Planegg

Planegg is a municipality west of Munich that encompasses several districts separated by the Würm river. The area mixes residential neighborhoods with small commercial zones and open green spaces that shape daily life for those living here.

The first written mention of this place dates to the 15th century, when the area was already established as a settlement. Over the centuries it developed gradually while keeping its rural character for the most part.

The four districts of Planegg, Martinsried, Steinkirchen, and Maria Eich each have their own local character and traditions. Maria Eich, with its pilgrimage church, holds particular religious significance for the community.

The area is well connected to Munich's public transport system, with the S-Bahn station offering regular trains to the city and other nearby areas. Walking paths and small squares throughout the municipality invite exploration on foot.

Two prestigious Max Planck Institutes dedicated to biochemistry and biological intelligence have their home in the Martinsried district. This draws researchers and specialists from around the world while the surrounding area remains quiet and green.
