Denning (Munich)
Denning is a district of the Bavarian capital Munich and belongs to the city district 13 Bogenhausen .
location
Denning is located in the eastern part of the Bogenhausen district between Englschalking in the north and Zamdorf in the south. The historic town center was at the intersection between the east-west axis formed from Denninger and Daglfinger Strasse and the north-south axis formed from Friedrich-Eckart-Strasse and Ostpreußenstrasse. Denning's borders are Vollmannstrasse in the west, Memeler Strasse in the north, the S-Bahn line in the east and Denninger Anger in the south.
history
In Roman times, the Dennings area was populated from around the end of the first to the middle of the third century. A villa rustica with its own bath house, excavated in 1928, is evidence of Denning's Roman past .
Denning was first mentioned in documents around 1200 as "Tenningen" or "Danningen", which probably goes back to the personal name "Tenno".
Around 1800 Denning was a hamlet with four courtyards, of which only the old core courtyard is preserved today, and one chapel, the Guardian Angel Chapel . One of the courtyards and the Guardian Angel Chapel were demolished in the 1950s, the other two courtyards fell victim to the relocation of Daglfinger Strasse in the late 1970s.
When the community was formed in Bavaria in 1818 , the hamlet of Denning initially formed the independent community of Zamdorf with Zamdorf and Steinhausen , which was incorporated into the community of Daglfing in 1820 . Denning's application to be reassigned to Bogenhausen was rejected by the responsible authorities in 1873. At the end of the 19th century there were eight properties in Denning, by 1930 the number of houses had increased to 140.
While the almost two-meter-thick layer of clay lying under a thin layer of humus was used for agriculture in the past, it was dismantled in the 19th century for brick production for the rapidly growing building activity in Munich. The Ludwigskirche , for example, was built with the bricks fired in Denning . After the clay was exhausted, the pits were used to extract gravel . The disused gravel works on Denninger Strasse, more precisely on Pühnstrasse, was the last witness of the gravel mining. Due to its dilapidation, however, it was torn down, so that the area now offers residents a place of relaxation that nature has been able to slowly but steadily recapture.
The community of Daglfing was incorporated into Munich on January 1, 1930.
The settlement activity began in 1924 even before it was incorporated into Munich: To the east of today's Ostpreußenstrasse around today's Platz Zur Deutschen Einheit , the Obermaiersche Colony was built , named after the lead contractor. From 1926 the Denninger colony was established west of what is now East Prussia Street. At the end of the 1960s, the Denninger Strasse-Warthestrasse housing estate was built south of Denninger Strasse with four to eight-story residential complexes, which were also known as "Denninger skyscrapers" because of the otherwise lower development in Denning.
Today's townscape
The townscape of Dennings is characterized today by residential areas with single-family houses surrounded by gardens. Only in the Denninger Strasse-Warthestrasse housing estate at the southern end of Denning are there high-rise buildings. The oldest surviving property in Denning is the “ Alter Kernhof ” restaurant on the corner of East Prussia and Denninger Strasse.
Denning's main axis is East Prussia Street, where there are over 100 shops and service providers, including the “Mächtlinger” household goods store, which is one of the last in Munich to sell almost everything that is needed in the household, from mousetraps to special screws could. There are also eateries and a beer pub on East Prussia Street.
Since the Guardian Angel Chapel was demolished in 1953, there has been no Roman Catholic church building in Denning . The Catholic parish church of St. Emmeram in the neighboring district of Englschalking is only a few meters away from the border between the two districts on East Prussia Street. Also near this border, but on the Denninger side, is the Evangelical Lutheran Immanuel Church on Memeler Straße.
In the Dennings core area there are only smaller green spaces such as B. on Posener Platz or on the square Zur Deutschen Einheit. The Denninger Anger stretches along the entire southern border of Denning, and in the west there is a green band in a north-south direction. In Denninger Anger, at Denninger Strasse 190, a little set back from the street, there is still the administrative building of the Obermaier gravel quarrying works, which was closed in 1975, as the last witness of the use of the area for gravel mining following the clay mining. Parts of the actual crushing plant were also located here until 2002.
