View from Lerchenauerstraße to the Brundageplatz

The Brundageplatz is a square in the Munich Olympia Park in Milbertshofen-Am Hart (Am Riesenfeld).

Description

Its surroundings include the BMW Welt in the south, the Studentenviertel Oberwiesenfeld (student quarter) and the Olympia Tower in the north-west, the Olympic Village and a Skatepark in the west,[1][2] as well as the former bus station and the underground station Olympiazentrum on Lerchenauer Straße.

It is planned to extend the Olympic Park at this (previously asphalted) location into a "green" entrance of 6,000 square meters.[3][4]

History

Today, it is under historical monument protection under the file number E-1-62-000-70.[5] It was named in 1975 after Avery Brundage (President of the IOC from 1952 to 1972).[6]
