Munich presents Olympic acquisition: New Olympiaberg causes confusion
Dachauer Straße, 80335 München, Deutschland - On June 5, 2025, Munich was the first city to officially present its application plans for the future Olympic Games of the Future. The presentation took place in the impressive 72 Olympic Stadium, in which Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) and Munich Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD) were also present. The state capital thus sets a strong sign in the direction of the Olympic future and wants to inspire with a well thought -out concept. The Süddeutsche Zeitung reports that Munich submitted the first documents at the German Olympic Sports Association (DOSB) before the official date on May 31.
The presentation also aroused criticism: Association chiefs had criticized that no questions about the graphics and simulations were admitted during the lecture. A central concept was the "New Olympiaberg", which is expected to be created near the corner of Dachauer Straße and Landshuter Allee. This is supposed to be an exciting addition to the city's existing sports landscape, which can already look back on many well -preserved sports facilities from the 1972 games.
sustainability in focus
The Bavarian Prime Minister shakes the sustainability discussion by describing Munich's application as a "strong offer for sustainable, good and likeable" Olympic Games.
Mayor Reiter also emphasizes that it is planned to use existing sports facilities from 1972 again, which could score Munich with a good hand when applying. The plans submitted are also intended to bring infrastructural advantages, such as new subway lines and S-Bahn connections. In addition, several thousand apartments are planned for athletes and officials who should remain as living space even after games. The consideration of realizing the application in the network with other cities is also sought. Reiter sees it as contemporary to start together with other cities instead of fighting alone. Eurosport quotes Reiter that the future of the Olympic Games could also be in such a composite. First discussions with the DOSB are already underway. In order to guarantee the acceptance of citizens, the city council should vote on the application in the near future. A corresponding citizens' decision is planned for October. In the event of a positive result, the application of Munich remains, while other cities such as Berlin and Hamburg also develop their own concepts. The decision on the German candidacy should be made by the end of 2026, and so Munich could again play a major role in international sports. But it remains to be seen whether the voices of the citizens and associations are also taken away. collaboration instead of solo gear
