Studentenstadt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spring in StuSta. A view from Altstadt to Neustadt.

Built in two stages, 1961- 1968 and 1970 - 1977, Studentenstadt Freimann [1] (München) is the largest student housing complex in Germany, with 2,478 units in 14 buildings, and next to the Olympic Village, the second large complex, Studentenwerk München [2]. In order to create affordable housing relatively quickly, several "Wohncontainer" (similar to mobile homes) have been set up near the original buildings. Today, more than 2,500 people live in "StuSta". Besides these provisional additions, several building expansions are planned for 2006. The streets that run through Studentenstadt are named after the World War II - era resistance group, The White Rose.
