Discover Milbertshofen-Am Hart

Milbertshofen-Am Hart offers culture-minded travelers two distinctive themes: the history of its localities and BMW as a subject connected to the district. The official KulturGeschichtsPfad (Cultural History Trail) draws attention to historic centers, 20th-century housing estates and former sites. BMW Welt and the BMW Museum offer different perspectives on the automotive brand. Together, they provide a varied framework for planning your trip, from local history to vehicles, architecture and design.

Discover history on foot

The official KulturGeschichtsPfad comprises three walking routes. They connect historic centers around the churches of St. George with 20th-century housing estates and former sites, including Oberwiesenfeld Airport and the former collection and deportation camp on Knorrstraße. The routes thus span a range of subjects, from long-established town centers to housing and dark chapters of the past. The trail is available in a revised second edition.

BMW between the present and the past

BMW is another subject associated with Milbertshofen-Am Hart. BMW Welt presents current BMW Group brands, vehicles, architecture and automotive experiences. The BMW Museum explores BMW’s history through vehicles, designs and prototypes. The distinction is clear: BMW Welt focuses on the brand as it is presented today and on automotive experiences, while the museum offers a look at history through its exhibits.

Munich as a wider travel destination

As a wider travel destination, Munich offers further historical perspectives. From 1508 to 1918, the Munich Residenz served as the seat of government and residence of Bavaria’s dukes, electors and kings. Its long history thus brings political and courtly functions together in one place. The Court Garden at the Munich Residenz was laid out between 1613 and 1617, modeled on an Italian Renaissance garden; in 1780, Elector Karl Theodor opened it to the public. The Court Garden is a green park on the edge of the historic Old Town; admission is free. Check the admission information on site before your visit.

For a different kind of experience, the Deutsches Museum in Munich invites visitors to explore 20 permanent exhibitions across 20,000 square meters. The number of exhibitions and the area may change; check the latest information if the exact figures are important for your plans. Leo von Klenze built the Monopteros in Munich’s English Garden between 1833 and 1837; from there, the view extends across the meadows in the southern English Garden and the silhouette of Munich’s Old Town, including the Frauenkirche, New Town Hall and Alter Peter.

The Frauenkirche and Marienplatz also mark historical milestones in Munich: the Gothic Frauenkirche was built in the 15th century; by 1488, the building was complete except for the tops of its two towers. Marienplatz has been at the heart of Munich since the city was founded by Henry the Lion in 1158.
