Olympiapark

The Olympiapark in Munich , Germany, is an Olympic Park  which was constructed for the 1972 Summer Olympics . Found in the area of Munich known as the "Oberwiesenfeld" ("upper meadow-field"), the Park continues to serve as a venue for cultural, social, and religious events such as events of worship. The Park is administered by Olympiapark München GmbH, a holding company fully owned by the state capital of Munich.

The use of the term Olympiapark to designate the overall area has prevailed as a semiofficial practice, but no official name for the entire area exists: Rather, the general area comprises four separate sub-areas:

• Olympic Area: Includes the Olympic sports facilities such as the Olympic Stadium  and the Olympic Hall  with Olympic Tower . Also in this area are the Olympic Swim Hall  and Olympic Event Hall.
• Olympic Village , comprising two villages, one male and one female.
• Olympic Media City ("Pressestadt"), today the home of the Olympic Shopping Center. Strictly speaking, this portion belongs to the area of district of "Moosach."
• Olympic Park: Adjoining the Olympic Area to the south, this park includes the Olympic Mountain and Olympic Lake.
