Schlachthof München, Slaughterhouse in Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, Germany.
Schlachthof München is a slaughterhouse in Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt that displays architecture from the late 1870s with red brick walls and large halls for meat processing. The complex with multiple courtyards and side buildings was designed according to the most modern sanitation standards of that era.
Architect Arnold Zenetti developed the complex between 1876 and 1878 after studying similar facilities in European cities. The building embodied technical advances in meat processing and hygiene requirements of the late 19th century.
The complex functions today as a gathering place where visitors come to attend concerts, exhibitions, and markets or host celebrations. This transformation into a cultural hub has given the space new meaning while keeping its industrial heritage visible.
The complex is centrally located in Munich and is easily accessible by public transportation. When planning a visit, check ahead what events are currently happening since the programming changes regularly.
The site was long Munich's center for industrial meat processing and supplied the entire city with products. Its transformation from a working production facility into a dynamic venue shows how the city repurposes its industrial past.
