Obermenzing

Obermenzing is a residential area in western Munich along the Würm River with extensive private gardens and traditional stone buildings. The neighborhood has spacious single-family homes and quiet streets distributed throughout the district.

The settlement was first recorded in 1315 when the Chapel of St. George appeared in the Conradian Register as part of the Aubing parish. The medieval village gradually transformed into the residential area it is today.

Blutenburg Castle contains the International Youth Library with more than 600,000 books and exhibits dedicated to authors Michael Ende and Erich Kästner. The castle draws visitors interested in literature and writing.

The area connects to Munich's public transport through multiple bus lines and the S-Bahn station at Verdistraße. The station is well-positioned for visitors exploring the neighborhood.

The Church of St. George and the 16th-century Alter Wirt tavern are part of the protected old village center with distinctive character. These buildings show the original core of the settlement within the modern residential area.
