22: 04: 11 / Munich - In the heart of Munich, there is soon a whole new city district for strollers and shoppers - the " paddock" .

We take a look behind the fences of the construction site. Even for experienced construction workers, this project should be special. It is not even on large construction sites every day before that the carillon in the Town Hall tower rings for lunch.

And if the workers can roam at the snack in sight, they can gaze around them, the towers of the Frauenkirche, the Old Peters and City Hall.

It might not be central: the paddocks area, to 11 000 square meters between Sendlingerstrasse, Hack road and Hotterstrasse Frbergraben. Previously there was the site of the South German publishing house. But 2013 is here to open the new urban neighborhood - with homes, offices, a restaurant and many fashionable shops. 100 workers toiling in these days on the job site. And is emerging ever more clearly how it will look the new ensemble.

At the Sendlingerstrasse formed the entrance of the paddock. The facade of the old SZ editorial building remains. The construction workers have gutted, now is the static earthquakes.

To the ground floor with a magnificent vaulted ceiling ( there was the caf side light) will move boutiques, offices above. Behind the building with a courtyard formed by local. The Sendlingerstrasse is the paddock before the pedestrian zone. Here the developers are planning also the gateway to the heart of the neighborhood: the passage.

It starts right next to the SZ- building, where once lived the AZ. From here, the shopping mall meanders through the paddock until it reaches a central courtyard - in the old print shop.

Daylight there by a listed steel and glass roof.

In the courtyard is a fork in the passage, an arm continues to Hack road, another to Frbergraben. The passage has an enormous importance of urban development - through her whole new way caused by the old town: from St. - Jakobs- Platz on the new pedestrian zone to the paddock and then through the passage and the Frbergraben in the Kaufingerstrasse. In the passage to be sure, settle classy shops. The investors want to win above all, fashion boutiques and focus on brands that do not exist in Munich. 69 condominiums created in the paddock.

And the hack road, the builders have come up with something special. Here they renovate an old house over a hundred years - including coffered ceilings and stucco rosettes. Right next to the house they share a modern extension - a steel and glass construction. The key: Eight apartments spread over old love and new construction, for people who contrasts.

Cheap is not sure. Between 6000 and over 10 000 euro per square meter cost homes in the paddock.

Who wants to buy the largest apartment ( 250 square feet) should have 1. 8 million nest egg.

On Frbergraben where once stood the " Black House" to the bedroom, now only one pit is to be seen - well, base plate for the new building will be made to house the shops and offices will be. For the building was designed by architect Marcel Meili a red- green ceramic and glass facade. The old printing building is located inside the area - and was previously invisible to passersby. The developers want to preserve the beautiful brick facade, the interior is hardly a stone unturned.

Smtlie ceiling will soon be torn out. The buildings will come under offices. By the end of 2011, the structural work to be completed in the paddock. Then, hopefully the developers, would have to remove the noise and dust pollution for the residents. The fence at the Sendlingerstrasse will remain at least until summer 2012.

2013 will celebrate the opening of the builders of the paddock. John Patzig
