Derzbachhof, Heritage monument in Forstenried, Germany
The Derzbachhof is a manor house in Forstenried featuring two stories, a traditional pitched roof, and a wooden balcony along its south wall. The building displays clear late Baroque architectural features with its substantial stone base and carefully designed details.
The house was built in 1751 after Polling Monastery divided an older property among heirs. The naming of the original estate was linked to Veith Graf von Forstenried, an early owner and namesake of the area.
The building displays the construction style of an Upper Bavarian farmhouse with its stone ground floor and traditionally timber-framed upper story. This type of building technique was typical for more prosperous agricultural properties in the region.
The house stands at Forstenrieder Allee 179, directly across from the Holy Cross Church, making it easy to spot. After a complete renovation in 2022, it now serves as residential space that is visible from outside but does not allow public access to the interior.
It is the oldest surviving farmhouse in Munich and retains features from its original agricultural use. The access ramp to the threshing floor at the rear demonstrates how the building once served rural operations.
