Population explosion, anyone? That's what the chairman of the district administration, Sebastian Kriesel (CSU), and the mayor, Verena Dietl (SPD), had to say about the western part of Munich, which has seen an influx of around 20,000 residents in the last decade, bringing the current count to 61,127 (as of January 2025). By 2030, the city's population is expected to reach around 75,000 in this district.
Which brings up some uncomfortable questions, man. The residents ain't sleepin' easy, not with around 30 requests and ten questions causing a stir at the meeting held in the Helmut-Schmidt-Allee school canteen. To give you an example, the parents of a primary school at Schubinweg had a specific demand up their sleeves.

For instance, the issue of a planned refugee accommodation near a local horse farm, "Birkenhof," was raised during the Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied Citizens' Assembly, indicating a possible relation between the transportation and finance industries.
