Real estate prices Laim, Munich 2024: House and apartment sales

Originally, Laim was a rural settlement and the old village center is still visible today around St. Ulrich's Church. Laim consists of the districts of Friedenheim and St. Ulrich. To the east, Laim borders on Schwanthalerhöhe and to the west on Pasing. Other districts that border Laim are Sendling-Westpark and Hadern. In the north and south, Laim lies between the railway line and the Lindau A96 motorway.

Laim can be turbulent, mainly along Landsberger Straße and Fürstenrieder Straße.

In the southwest of Laim, houses from the Gründerzeit era are predominantly found. In the north of this area, there is a small-house terraced estate with beautiful facades and small gardens.

Laim owes the creation of its settlement to the world-renowned architect Theodor Fischer. With the construction crafts settlement in 1910, he created one of the first terraced housing estates in the world.

A brief look into the history of Laim

The history of Laim can be traced back to the year 1050, when Laim is first mentioned in a document. The name of the district is derived from the clayey soil, although one could by far not extract as much clay in Laim as on the high banks of the Isar.

Laim was a small farming village for many centuries, but at the end of the 19th century, the district developed into a metropolitan neighborhood. The railroad line and the Laim marshalling yard contributed to this.

Several worker housing estates were built in the originally small farming village, but this belongs to the past. Today, Laim is predominantly inhabited by employed white-collar workers and civil servants.

Apart from the Laim S-Bahn station, the district is perfectly connected to the public transport network by three underground stations (Westendstraße, Laimer Platz, Friedenheimer Straße).

Two subway lines (lines U4 and U5) connect Laim with other districts. There are also several bus connections and a tram line that runs from Pasing via Laim to the city center. The Lindau A96 freeway and the A99 ring road help relieve traffic in the district and ensure that you can get anywhere quickly.
