Erding

Erding is an administrative district in Upper Bavaria, located northeast of Munich and spanning multiple communities. The area contains 26 municipalities, including the towns of Erding and Dorfen, forming the center of a rural region.

The district was established in 1862 to better organize regional administration after Bavarian reforms. This reorganization created the administrative framework that continues today.

Agriculture shapes what you see across the landscape and how the communities work. Fields of grain, corn, and vegetables surround the towns and influence the rhythm of daily life.

The region connects easily to Munich through the S-Bahn train network, with short travel times to the city. Munich International Airport sits in the northwestern section and is readily accessible.

The Erdinger Moos was once an extensive fen that underwent major changes during Munich Airport's construction in the 1990s. This transformation shaped how the region developed while maintaining its rural character.
