Moosach, Residential district in northwestern Munich, Germany.
Moosach is a residential neighborhood in northwestern Munich composed of smaller districts like Hartmannshofen, Pressestadt, and Borstei. The area features single-family homes, townhouses, and low-rise apartment buildings arranged across the landscape.
The area experienced human settlement for thousands of years before its first documented mention in 807. The construction of St Martin's Church before 1315 marked its importance as an established community.
Moosach developed as a residential quarter that drew families seeking a calm environment near the city while maintaining their own space. The layout of neighborhoods like Pressestadt shows how urban planning shaped community living in the 20th century.
The neighborhood connects to Munich's public transport through several S-Bahn and U-Bahn stations, with direct access to the Mittlerer Ring and Moosacher Straße main roads. Walking through residential streets offers easy navigation without heavy traffic.
The Fasanerie began as a royal hunting lodge built in 1717 by Elector Max Emanuel for raising pheasants. Over time it transformed into a large-scale beer garden that still operates today.
