Freiham is Munich's largest urban development, transforming 350 hectares on the western outskirts into a sustainable neighbourhood for 20,000–25,000 residents and up to 15,000 jobs. Initiated around 2011 with a competition won by Ortner & Ortner Baukunst, it blends economic, ecological, and social sustainability.
The district features 8,000 dwellings (50% private, 30% subsidised, 20% Munich Model). Key elements include the ZAM centre by Störmer Murphy and Partners, an education campus by Uniola, and Co-Housing Freiham by AllesWirdGut. Green spaces, photovoltaics, district heating, and KfW 55 standards aim for DGNB Gold certification.
Public transport integration ensures connectivity, fostering a vibrant microcosm between urban density and rural idyll.
