Germany - Olympic Park Munich

"The Olympic Park, built for the XX Olympic Summer Games 1972 in Munich, covers an area of 289 hectares in the northern centre of the Bavarian state capital. The main sports facilities lie at the heart of an architectural and park landscape moulded by their roof shape and the terrain topography in the southern part of the Olympic Park. This part also incorporates the pre-existing buildings of the ice rink and the Olympic Tower. The latter as well as the top of the Olympic Hill offer views over the entire site. The residential area of the Olympic Village, including the former Men's Village and Women's Village, the former refectory, and the Ecumenical Church Centre, is located to the northeast of the Olympic Park on the other side of the traffic artery Mittlerer Ring. To the west of the Olympic Village is the Central University Sports Complex, which was used as a training and preparation centre for the Summer Games and is now the sports campus of the Technical University of Munich. In addition, the public transport network was expanded to connect the Olympic Park".
