Alte Utting
The Alte Utting is an art and cultural project with a restaurant on an old excursion boat from the Ammersee on an unused railroad bridge. The mix of café, bar and restaurant with readings, concerts, theater performances and similar events is located at the interface between the slaughterhouse and the wholesale market area. Both neighborhoods are currently in a state of change.

Planning context ★★☆☆☆
Thematic planning context:
Alte Utting addresses the shortage of land in a neighborhood that is undergoing significant change. It occupies an otherwise "useless" area as a meeting point and place of identification for the neighborhood. With the MS Utting, a piece of Munich leisure culture is revived and lived on.
Spatial planning reference:
The Old Utting stages a previously unknown location in a spectacular way. The no longer used railroad bridge between the Schlachthofviertel and Großmarkt is one of the few fallow areas in Munich. In general, the area is currently undergoing great upheaval and transformation.
