Karlsfeld

Karlsfeld is a residential municipality in the Dachau district situated northwest of Munich in Bavaria. The settlement extends across flat terrain and transitions between rural patterns and urban neighborhoods that border the capital region.

During World War II, the municipality contained a subcamp of Dachau concentration camp, leaving deep marks on local history. This period shaped the place's identity and remains part of its collective memory today.

The Ludl Chapel built in 1900 represents local building traditions and stands among the oldest structures still visible today. It reflects the careful craftsmanship typical of rural architecture from that era.

The S-Bahn S2 line connects the municipality directly to Munich, making it easy to reach the city center. The train station is walkable from most locations and runs throughout the day at regular intervals.

The municipality borders the headquarters of major industrial companies like MAN and MTU Aero Engines, which shape the region's economic character. This proximity to large manufacturers sets it apart from typical residential areas near Munich.
