Mammendorf: Outdoor swimming pool, S-Bahn and architectural history
Accommodation in Mammendorf
For planning your trip to Mammendorf, the outdoor swimming pool and the town’s churches offer two different points of interest. The transport options to the pool and the dated construction phases can help you decide whether these topics suit your stay. If you are looking for a hotel for a trip to Mammendorf, this distinction can help you sort out your own interests in advance.
Getting to the outdoor swimming pool from the station
Mammendorf station is served by the S3. From there, you can continue by bus or walk to the outdoor swimming pool in about 30 minutes. Check the current connections before travelling if you are planning your journey around them. Mammendorf outdoor swimming pool has a multi-purpose pool with an air-bubble system and a current channel. This provides both a specific route from the station and two features of the pool that may be relevant to your visit. If the outdoor swimming pool is an important part of your stay, also check the operator’s current information before your visit.
Two churches, different construction phases
The Catholic parish church of St. James in Mammendorf is essentially a Romanesque hall church. Its choir has a polygonal end, and a flanking tower stands on the north side. The church was remodelled in the Late Gothic style around 1418, given a Baroque makeover in 1796/97, and its nave was extended in 1903. Its history therefore encompasses several successive changes: from the Romanesque core through the Late Gothic remodelling to later alterations. When comparing the periods, it is important to remember that the Romanesque core and the later construction phases belong to the same church.
The Catholic branch church of St. Nicholas and Sylvester in Mammendorf is a Baroque hall church with a strongly recessed apse and an attached eastern tower topped by a pointed spire. The church was built by Lorenz Sappel in 1763. The tower was redesigned in the Neo-Romanesque style in 1856. St. Nicholas and Sylvester therefore brings together a Baroque church building and the later design of its tower. Compared with St. James, whose history includes several remodelling phases, the most useful points here are the date of the building and the tower’s distinct later design phase.
Nannhofen Castle in the context of the municipality
Nannhofen Castle in Nannhofen is part of the municipality. Built in 1752, the three-storey Baroque building has a hipped roof, eight bays by three, and a tower in its west façade. Jean Baptiste Métivier gave the castle its Neoclassical design in 1840/48; the ensemble also includes an English-style park dating from the 19th century. These details highlight different aspects of the ensemble: its original Baroque form, its Neoclassical design and the park. Nannhofen Castle is another architectural point of interest within the municipality, while the two churches described above are located directly in Mammendorf.
FĂĽrstenfeldbruck as the wider travel destination
The wider travel destination of FĂĽrstenfeldbruck offers further, distinct cultural and nature-related points of interest. The FurthmĂĽhle in Egenhofen preserves its grain mill and sawmill machinery in its original, working condition. A signposted circular trail through the Haspelmoor begins at Haspelmoor station; local trail conditions may change, so check them before setting out.
The Fürstenfeldbruck Museum is housed in the former monastery brewery and explores, among other topics, the work of the “white monks” of the Cistercian order. The Abbey Church of the Assumption of Mary on the Fürstenfeld monastery grounds is considered one of the country’s most magnificent Baroque churches. These regional points of interest complement Mammendorf’s churches with industrial history, a walking trail and the culture of the monastery grounds. If these interests matter to your travel plans, consider Fürstenfeldbruck explicitly as the wider setting.
