Ramersdorf-Perlach

District no. 16 joins Ramersdorf in the west with Perlach, first mentioned around 790 and incorporated into Munich in 1930. Perlach has three distinct parts: Altperlach, the historic core around Pfanzeltplatz with the listed St. Michael church (1728–1730); Waldperlach, a garden-city area of single-family houses that grew from early 20th-century weekend houses; and Neuperlach, built from the 1960s as a relief town (Entlastungsstadt) for Munich's post-war housing shortage.

On 31 December 2025, 121,271 people lived here on about 19.9 km², making it the most populous of Munich's 25 districts. About 36.5% did not hold German citizenship, and 16.8% of residents were under 18, both above the city averages.

• Neuperlach was planned as a "city of modernity" and is described by the city portal as Germany's largest satellite town, with large housing blocks around the Wohnring and Theodor-Heuss-Platz. The city designated two urban renewal areas in January 2022: Neuperlach Nord (about 208 hectares, including the Ostpark) and Neuperlach Zentrum (around Hanns-Seidel-Platz and the Perlacher Einkaufspassagen shopping centre), aiming at energy-efficient renovation, better open spaces and affordable housing.
• Altperlach keeps its village character around Pfanzeltplatz.
• Waldperlach is mainly single-family homes, with some newer apartment buildings.
• Ramersdorf borders Perlach to the west.

• U-Bahn: U2, U7 and U8 at Karl-Preis-Platz; U2, U5, U7 and U8 at Innsbrucker Ring; U5, U7 and U8 at Michaelibad, Quiddestraße and Neuperlach Zentrum; U5 to Neuperlach Süd.
• S-Bahn at Perlach and Neuperlach Süd towards the city centre and the region.
• Buses and trams run through or into the district.

Neuperlach is known for its large housing blocks from the 1960s and later, many of them due for renovation; Waldperlach and parts of Altperlach offer houses and smaller buildings. The city's renewal programme for Neuperlach includes creating affordable housing.

The district has many families: 16.8% of residents were under 18 at the end of 2025 (city average 15.2%). The Ostpark has small ponds, winding paths and a popular sledging hill, and next to it the Michaelibad combines indoor and outdoor pools with a large sauna area.
