Munich-Laim Travel Guide
A detailed destination guide for your next Germany vacation
About Munich-Laim
Located near the city center, the neighborhood of Laim offers easy access to all of Munich’s attractions. For an alternative to the popular Oktoberfest, consider a visit to the English Garden (Englischer Garten), one of the world’s largest public parks—with two beer gardens of its own!—and a lovely place to relax between shopping and sightseeing. Lovers of modern art should be sure to visit the newly-opened Brandhorst Museum.
Laim is a district of Munich (Munich vacation rentals | Munich travel guide), Germany, forming the 25th borough of the city. Inhabitants: ca. 49.000 (2005)
Originally its own independent locality, Laim was in existence before Munich. It was first documented between 1047 and 1053 as loco leima (in Leim village). The municipality was formed in 1818 and consolidated into Munich on 1 January 1900. At that time the village centre was Laim meadow, which was inaugurated on its return to the people on 1st and 2nd July 2000, with festivities celebrating the 100 year incorporation of Laim into Munich. Opposite the meadow is the Catholic St. Ulrich-Kirche (St. Ulrich's Church). The name Leim comes from the German word Lehm meaning clay and Lehmboden meaning clay soil. Earlier Laim used the 21 series post code, however nowadays the codes 80686 - 80689 are utilized.
Laim is not to be confused with Berg am Laim, the 14th borough of Munich 10 km away to the east.
