Discover Milbertshofen-Am Hart

You can explore Milbertshofen-Am Hart on your trip through two cultural focal points: the official KulturGeschichtsPfad and the BMW theme. This brings historic sites together with the worlds of vehicles, design and corporate history. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay in Munich, these interests can help you decide what to focus on during your trip.

History in the district

The official KulturGeschichtsPfad comprises three walks. They connect historic village centres around the churches of St. George, 20th-century housing estates and former sites. The places mentioned include the former Oberwiesenfeld Airport and the former collection and deportation camp on Knorrstraße. The trail is available in a revised second edition. This way, a single offering brings together local history, 20th-century housing estates and former uses of the area.

BMW themes: present and past

BMW provides another thematic highlight in the district. The offerings at BMW Welt and the BMW Museum differ: BMW Welt presents current BMW Group brands, vehicles, architecture and motoring experiences; the museum explores BMW’s history through vehicles, designs and prototypes. Their focus in time therefore differs: current brands and experiences on the one hand, historical development on the other. This distinction can help you choose whether to focus on design and current brands or on history, vehicles and prototypes.

Cultural history in Munich

Munich’s Residenz offers a broader historical perspective. From 1508 to 1918, it served as the seat of government and residence of the Bavarian dukes, electors and kings. For more than four centuries, it combined political functions with residential use. This long period offers a different historical reference point from the construction phases of individual sights.

Munich’s Frauenkirche was built in the 15th century; by 1488, the building was complete apart from the spires of its two towers. The Court Garden at the Munich Residenz was laid out between 1613 and 1617, modelled on an Italian Renaissance garden. Elector Karl Theodor opened it to the public in 1780. Admission is free; check this information before your visit. Munich thus brings together architectural history and garden design from different periods.

The Monopteros in the English Garden offers another perspective on Munich’s architecture and cityscape. Leo von Klenze built it between 1833 and 1837. From there, you can look out over the meadows in the southern English Garden and the silhouette of Munich’s Old Town, including the Frauenkirche, the New Town Hall and Alter Peter. The view brings together the park and the Old Town’s prominent buildings.

The Deutsches Museum in Munich invites you to explore 20 permanent exhibitions across 20,000 square metres. The number of exhibitions and the area may change; check the details if they are important for your planning. Munich brings together very different cultural themes: district history and BMW, as well as architectural history, gardens and museums.
