Olympic Village, Munich

Olympic Village, Munich
The Olympic Village in Munich as viewed from the Olympic Tower.

The Olympic Village (German: Olympisches Dorf) was constructed for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany and was used to house the athletes during the games. This was also where the Munich massacre took place.[1]

Part of the village is now used as student housing (German: Studentenviertel auf dem Oberwiesenfeld or Studentendorf). The student housing area is approved to be demolished. On the night of the 4th of August 2007, a student party turned into a small riot, leading to heavy vandalism and the destruction of two houses by a set fire. In the night, 150 police officers were sent to control the situation.
