ABOUT
MoosachMoosach is located in the north-west of Munich and is one of the oldest places in the city.
The cultural and historical center of Moosach is located around St.-Martins-Platz. Events for local residents, such as the May festival or the Christmas market, take place here every year. Today, the district is characterized by its diversity.
In the eastern part of Moosach, there is a large number of commercial areas as well as increasingly dense development, such as the Olympic Press City or housing estates from the interwar period. In the western part, where the project quarter is located, a diverse mix of detached, terraced and multi-family houses predominates.
The Westfriedhof cemetery and Amphionpark provide some cooling. Nevertheless, the city climate analysis by the City of Munich shows that the district is largely affected by high temperatures. The residential areas that are further away from the green spaces are particularly affected by the heat. More greenery in the form of tree planting along the major streets could significantly improve the quality of stay.
The streets within the district also offer little quality of stay, are primarily designed for car traffic and are characterized by stationary traffic. Although more journeys are made by car in Moosach than in other districts, over 50 percent are made by foot and bicycle. Moosach is already well connected to local public transport by the U-Bahn and S-Bahn and is supplemented by streetcar and bus lines. These services are already used for 22 percent of Moosach residents' journeys. Shared mobility in the district is also playing an increasingly important role. The first mobility point is currently being set up at Moosach railroad station, where various shared mobility services are bundled in one place. More are to follow soon.
The Department of Urban Planning and Building Regulations is currently working on the "Moosach: colorful-social-sustainable-future-oriented" Approaches for sustainable urban development in the Moosach redevelopment area. With our MCube MOSAIQ innovation project, we want to use synergies, develop new ideas with residents and jointly provide impetus for further urban redevelopment.
The project districts (i.e. the neighborhoods in the Schwabing-West and Moosach districts where MOSAIQ will be active) were selected by the project team based on technical criteria and taking into account other projects in Munich and using technical criteria.
Specific selection criteria included:
The exact implementation locations in the neighborhood and their design have not yet been determined - because citizens and other local stakeholders will be actively involved in the development, design and implementation of measures through our innovation workshop, which will start in the fall.
One thing is certain: a trial temporary implementation of the ideas that will be jointly developed in 2025 will take place in public spaces from summer 2026.
We look forward to seeing you!
With the Climate walks we examined the MOSAIQ districts from a climatic perspective. On particularly hot days, we went for walks together with interested citizens along predetermined routes. Thereby microclimatic conditions were measured several times a day using a portable weather station from Climateflux measured. At various stations, the participants gave also in questionnaires about their thermals Perception. These impressions complement the measurement data of the portable weather station. The results are now being evaluated and will serve as a basis for further discussion on the urban climate in Moosach and Schwabing-West as part of MCube MOSAIQ.
With the format Photo stories we got to know the Moosach district from the perspective of children. Equipped with tablets, the pupils took photos and videos of what they like and dislike about the neighborhood. On the following day, the recordings were viewed together, discussed and topics were collected - from more cleanliness and additional garbage cans to parking spaces for e-scooters and better maintenance of the green spaces in the district. On reflection, it turned out that everyone had a lot of fun - and made it clear to us how important children's perspectives are for urban design. The results will now be evaluated and presented to the public at a later date.
Now that the district committees of Schwabing-West and Moosach have each unanimously decided to work with MCube MOSAIQ, the information and participation phase of the project has officially begun. The project kicked off with two well-attended information events in both districts, at which numerous residents learned about the project and provided initial input. The lively participation shows: There is great interest in sustainable urban development.
We are very pleased that we have been able to take an important step in the neighborhood selection process. The district committee of the Schwabing-West district would like to work with us on the MOSAIQ project. This was decided unanimously at the plenary meeting on May 28, 2025. The district committee of the Moosach district would also like to work with us on the MOSAIQ project and also unanimously approved this at the plenary meeting on June 16, 2025. Now it's time to get started - the next step is the information events in both districts.

What is MOSAIQ?
Imagine something: There is more space for people. The streets have more trees and plants. Everyone can get around better. That's how your Schwabing-West district could be in the future. How would you like your district to be? We want to talk to you about it!
The project is called MOSAIQ. MOSAIQ is a research∙project. MOSAIQ means: Mobility and urban climate in the future city∙part. The Technical University of Munich is leading the project.
What is MOSAIQ about?
MOSAIQ wants to make the streets in the city∙part more beautiful. People should feel comfortable there. There should be more space. For meetings and plants, for example. You can help decide what is tried out in the Stadt∙teil. The ideas come from you. Some ideas will be tried out on the streets for a certain period of time.
The aim of MOSAIQ is to make urban districts good places to live.
At the same time, the climate in the city should improve. And people should be able to move around the city easily.
