A new quarter on railway land
Until the late 1990s, the area between Arnulfstraße and the railway was a Deutsche Bahn container yard. Once rail use was abandoned, the City of Munich and private investors began developing a new district from 2002: Arnulfpark. The central axis is Marlene-Dietrich-Straße — named after the Berlin-born star (1901–1992), who connected the international glamour axis with her Munich acting training in Maxvorstadt.
Today around 5,000 people live in Arnulfpark in some 3,000 dwellings, alongside office buildings (including Google in the Postpalast), hotels and a central park. The character is mixed — modern architecture, lively ground-floor uses, good connections via the Donnersbergerbrücke S-Bahn station.
