In the autumn and winter of 2025, the MOSAIQ Idea Forum took place at the project quarters in Moosach. During this process, citizens, with the support of experts, developed project outlines from the submitted ideas. A jury then selected the most promising proposals. These have now become a reality! After obtaining the necessary permits and in coordination with the responsible district committee, we are pleased to announce the temporary implementation starting in August 2026. Over the winter, the measures will be adapted to withstand the winter weather. Optional additions and adjustments to the measures are planned starting in April 2027. It is planned that the measures will remain in place until approximately mid-September 2027.

In these places in the neighborhood, your ideas become reality
Through the temporary redesign of the Nanga-Parbat-Straße / Hugo-Troendle-Straße / Karlingerstraße intersection, traffic safety is being increased, the local urban climate is being improved, and places for residents to meet are being created. In total, three meeting areas are being created:
Mobility encounter zone
On this area you will find various mobility services that make your everyday life easier. Various tools are available at the bicycle repair station, allowing you to carry out minor repairs on your bike yourself. There are also new bicycle stands. The rental cargo bike offers the opportunity to transport heavy or larger items easily from A to B without a car. You can rent it for a fee via app. Further information on the rental process can be found on site or on the website of our project partner evhcle. Along the entire intersection area, safer crossings for pedestrian and bicycle traffic are being created through the expansion of the sidewalk with wildflower meadows in low planters and thanks to the shared spaces.
Meeting zone action
There are various seating options here that invite you to stay and create a new meeting place for the neighborhood. Additional trash cans are intended to help keep the area clean. At our dialogue point, you will find information about MCube MOSAIQ as well as details on upcoming activities, opportunities to participate, or events.
Garden meeting space
Planting, seating, and shading elements combine to create a small garden here. Mobile moving trees from the “Wanderbaumallee” (moving tree avenue) of our project partner Green City e.V. create shady spots. For amateur gardeners, there is also the opportunity here to sponsor one of the raised beds and actively participate in its design and maintenance. Water for watering can be found in a water tank, which is regularly refilled by the project team. The species-rich wildflower meadows throughout the intersection area additionally contribute to a pleasant quality of stay and higher water retention while simultaneously creating habitats for insects.
Durch Querungshilfen werden bestehende Fußwege im Quartier verknüpft. Markante Installationen mit Grünelementen markieren vor der Grundschule am Amphionpark bestehende Übergänge, die besonders von den Schulkindern genutzt werden. So sollen die Querungen sichtbar gemacht und freigehalten werden.
By the way: You can view the preliminary drafts, which provided the basis for the measures now implemented on a temporary basis and which were presented at an information event on April 28, 2026, as well as continuously at our neighborhood discussions, here view.

Latest news
In July and August 2026, citizens' ideas for the MOSAIQ project neighborhoods in Moosach and Schwabing-West became reality – last week, local residents were invited to the MOSAIQ action days to try out the temporary redesigns and celebrate the completed setup!
There was plenty to discover during the action days: from cargo bike training and climate walks to painting activities, there was something for everyone. In addition, local residents and interested parties were able to ask the project team questions, exchange views on the project, and experience the newly designed public spaces together.
You haven't had a chance to see the spaces yet? Just drop by, or check out one of the upcoming On-site appointments in the neighborhood over!
Would you like to garden at the intersection of Nanga-Parbat-Straße / Hugo-Troendle-Straße / Karlingerstraße and take on the sponsorship of a temporary raised bed?
Then apply for a garden bed sponsorship by September 25, 2026.
Together with you, we also want to try out how gardening works in the colder months. We will give you tips on which vegetable and plant varieties are suitable and how best to care for the garden bed—for example, at the joint kick-off workshop on October 9, 2026.
Here is how the application process works:
Write by September 25, 2026 an email to garteln@greencity.de or leave the information in one of our project mailboxes with the following information:
On October 1st you will receive feedback on the sponsorships.
How do children experience mobility and public space in their neighborhood? Last year, we explored this question using the format of photo stories. In the process, children from Moosach and Schwabing-West explored their neighborhood and captured with photos what they like, what bothers them, and what needs to change. Afterwards, we talked with them about the pictures and evaluated the conversations based on common themes.
Now the report on this is available in the „Mobility and Urban Climate“ series. It describes the method used and summarizes the main results of the evaluation.
In the field of„Results“you will find an interactive map alongside the report. There, the children's photos can be discovered together with matching quotes.

In the northwest of Munich is Moosach, one of the city's oldest locations.
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 quarters (i.e., the areas in the Schwabing-West and Moosach districts where MOSAIQ is active) were selected by the project team based on technical criteria and in consideration of other projects in Munich.
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.
The mobility of tomorrow affects us all. Whether sustainable transport planning, innovative technologies or smart solutions for urban and rural areas - the challenges are many and varied.
Do you have questions about the mobility of the future? Are you facing specific problems in your municipality, your company or your research? Our cluster brings together science, business, society and the public sector to find answers together.
In MOSAIQ, we are interested in the interface between mobility and urban climate. By urban climate, we mean both the climate in the meteorological sense and the climate among ourselves, i.e. how we live together in the city. Specifically, we are addressing this interface by testing and implementing measures in real-world laboratories in two Munich neighborhoods together with citizens that strengthen environmentally friendly forms of mobility, participation and social inclusion as well as quality of stay and climate resilience in the city - for a better quality of air, time and space, and for more social, land and climate justice

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.
