Berg am Laim

Berg am Laim is a district in eastern Munich forming the city's 14th borough, combining residential buildings with industrial and commercial areas. The area features multiple green spaces and connects to the public transportation network through several U-Bahn stations along Innsbrucker Ring.

During the 19th century, the area developed as a settlement for railroad workers due to its location near Munich East railway station. Later, the Werksviertel transformed former industrial spaces into modern residential and office districts.

Saint Michael Church displays baroque and renaissance architecture with frescoes by Johann Baptist Zimmermann, showcasing southern German rococo design. Visitors experience this artistic craftsmanship directly when walking through the sacred space.

The area is well connected by public transportation with multiple access points for visitors exploring different parts. There is ample space for walking and exploring between buildings and green areas.

The area is known for transforming former factory sites into new residential and business spaces, with the Ten Towers complex standing as a prominent example. This shift demonstrates how old industrial land was converted into modern office space with mixed-use development.
