The Olympic Village (German: "Olympisches Dorf") was constructed for the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany and was used to house the athletes during the games. The infamous Munich massacre took place in one of its apartment blocks.

Since 1973 the former male section is now another neighborhood, and the female one serves as student housing (German: "Studentenviertel auf dem Oberwiesenfeld" or "Studentendorf"). Said area was completely torn down and rebuilt from zero. On the night of 4 August 2007, a student 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 had to be sent to control the situation.
