Pasinger Stadtpark, Urban park at Pasing district, Germany.
Pasinger Stadtpark is a landscape garden of nearly 20 hectares stretching about 1.5 km along both sides of the Würm, from the Lochham boundary to the Pasing district hospital. Broad meadows alternate with groups of trees, and the river is dammed into several small lakes. The old parish church Mariä Geburt links the park to the monastery garden.
In 1815 King Maximilian I laid out a park around his Prinz-Carl-Schlösschen on Planegger Straße, predecessor of today's Schloss Gatterburg. In 1929 the Passionist order of the parish church Mariä Geburt took over park and castle and had the two crossing streets, Gatterburgstraße and Gatterburgsche Allee, removed; in return the still independent town of Pasing received large parts of the grounds, the birth of the Stadtpark. It was extended five years later and again in 2004 after the former paper mill closed.
The name reflects the district it sits in, and today visitors experience a mix of open meadows and shaded groves where locals walk, sit, and let children play along the water. The layout shows how the area shifted from royal grounds to public space where people from the neighborhood spend their everyday time.
The park runs about 1.5 km from the Lochham boundary along the Waldkolonie of architect Louis Ende to the Pasing district hospital, on both banks of the Würm. Paths cross the meadows and the dammed lakes, and the ground softens after rain, so sturdy shoes help. The old parish church of Mariä Geburt connects the park with the monastery garden.
Many visitors overlook that a historic monastery building (the Church of Mariä Geburt) links the park to an attached cloister garden, creating one connected green network. This connection reveals how nature and religious spaces intertwine in this part of Munich.
