Fürstenried

Fürstenried is a residential neighborhood along the A95 that was initiated in 1959 as a large scale urban housing development by the municipality and the savings bank of Munich Stadtsparkasse München. Fürstenried was developed in three discrete construction phases: Fürstenried 1 (now Fürstenried Ost), Fürstenried 2 (now Fürstenried West), and Fürstenried 3 (now Neu-Forstenried)


Fürstenried 1

Now Fürstenried Ost, was built from 1960-1961 after an urban planning commission chose the development proposal by Architects Franz Ruf and Fred Angerer. It is located to the east of the Bundesautobahn A95. At the center of the development is the Sparkassenhochhaus, a 14 story residential building in the style of a slab high rise built in 1961 from plans of the Studio of the German Architect Fred Angerer by the architects Kurt Räder and Gerhard Feuser. The building was awarded the first prize of the Association of German Architects BDA in Bavaria in 1967. At the time of completion, it was the largest single residential building in Bavaria.


Fürstenried 2

Now Fürstenried West, was also part of the original development plan and features groups of single family homes in a low-rise high-density configuration erected in 1962-1963.


Fürstenried 3

Now Neu-Forstenried, is a similar density extension of the development Fürstenried Ost and was erected after 1963. It is situated to the south of Fürstenried West alongside the Autobahn and adjacent to the Forstenrieder Park. The development is named after Schloss Fürstenried, a palace erected in 1715 by Max Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria as a hunting lodge.
