Teichgut Birkenhof, Aquaculture facility in Aschheim and Kirchheim bei München, Germany

The Teichgut Birkenhof spans 340 hectares with 233 hectares of pond areas containing 30 fish-growing ponds, each measuring seven hectares in size.

Between 1926 and 1929, Teichgut Birkenhof was constructed as Europe's largest wastewater fish pond system, producing 200 tons of fish annually until 2000.

The facility represents a significant example of German industrial heritage, combining wastewater treatment with fish farming through natural nutrient conversion processes.

The area is now leased to the Bavarian Nature Conservation Fund and remains closed to visitors, except for small sections along the northern canal dam.

The facility operated its own industrial railway system with 30 kilometers of tracks until 2011, used for transporting fish throughout the extensive pond network.
