Lochhausen: Dachauer Moos

This area belongs to Munich’s open northwestern landscape, where fields, wet ground and scattered buildings dominate. The broad horizon and sparse development preserve a distinctly rural atmosphere at the edge of the city. Fields, wet ground and scattered buildings preserve an open northwestern landscape with a broad horizon and a distinctly rural edge-of-city atmosphere. The greenery has a practical everyday role: it shortens the route to recreation, provides shade and play space, and visually separates different groups of buildings. Seasonal change is part of the experience: shade, flowering vegetation, autumn color and winter openness alter both the appearance and the intensity of use. Continuous paths link neighboring streets and districts, allowing the green space to function as both a destination and part of the everyday walking and cycling network. At its edges, the shift from traffic and built frontage to vegetation and open ground is often immediate, which gives the landscape a strong restorative effect.
