History and description

Typical of the borough is its mix of different urban areas. In the end of the 19th Century in the vicinity of the castle's avenues a prestigious residential neighborhood was built in which numerous examples of late nineteenth architecture, like the villas colonies Neuwittelsbach and Gern has been received.

In 1890 the borough Neuhausen was unincorporated, which had already been a prosperous district. It was dominated by residential and office houses in a closed, dense block-building style. Along the Arnulfroad and its side streets, these are often cooperative apartment buildings such as the partly under preservation attempt-settlement of the Bavarian Post and Telegraph Association and the village of Neuhausen. In the north of the Rotkreuzplatz there are more villas and town houses of the early days.

In the south along the railway tracks there are partly dominating large-scale commercial used buildings. Center and urban hub of the neighborhood of the Rotkreuzplatz. Some well-preserved buildings from the founder and inter-war period with the rich variety of green spaces give Neuhausen a high quality of living. While the old quarters in the vicinity of Nymphenburgerstreet and Blutenburgstreet are home to upper middle class for some time, the sometimes less sumptuously executed turn of the century buildings offer in the vicinity of Schulstreet and Donnersbergerstreet housing for various population groups. But has also kept the so-called gentrification catchment by road trains and remodeled buildings were renovated. In addition, there were numerous conversions take place in condominiums and shops were once easy to architectural firms, alternative shops, bars and restaurants. For this reason, the City Council in 2006 extended the statute for preservation of this neighborhood, to counteract the displacement of ancestral inhabitants.

On 1 January 1891 the independent municipality Nymphenburg was incorporated to the city of Munich.

It is named after the Nymphenburg Palace, former summer residence of the Bavarian kings. Today the castle along with the Nymphenburg Palace Park is one of the most popular sights of Munich.
