Untergiesing-Harlaching

Untergiesing-Harlaching is a residential area in southeast Munich that stretches along the Isar River and contains three distinct districts. The land features high terraces created by the river's geology, which shape how the neighborhoods sit on the ground.

The area was originally a farming village called Giesing and became part of Munich in 1854 as the city expanded outward. This moment marked the shift from rural settlement to urban neighborhood.

The St.-Anna-Kicherl church shapes the appearance of Harlaching and serves as a place where the community gathers for services and celebrations. Here, you can see how religious life and neighborhood traditions have remained connected across generations.

The area connects easily to Munich's bus and train network, making it accessible from many parts of the city. Being near the Isar River gives you access to green spaces and riverside paths for walking and cycling.

Archaeological finds from the Iron Age show that people lived in Harlaching long before the modern city developed. These early traces point to a particularly long human presence in this spot.
