At that time, for the 1972 Olympic Games, the representatives of the press were housed there.
Today it is a residential building with a magnificent view of Munich and the Alps.

The Olympia-Pressestadt is located to the west of the entire Olympiapark area between the Munich Olympiastadion / Landshuter Allee railway line in the east, Moosacher Strasse in the north and Hanauer Strasse in the west. [36] A building complex with a total of 45 houses was created. During the Olympic Games, it temporarily served as accommodation for around 4,000 journalists. In the telecommunications center, the journalists made 26,723 calls on 110 (mind you permanently installed) telephones and sent 9,837 telegrams with a total of 6,377,718 words. A popular meeting point was the lobby on the ground floor with its 120 seats and a huge wall of monitors, on which all the Olympic competitions currently taking place could be seen at the same time. The center was the building at Riesstrasse 50. Until 1999, the building was home to the vocational training center for electrical engineering, after which it was demolished.

Today the Riesstrasse vocational school center of the state capital of Munich is located on the site with the vocational schools for taxes, information technology, office communication and industrial management, retail and media design, which was completed in 2006.

The building at Riesstrasse 82, which was also built for the games, is 83 meters high and is currently the 12th tallest building in the city.

Today around 1,800 people live in the press city

Press city
A somewhat puzzling name for a housing estate. There are no publishers, radio or television stations or newspapers only in the shops of the nearby Olympia shopping center. The background to this name is that during the time of the Olympic Games, this western part of the Olympic Park housed the approximately 4,000 journalists who had traveled from all over the world to report on the Games.
In the telecommunications center, the journalists made 26,723 calls on 110 fixed telephones and sent 9,837 telegrams with a total of 6,377,718 words. A popular meeting point was the lobby on the ground floor with its 120 seats and a huge wall of monitors, on which all the Olympic competitions currently taking place could be seen at the same time.
