DE Neighborhood walk Obergiesing
Impressions
Description:
On our walk through Obergiesing, we not only learn about the multifaceted history of this unique district, but also explore the diverse area surrounding one of our city's most striking hills. At Giesinger Berg, we admire spectacular stained-glass windows and enjoy the tranquility of an early workers' settlement, now a listed historical monument.
Around the "Tela" (a local landmark), we learn what cutting-edge architecture looked like in this working-class neighborhood roughly 100 years ago, practically obliterating the former village center. Today, this popular district is known for its strong sense of self-confidence and vibrant pub scene, even though the so-called "underdogs" still shape the image of this former working-class area – just think of beer brewing or football!
Beer has long played a major role in the neighborhood. We find proof of this at Grünspitz, a popular fan zone for 1860 Munich, whose famous Grünwalder Stadium is located nearby. And if the tour has made you thirsty, no problem – the iconic Giesinger Bräu brewery, with its traditional beer hall, is practically at the end of the walk.

My tips for before and after our tour:
Once you've made it up Giesinger Berg (it's easy to get there by subway!), you can enjoy a wonderful walk up here, always with a view over Munich. Head south past the stadium on Grünwalder Straße to the newly renovated beer garden. Menterschwaige and heading north past the Nockherberg all the way to Haidhausen. And if you don't want to go any further, you can simply hop on one of the longest and oldest tram lines, number 25, which always runs parallel to it.
Or you can stroll along the "Tela", the Tegernseer Landstraße, treat yourself to an ice cream, a doner kebab or a cinnamon roll and enjoy the diverse shops along the route – a street that is practically nonexistent in Munich anymore.
And for all beer lovers, the rule of thumb is, of course, not to visit a bar without a cold one. Giesinger beer to leave, the most comfortable place to drink this is of course in Giesinger Bräustüberl.
Frequently asked questions:
Can the tour end at an inn?
Can the Holy Cross Church also be visited inside?
Generally, yes, as it's almost always open. However, visits are not possible during church services. These are usually announced in advance, so you can plan accordingly.
Is it possible to end the tour in Untergiesing?
Of course! Then, towards the end of the tour, we'll venture down and finish the guided tour in the picturesque Little Venice near Columbus Square.
