Munich: landscape park in Freiham comes bit by bit – Munich

The southern part of the Freiham landscape park can probably be realized from 2026 onwards. 35,000 square meters in the south-eastern area with “generous woodland, various sports fields and areas for children’s play, youth play and urban gardening” are to be produced in their final state, as city planning officer Elisabeth Merk explains in an answer to a CSU city council application. There are also 65,000 square meters a little further west, which are initially to be designed provisionally. Both with the aim of providing the future residents of Freiham with sufficient local recreation areas by the end of 2027, before the completion of the first realization phase of Freiham-Nord in 2028.

In addition, the municipality, in close cooperation with the federal Autobahn GmbH, “succeeded in reducing the competition for space between the expansion of the A99 and the landscape park to a minimum,” says Merk. The partial narrowing of the landscape park announced in autumn 2021 as a result of the eastward shift of the Germering-Nord junction by up to 40 meters could “thus be averted”. This means that the six-lane expansion of the ring road is less of a burden on Freiham Landscape Park than initially feared.

The park on the border to Germering, primarily intended for the future 30,000 residents of Freiham and their neighbors as a recreational area, was originally planned to be 58 hectares – roughly the size of the west park. The announcement a good year ago that it might have to be narrowed caused outrage in the Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied district. Many city councilors were also upset, especially since this innovation threw the schedule upside down. The planners reacted and divided the parking area into a southern part that could be built in advance and a northern part that was to be built later.
