München-Giesing station

Munich-Giesing station is a surface-level S-Bahn station in Obergiesing with three platform tracks at ground level. The facility connects multiple railway lines within the city's transit network and handles several transit lines serving the metropolitan area.

Operations began on 10 October 1898, when the location was surrounded by meadows and fields more than a kilometer away from the original Giesing settlement. As Munich expanded, the station became a key transportation hub for the expanding neighborhood.

The former station building now houses a cultural center and restaurant that use the original structure with its period architectural details. Visitors can experience the area's history through these preserved spaces and their 19th-century design elements.

The station is easily accessible with good facilities for visitors of all mobility levels. Peak travel times bring crowds, so visiting during quieter hours allows better appreciation of the building and its surroundings.

The station received monument protection status in 1985 under Bavarian law, making it one of the few stations from this era to retain its original character. This designation allowed the historic structure to be preserved while accommodating modern transit operations.
