Wohnanlage Genter Straße, Residential complex in Schwabing-West, Munich, Germany.

Description

The Wohnanlage Genter Straße is a residential complex in Munich made up of seven distinct housing units built on concrete pillars and cantilever supports. The layered facades create varied and interconnected living spaces that adapt to different household sizes.

History

Architects Otto Steidle, Doris Thut, and Ralph Thut designed this housing development in 1972 at a moment when post-war German building practices were evolving. It represented a shift toward flexible living arrangements instead of standardized housing blocks.

Culture

The complex was designed so that outdoor staircases and shared zones naturally bring residents together in daily life. Neighbors encounter each other while moving through these semi-public spaces, creating opportunities for spontaneous interaction.

Practical

The complex is located in Schwabing-West and can be explored on foot using the pathways that connect the structures. Walking around gives good views of how the skeletal frameworks allow individual units to be arranged independently.

Did you know?

Two additional similar housing clusters were built between 1972 and 1976 nearby, creating together a settlement that feels like a small village. This grouping is a rare example of coordinated neighborhood development in Munich.
