Emmering: Nature, Culture and Activity

Emmering combines local history with music, a water-rich habitat and opportunities for active recreation. The community center is home to an annual concert tradition, the parish church tower brings an architectural change made in 1961 to life, and Emmeringer Hölzl brings together old trees, waterways and floodplains. There is also a pump track at Bachwöhr. The town offers a range of starting points for planning your stay.

Cultural history and music

The community center at Lauscherwörth was opened to the public in November 1988. Every year, students from various instrumental classes at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich perform there. This concert tradition gives Emmering a musical dimension distinct from the church’s architectural history. If you are interested in music, it is a specific aspect to consider when planning your trip.

The present-day parish church of St. John the Baptist also offers an opportunity to explore Emmering’s architectural history. Its tower was retained from the previous building and took on its present form when it was extended in 1961. One part of the building thus brings together an older preserved structure and a clearly dated later change. For visitors interested in culture, local history becomes tangible in a specific building.

In the reporting year 2024, Emmering Public Library organized a total of 23 events. This dated figure adds another perspective on the town’s cultural life to its musical and architectural history. Together, the community center, church tower and library represent different cultural themes, rather than reducing Emmering to a single attraction.

Natural habitat and active recreation

Emmeringer Hölzl is characterized by its stands of old trees and a high proportion of deadwood. It also has numerous waterways and floodplains, and is a habitat for many threatened animal and plant species. For nature lovers, the distinctive feature is not just the trees: water and the diversity of habitats there are also part of the picture. This makes the Hölzl a destination in its own right, alongside local culture and sport.

The pump track at Bachwöhr, behind the fire station, offers a different kind of activity. Cultural history, habitat and exercise are three clearly distinct interests to consider when planning a trip. If you are looking for accommodation in Emmering, you can start by asking yourself which of these themes you want to shape your stay. For a trip with varied interests, this distinction offers practical guidance without requiring everyone to share the same holiday theme.

Fürstenfeldbruck as a wider travel destination

In the wider travel destination of Fürstenfeldbruck, Furthmühle offers a distinct technical attraction: it preserves its grain mill and sawmill machinery in its original, working condition. This differs thematically from Emmering’s local history, as seen around the community center and church tower. Here, the focus is on preserved mill technology—another way to explore the region’s cultural heritage.

The Fürstenfeldbruck Museum is housed in the former monastery brewery and explores, among other things, the work of the “white monks” of the Cistercian Order. On the Fürstenfeld monastery grounds, the Abbey Church of the Assumption of Mary is considered one of the country’s most magnificent Baroque churches. The museum and church offer different focal points: monastic history and Baroque architecture.

The Veranstaltungsforum Fürstenfeld hosts markets, trade fairs and balls, as well as performances ranging from early music and Klaviersommer to blues, jazz, dance, shows and cabaret. This offers another cultural perspective in the wider travel destination; individual events vary. If a particular event is important to your trip, check the dates for your travel period.
