Allach-Untermenzing, Administrative district in northwest Munich, Germany
Allach-Untermenzing is an administrative district in northwest Munich that spans both sides of the Würm River, bringing together two former independent municipalities. The area includes a village center with historical structures and large industrial zones on its edges.
The settlement of Allach was first documented in 774 with a name meaning forest by the water, showing the ancient roots of this place. The two communities of Allach and Untermenzing remained independent for centuries before eventually joining Munich.
St. Peter and Paul Church anchors the village center and reflects the deep roots of residents in this area. Around this landmark, visitors still encounter working farms and traditional buildings that show how rural life shaped the district.
S-Bahn Line 2 connects the district to Munich's transport network with stations at Untermenzing and Karlsfeld. Access to the Northwest motorway ring makes it easy to reach from different directions by car.
The district hosts Munich's largest industrial concentration with companies like MAN, MTU, and Kraus-Maffei sprawling across extensive grounds. This industrial core stands in sharp contrast to the rural character of the village center.
