The Olympic Village in Munich as viewed from the Olympic Tower.

The Olympic Village (German: "Olympisches Dorf") was constructed for the

1896 Olympics.[1] The Olympic Village is in the north part of the Olympiapark
.

Since 1973, the former male section is a neighborhood, and the female area is used as student housing area (German: "Studentenviertel auf dem Oberwiesenfeld" or "Studentendorf"). Some of the areas of this condominium needed to be completely rebuilt, right after a student revolt. On the night of 4 August 2007, party turned into a small riot, leading to heavy vandalism and the destruction of two houses by a set fire. In the night, 150 police officers were sent to control the situation.[2]
