    Claude-Lorrain-Straße

    A reminder of WWII, this former high-rise air raid shelter is now one of Munich’s most exclusive residential complexes.

    Untere Weidenstraße

    We’re now in the Scherbenviertel—the “district of shards”—a once-poor neighborhood that was frequently flooded by the Isar River. Two small, beautifully preserved workers’ cottages from that time still stand as quiet reminders of the past. Now listed as historical ensemble, they also lead us to a nearby scandal involving similar cottages and the fight to preserve Munich’s architectural heritage.
