Just wanted to really quickly throw up some pictures from the site of the 1972 Munich Olympics, which has been left as a sprawling complex with acres of bike and running paths as well as several large stadiums and arenas in which to hold events.
The area is under a great deal of construction, which may (my guess only) be part of the city's campaign to attract the 2018 Winter Games. It is also why there aren't many pictures of the stadiums or arenas here.
Anyway, here are the photos from the Olympiazentrum, which is Northwest of downtown. The first shot, obviously is not of the center but of the BMW headquarters building nearby.

| The needle. You can see Austria from the top. |

| The memorial for the Israeli athletes killed during the 1972 Games. |
 |
| Even in Germany he at least gets a bike path. |
