The Olympic Village, which we see on the left, is a residential complex that was built in the run-up to the 1972 Olympic Games. On the one hand, it provided accommodation for the national teams, and on the other hand, a new residential quarter for 600 people was to be built here in the long term. The entire Olympic Village was built from prefabricated concrete elements, primarily because of the short construction period. A special feature of the planning is that the residential quarter is car-free.
Almost the entire village is built one floor above ground. There are three ground-level access roads under the apartment blocks. This is also where the garages and basements of the apartments are located.
The city center can be reached within ten minutes on the U3 subway line (Olympiapark stop). However, since the Olympic Village was intended to be as independent as possible, all the facilities needed for daily life are available there. There is a small pedestrian zone with shops, bakeries, restaurants, a pharmacy, offices, several kindergartens, a school and an ecumenical church. The Olympic Village was given ensemble protection in 1998 together with the neighboring sports facilities. Even today it is a popular residential area in Munich.
The most well-known element of the artistic design in the Olympic Village is probably the
media lines by Hans Hollein. The media lines, which are understood as an artistic activation of the pedestrian zone, consist of colored pipes that are located at a height of 3.5 meters along the pedestrian levels. They are intended as a guidance system, but also have the function of lighting the paths. The different colors are intended to be an orientation aid, but it is also intended as an information carrier.
