Au-Haidhausen

Au-Haidhausen is a district on the eastern bank of the Isar River, combining two separate neighborhoods connected by narrow streets lined with traditional Bavarian buildings. The area extends along the riverbank, featuring residential architecture from different periods of Munich's development.

The area originated as a workers' settlement outside Munich's medieval walls and was officially incorporated as the fifth district in 1854. This merger reflected the city's growth during Bavaria's industrialization period.

The Gasteig stands as the primary cultural venue for classical music performances, housing the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra and hosting numerous theatrical productions. The area draws visitors who seek out concerts and artistic events throughout the year.

The Ostbahnhof station provides multiple train connections to local and regional destinations, making the district easily accessible. The public transport network connects all areas within the neighborhood and links to the rest of the city.

The Auer Dult market takes place three times yearly at Mariahilfplatz, bringing together traditional Bavarian goods, antiques, and household items for thousands of visitors. This market has deep roots in local tradition and draws both residents and travelers.
