Schloss Gatterburg, late-classical château in Pasing, Munich, Germany

Schloss Gatterburg is a late-classical château in Pasing, built from 1869 for Count Franz von Gatterburg after parts of the earlier country house were demolished. It is a two-story block with a flat hipped roof, and it incorporates an old cross-vaulted cellar from the predecessor building.

King Maximilian I Joseph bought the predecessor, Schloss Pasing on an island in the Würm, from the Berchem family in October 1814, had it demolished and built a country house about 200 m south of the island, which he gave to his son Prince Karl in 1817. In 1841 the estate passed to Baron Karl von Beck, founder of the Pasing paper mill; his daughter Pauline married Count Franz von Gatterburg and brought it to him in 1862. He had it partly demolished and from 1869 built the two-storey Gatterburg with a flat hipped roof over an old cross-vaulted cellar.

The name Gatterburg comes from Reichsgraf Franz von Gatterburg, who married Pauline Beck, heiress of the Pasing paper factory, and rebuilt the country house from 1869. From 1923 the Passionists ran it as a monastery and boarding school; from 1970 a state institute trained teachers for Realschulen. Since the 1999 renovation it has held offices.

Schloss Gatterburg stands in western Munich, in the Pasing district, about 200 m south of the former island site in the Würm. It is a listed building (D-1-62-000-5376) and has housed offices since its 1999 renovation, so it is seen from the outside rather than visited inside.

The building preserves its original oak parquet floors and ornate stucco ceilings beneath its contemporary office use. This combination shows how heritage structures can maintain their historical character while serving entirely new purposes.
