In 1952, when the settlement was built in the far north of Munich, people from many different nations moved in: Latvians, Russians, Armenians, Poles, Ukrainians, Kalmyks, Sudeten Germans – all so-called displaced persons, people with no chance of returning to their homeland or emigrating after the war. Today, around 2,000 people live here in a truly multicultural society, happy about the tolerance and friendly neighborhood. However, this was once the site of a satellite camp of the Dachau concentration camp: "Living here is both a blessing and a curse."
