Source-derived summary

Sendling-Westpark (German pronunciation: [ˈzɛntlɪŋ ˈvɛstpaʁk]) is the 7th borough of Munich.

Location

Sendling-Westpark is located south west of Munich and expands into the North/South extension from the 8th borough Schwanthalerhöhe as far as Obersendling (Thalkirchen-Obersendling-Forstenried-Fürstenried-Solln). The eastern border contains the S-Bahn line to Wolfratshausen, which connects borough 6 Sendling. Fürstenriederstrasse and Westendstrasse form the border in the west, beyond which lie boroughs 20 Hadern and 25 Laim.

Description

Due to an influx of immigrants, the population count doubled between 1950 and 1995; nevertheless, the amount of foreign residents is well below the average population of the area. In the southern part, accommodation typically consists of detached and semi-detached houses built in the Interwar period. In the vicinity of the main traffic arteries, blocks of flats were built after 1948.

Important employers and facilities in the borough include the Städtische Altenheim St. Josef ("St Josef Home for the Elderly"), the Lebenshilfe Werkstatt für Behinderte ("Workshop for Disabled People"), the Integrationszentrum für Cerebralparesen ("Integration Centre for Cerebral Palsy") the Bayerische Landesschule für Gehörlose ("Bavarian State School for the Deaf"), the headquarters of the ADAC and TÜV. The Construction and metalworking industry employs a large portion of people in the borough as well.

Several important motorways pass through the borough, notably the A 96 (Munich-Lindau) and A 95 (Munich-Garmisch) Autobahnen which connect to the "Mittlerer Ring", Munich's inner city ring road system.

Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1950, 1995, 1948—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Sendling-Westpark, borough and Munich can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as borough of Munich. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 27, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q224635. Authority coordinates are 48.122, 11.532. 1 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 2 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1950, 1995 and 1948.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
