Munich Pasing, Railway junction station in Pasing-Obermenzing, Germany
Munich Pasing is a railway junction station in Pasing-Obermenzing with Renaissance Revival architecture serving regional and long-distance trains. The building extends across multiple platforms and connects various rail lines at a central transportation hub.
Friedrich Bürklein designed the station, which opened on October 7, 1840, establishing the first railway connection to western Munich. This opening marked a turning point in how the region developed its transportation networks.
The station building displays 19th-century architectural traditions through its monumental design, preserved to this day as a protected heritage monument. It shapes the character of western Munich and reflects how the city valued its infrastructure during that era.
The station sits at about 527 meters elevation and functions as a transfer point between S-Bahn local trains and long-distance services. Visitors will find a working network of multiple tracks and platforms clearly organized for efficient movement.
The station is built at ground level rather than on elevated viaducts, which sets it apart from many other railway facilities and keeps it closer to its surroundings. This arrangement creates more direct connections to the neighborhood and gives the station a special relationship to daily life in the area.
