Student Village

The 1972 Munich Olympic Park is an architectural icon of modern Germany. Designed by Günther Behnisch and Frei Otto, its pioneering tent roof structure and integration of sports venues into a landscaped park set new global standards. Originally student housing, the Olympic Village housed athletes and reflects a bold era of urban and cultural transformation.
