Hartmannshofer Park

Hartmannshofer Park is a natural woodland area with open meadows and a stream running through the Moosach district of Munich. The space features dense forest zones that give way to clearings, with a small watercourse weaving through and shaping the landscape.

The site served as a pheasant-breeding facility and royal hunting ground starting in 1717 under Elector Maximilian Emanuel. It maintained this aristocratic purpose through the 18th and 19th centuries before changing uses in the 20th century.

The site carries memories of its days as a hunting and breeding ground, visible in its name and the way locals still reference its pheasant-breeding legacy. The Fasanerie beer garden sits as a living reminder of how the land was once used, giving the park cultural depth that goes back centuries.

The park is accessible by tram and bus from different directions within Munich, with good public transport links to the area. Visitors should expect natural, less-developed paths since this is a woodland space rather than a manicured urban park.

The Hartmannshofer stream connects to the larger Nymphenburg canal system, playing a quiet role in the city's water management network. This link shows how the park is part of a royal water infrastructure that was designed centuries ago and still functions today.
