical significance of the site as well as its influence on the city of Munich serve as an important basis for the quarter's development. The aim is to return the site to its original purpose by creating an urban living space that offers people a home fit for the future and sustainably changes the view of urban living.

"Our goal: a neighbourhood that is lively and of high ecological and urban development quality. It should be integrated into the surrounding residential development, but at the same time it should develop an independent identity."
