Life is returning to the Derzbachhof in Forstenried.
For years, the more than 270-year-old building stood empty - now a new residential project has been created on the site.
Munich - It is considered Munich's oldest farm: The Derzbachhof was built in 1751 and is part of the listed ensemble of the Fürstenried village center.
In around two and a half years, the investor Euroboden renovated the dilapidated building and added a new building.
Most of the work has now been completed and the first apartments will be handed over in June.
17 apartments are being built in the new building, all of which have already been sold except for a 93 square meter attic apartment for around 1.2 million euros.
There are also four rental apartments in the former stable.
The new farm residents share common rooms in the old farm and a communal garden.
21 apartments are being built on the courtyard site.

For the investor, the new Derzbachhof is "a creative synthesis of monument protection, modern living standards and thermal insulation".
In the former barn, the glazing of the upper floor is hidden behind wooden slats in order to preserve the image of the historical board formwork and at the same time allow daylight into the new apartments.
The roof truss of the barn has now been renovated.

Farm in Munich-Forstenried: special shingles made of untreated cedar wood
The new building was also clad according to this principle.
Another special feature are the shingles made of untreated cedar wood on the roof of the old building.
The Otto Borst Prize for Urban Renewal 2022 was awarded for the redevelopment in April.
The Forstenried village core ensemble initiative, on the other hand, sees the project critically.
"The new building is much too massive and too much of the historic structure has been lost," complains Claudia Kaiser.
In addition, several objects such as the toilet house, a historic cellar or the granary have disappeared.
The initiative would have preferred a different use, for example as a museum.
