Historical Background of Hadern

Hadern was first mentioned in the 11th century as “Haderun” and was originally a farming village. In 1938, it was incorporated into Munich, making it one of the city’s youngest districts. Particularly after World War II, numerous large housing developments were built here until the 1980s, including Blumenau and Kleinhadern, on formerly agricultural land.

Hadern today

The district of Hadern is located in the southwestern part of Munich and consists of three sub-districts: Blumenau, Neuhadern, and Großhadern. The Waldfriedhof in the south is Munich’s largest cemetery, covering over 170 hectares. The Klinikum Großhadern, a large hospital complex of the Ludwig Maximilian University, is a prominent feature of the district. Hadern is well-connected to public transportation with the extension of U-Bahn line 6 and offers numerous social facilities.

Building structure

In the southern half of Hadern, single-family homes and villa neighborhoods dominate, making it one of the most desirable residential areas. In recent years, new construction projects have been carried out, such as south of the hospital, including over 93 new condominiums built in 2011. The development of new residential buildings continues.
