Munich is a major seat of science and learning in Germany and one of Europe’s foremost centers for education and research, technology and the media.

As a focal point of scholarship and culture, the University occupies a pivotal position in an unusually

dense network of research institutions, universities, foundations and business firms in Munich.

Home to several institutes of higher education, to renowned research associations such as the Max

Planck Society, Fraunhofer Society and Helmholtz Center, as well as world-famous libraries,

museums and archives, Munich constitutes an extraordinarily rich environment for research and

learning. But this is not all the city has to offer: Its proximity to the Alps, its urban flair and the wide

range of amenities and leisure activities it offers attract people from all over the world.

The Downtown CampusLMU buildings can be found at many points in and around the city. The historic Main Building,

an urban landmark since 1840, now houses mainly the humanities, economics and social

science departments. Probably the best known of the lecture halls are the Great Aula where the

Bavarian State Parliament was reconvened in 1946, and the Audimax, which seats 800. The

White Rose Memorial in the Atrium recalls the inspiring example of resistance to the Nazi

regime given by the eponymous students’ group founded by Hans and Sophie Scholl. Other

buildings in Schwabing and Maxvorstadt, between the English Garden, Schellingstrasse and

Königsplatz, accommodate departments representing various faculties, including linguistics

and literary studies and physics (see the map overleaf).

Libraries, museums and archives: Infrastructure for cutting-edge researchThe University´s library is sited next to the Main Building. Its collection comprises 4.7 million

volumes that are stored in the Central Repository and 13 other depots. The Bavarian State

Library, with over 10 million titles in its catalog, possesses an outstanding collection of rare

books and other documents (including maps, picture archives and sketchbooks) as well as

one of the largest collections of manuscripts in the world. Many of Munich’s famous muse-

ums, including the Old and the New Pinakothek, the Brandhorst Museum, the Glyptothek and

the Museum of Egyptian Art, as well as archives such as the Central State Archive of Bavaria,

are within easy reach of the Main Building, which of course facilitates cooperation.

The Downtown Medical CampusLMU’s Downtown Medical Campus lies between Sendlinger Tor and Goetheplatz in the city

center. Its specialized hospitals, medical research institutes and other facilities affiliated with

the Faculty of Medicine form an ensemble that dominates the area. According to current

plans, the new Gateway Hospital to be built on the site by 2020 will be organized into interdis-

ciplinary care units, providing patients with state-of-the-art treatment.

The HighTechCampus in Großhadern/MartinsriedThe HighTechCampus is a showcase for LMU’s highly integrated and internationally renowned

research in medicine and the natural sciences. In Munich’s southwest, a complex of research

institutions has arisen, which is unique in Europe. Here LMU researchers work close to, and in

close cooperation with, colleagues in the Max Planck Institutes for Biochemistry and Neurobiology

and the Helmholtz Center.

Concentrated know-how in the natural sciences and biosciencesLMU’s Faculties of Medicine, Chemistry and Pharmacy (with the Gene Center), and Biology are

sited at the HighTechCampus, as are the Biomedical Center and the Center for Molecular Biosys-

tems Research (BioSysM), together with two research clusters and a Graduate School set up with

funding from the Excellence Initiative. This dense concentration of know-how in the natural and

biomedical sciences is designed to facilitate the translation of new findings in basic research into

practical therapies and other applications.

State-of-the-art medical care and researchIn addition to the Downtown Medical Campus, the Munich University hospitals system comprises

the Medical Center in Großhadern. Thus the HighTechCampus not only stands for cutting-edge

research, but also for state-of-the-art, all-round medical care.

The ultramodern operating theaters in the Center for Surgery (OPZ) are equipped with modern

lasers and imaging systems, and can be used by specialists in all areas of medicine. The facilities

also include an interdisciplinary emergency unit, a unit for outpatient surgery and a 70-bed

intensive care unit. A further research center (CSD) house the German Center for Neurodegenera-

tive Diseases (DZNE) and the Institute for Stroke and Dementia Research (ISD). Over the longer

term, other clinical departments now located downtown will be transferred to the HighTechCam-

pus, thus allowing for richer interactions between a broader range of disciplines.
