A river paradise in
the heart of Munich
Fotos: Frank Lübke / Text Patricia Erne
Paris has the Seine, London the Thames and Vienna has
the Donau. And what about Munich, the cosmopolitan city
with heart? There is the Isar! The river is the lifeline and
bath tub of the Bavarian metropolis; his meadows and
shores are a greenbelt recreation area, energy filling station,
nature‘s jewel and soft places in one. The Isar, which
arises in the Karwendelgebirge, styled itself well in this
year in particular and presents itself in its most beautiful
dress - thanks to the concluded renaturation arrangements
between the area of Großhesselohe and the German Museum.
In former times described as a „wild lady“, the river
was tied in a corset of cement after a devastating flood
in 1899 to protect the heart of Munich in the future. This
corset was tight, kind of grey and not beautiful at all. In the
Baden bei den historischen Isar-Brücken.
