Neighbourhood guide

Au-Haidhausen

Across the Isar from the centre

Au-Haidhausen lies east of the Isar, with the Maximilianeum on the river, the squares around Wiener Platz and the Au below the hill. It has the Muffatwerk, jazz and several beer gardens.

Haidhausen is a residential quarter of squares and side streets, with a food market on Wiener Platz. The Hofbräukeller has a garden on that side of the district.

Down by the river, the Muffatwerk holds a concert hall and a beer cafe, and Paulaner am Nockherberg stands above the Isar. The Auer Dult, a traditional fair on Mariahilfplatz, runs three times a year.

Getting there

Max-Weber-Platz (U4, U5, and trams 17, 19, 21 and 25) and Rosenheimer Platz (S-Bahn, tram 25) are the usual stops, and Ostbahnhof (S-Bahn, U5) serves the east side. Trams 19 and 21 stop at Maximilianeum and tram 17 stops at Wiener Platz.
