Bellevue di Monaco

The Bellevue di Monaco is a cultural centre and a Munich institution at Müllerstraße 2-6. The lime green building and the neighbouring football pitch of the Glockenbachwerkstatt were originally threatened with demolition. A group of activists led by the band Sportfreunde Stiller and Till Hofmann wanted to preserve both and founded a social project in 2012. The result was a refuge for refugees, an event and meeting place with a café, a meeting place for creative people, thinkers and committed individuals as well as a centre for work and training. The building belongs to the city and was leased to the 'Bellevue di Monaco' social co-operative for 40 years in 2014. The flats were renovated thanks to a great deal of personal initiative, cooperation and donations and were ready for occupancy in 2018. Highlight and new place to exercise: a new rooftop sports ground was opened on the sixth floor in 2020.
