Tucked away between Trudering and Messestadt-Riem in Munich East, this hidden gem offers a gorgeous backdrop for family photoshoots, regardless of the season. As a Lifestyle Family and Newborn Photographer based in Munich East, I specialize in finding locations that are both beautiful and convenient for families.

Why Riemerpark is Perfect for Family Photos

A Versatile Location for Every Season

I love shooting in Riemerpark because it has something to offer in every season and has so much variety in one location, meaning there is something for everyone. Spanning over 500 acres, the park offers numerous secluded spots that are perfect for relaxed photo sessions without the need to perform in front of others or worry about strangers in the background. This privacy allows families to be themselves, and space for kids to explore, resulting in more natural and candid photos.

Imagine capturing a spring session in a vibrant meadow blanketed with purple and yellow wildflowers. Or playful moments with your children splashing playfully in the shallow water (Don’t worry, we save this for the end of the session!) while the warm, summer sun sets in front of you. In the fall, we can capture images with colorful foliage amongst the birch trees. And in winter? Well, let me tell you, the heavy snowfall Munich experienced in 2023, turned this place into a winter wonderland.

I love shooting here! With so much variety, we can choose the backdrop that best suits your family’s personality or move throughout the park to add variety to your gallery.

Accessibility and Convenience

Ok, but is it easy to get to?

Yep! Riemerpark is easily accessible by car and public transport, making it convenient for families from all over Munich. The park is close to the S-Bahn station in Gronsdorf as well as the Messestadt West and Messestadt Ost stations on the U2 line. With the multiple access points to the park, you’ll find ample parking as well should you choose to drive. This means you can enjoy a relaxed family day out without worrying about long travel times. Who doesn’t love that?

Of course, venturing to a new location with kids can sometimes feel daunting.

Riemerpark’s Fascinating Transformation Unique History

Ok, so we’re already sold on the park being the perfect location for your next family photos, but did you know that the park is actually the site of the former Munich International Airport? In 1992, the airport was closed and relocated to a new location in Freising. As part of the New Munich Trade Fair Center project, the area was redeveloped into Messestadt-Riem, an urban district with housing projects, a shopping mall, and the exhibition and convention center, as well as Riemerpark, creating a fantastic example of urban renewal.
