Discover Feldkirchen: local history, activity and the S2

Feldkirchen combines a local tradition associated with Saint Emmeram with a neo-Gothic brick chapel that still stands today. It also offers a calisthenics facility, an S2 connection and Lake Heimstettener in the wider surrounding area. This provides a range of starting points for planning your trip: local history, exercise, rail connections and a landscape shared across municipal boundaries.

Plan with the S2 and discover local history

Feldkirchen station is served by S-Bahn line S2 towards Erding; towards the city center, the S2 runs from the station to Marienplatz. If Marienplatz or trips towards Erding are part of your plans, this connection may be a factor when choosing accommodation in Feldkirchen. Check the current timetable before traveling, as services may change.

Emmeram Chapel and Feldkirchen’s local tradition

Emmeram Chapel stands at the end of Emeranstraße, near the Feldkirchen town sign towards Heimstetten. According to local tradition, Bishop Emmeram of Regensburg is said to have died at a crossroads in a lonely field; later, a small church is said to have been built on the site. Feldkirchen’s local tradition thus links the town’s history and name with Saint Emmeram and the site of today’s chapel. The neo-Gothic brick chapel, which still stands today, was solemnly consecrated on the saint’s feast day, September 22, 1843. A local story and a precisely dated event in the building’s history thus stand side by side.

An active option on Wiesenweg

If you would like to be active, there is a calisthenics facility on Wiesenweg (Jahnstraße/Pfarrer-Axenböck-Straße). You can train your strength and endurance there for free. This offers a different focus from Emmeram Chapel: here, it is about getting active yourself; there, it is about local history. If you are planning for a range of interests, you can weigh these options when shaping your stay.

Lake Heimstettener in the wider surrounding area

Lake Heimstettener lies within the municipalities of Kirchheim, Aschheim and Feldkirchen, making it a landscape shared across municipal boundaries. Its total area is 236,000 m²: 110,000 m² is water and 126,000 m² is land. Of the land area, 69,000 m² is sunbathing lawn. The developed shoreline is about 1,600 meters long.
