Lidl is planning a new supermarket and living space in Ramersdorf - history remains!

In Ramersdorf something is happening: Lidl recently acquired several plots in the district and plans to build a new supermarket on an area of around 5000 square meters. But the citizens will not only be able to shop there in the future. Apartments that are particularly suitable for senior and young people are planned. "The town hall sees the opportunity to create urgently needed living space," reports the evening newspaper .

On July 16, 2025, the Munich city council set the course for this ambitious project as part of a realization competition. The competition, initiated by the Committee on Urban Planning and Building Regulations, aims to develop a mixed building that includes both the new discounter and the apartments. The competition is carried out together with Lidl.

preservation of historical

particularly gratifying: a historic farmhouse on the site should be preserved. It is integrated into the new buildings and offers a certain nostalgic note in the middle of modern development. It is also ensured that the new building blends harmoniously into the listed ensemble "former town center Ramersdorf". The development to the Innsbrucker Ring should also be designed to shield noise and fine dust, which is particularly important in times of increasing air pollution.

on the area, where a car workshop and a play library and commercial bars previously stood, not only living rooms are now being built, but also green areas. "Existing trees are preserved and new green spaces and green facades are created," adds the Grüne Group Munich .

sustainability in focus

A big step towards sustainable urban development takes the city with this planning. It is not only created space for people, but also for nature. Public, green roof areas are intended, some of which are to be equipped with solar systems. These measures are part of a growing consciousness for the need for responsible use of our urban resources.

"The population in urban areas has been growing in urban areas since the beginning of the 21st century. Sustainable urban development is vital to ensure access to living space, education and mobility for everyone," explains the Federal Center for Political Education and refers to the world population, from which 50% live in cities, with increasing trend until 2050.

In order to improve the quality of life in cities, not only structural measures are important, but also social participation and an open ear for the interests of the citizens. The interdisciplinary cooperation is crucial to ensure social sustainability and to meet the different needs, as can be seen from the studies on sustainable urban development.

The plans for Ramersdorf are all about modern urban development. It remains exciting how the implementation of this vision is accepted by the citizens and what positive impulses for the neighborhood can arise.
