Museum Peter Gehring, Private art museum in Moosach district, Munich, Germany.
Museum Peter Gehring is housed in a single-story house with an attached wing in the Moosach district of Munich. The property includes maintained gardens, a greenhouse, a historical swimming area, and original rooms from the postwar period.
The house was built in 1950 by architect Gustav Gsaenger for landscape architect Alfred Reich, with a greenhouse in the cul-de-sac Im Eichgehölz. After Reich died in 1970 and his widow later passed away, Birgit and Peter Gehring took over house and garden in 1998. The ensemble was placed under heritage protection in 2010, and in June 2015 Birgit Andrea Gehring opened it as a private museum.
The house shows how artists and landscape architects lived and worked in the middle of the 20th century. The rooms tell a story of a time when creativity, nature, and home life were closely connected.
The museum opened in June 2015 and is run privately by the Gehring family, so visits are arranged in advance rather than at fixed opening hours. The grounds lie in a cul-de-sac called Im Eichgehölz in Moosach, north of Nymphenburg Palace; the walled garden and the greenhouse are part of the visit.
Peter Gehring knew the complex from photographs while he was an architecture student, long before he and Birgit Gehring took over house and garden in 1998. The garden itself, with its walls, garden architecture and the natural-stone slabs and pebbles edging the swimming pool, is protected alongside the buildings.
