Munich’s city centre still largely reflects the layout of the historic Old Town, established in 1158, the year of the city’s official founding. While the medieval cityscape has been carefully preserved, recent decades have seen a remarkable architectural transformation. Numerous award-winning new buildings and high-quality renovations now stand alongside historical landmarks, creating a subtle yet powerful dialogue between tradition and contemporary design.
