context_page_description: Schwabing is a borough in the northern part of Munich, the capital of the German state of Bavaria. It is divided into the city borough 4 and the city borough 12. The main boulevard is Leopoldstraße. For further information on the Munich boroughs, see: Boroughs of Munich.
context_section_description: Schwabing used to be famous as Munich's bohemian quarter, but has lost much of this reputation due to strong gentrification in the last decades. A popular location is the Englischer Garten, or English Garden, one of the world's largest public parks. Other not so commonly known parks in Schwabing are: Leopoldpark, Petuelpark and Biotop am Ackermannbogen.
  The main buildings of Munich's largest universities, Ludwigs-Maximilians-Universität and the Technical University of Munich and Academy of Fine Arts are situated in the nearby Maxvorstadt. A student housing area called "Studentenstadt" (literally, "student city") is located in the north of Schwabing.
  The gentrification of Schwabing and various construction projects have led to protests, as around 2011.
