Location of the community Feldkirchen in the district of Munich

Feldkirchen is a municipality in the Upper Bavarian district of Munich , directly at the former Munich-Riem Airport . In recent years the community has developed from a place with a village structure to a suburban community.

Community structure

There are no officially designated parts of the municipality for the municipality. The residential area at "Dornacher Feld" is an additional voting district.

history

The first written mention of Feldkirchen together with a chapel goes back to the year 853. The chapel is dedicated to St. Bishop Emmeram , who died near Feldkirchen in the second half of the 7th century. Feldkirchen was later assigned to the Munich Rent Office and the Wolfratshausen Regional Court of the Electorate of Bavaria . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria , today's municipality was created with the municipal edict of 1818 .

After the so-called "Überrheiner" (especially from the Palatinate and Baden ) settled in Feldkirchen, one of the first Protestant parishes in the Munich area was founded in 1833. This parish later became the mother parish of a number of other evangelical parishes in the area.

With the opening of the Munich – Neuötting railway on May 1, 1871, Feldkirchen received its own train station . The Feldkirchen – Abzw Nordost freight line (near Johanneskirchen ), which went into operation on January 1, 1942, was shut down and dismantled in 1949. The original route is now under protection in the form of a biotope approximately three kilometers in length.

After the quarrying of gravel at the quarry pond on the eastern municipality boundary , the Heimstettener See was built in 1937 , which is now used as a swimming lake and local recreation area.

With the construction of the nearby A 99 and A 94 autobahns with the “Feldkirchen Ost” and “Feldkirchen West” autobahn connections, the supraregional connection of the town was significantly expanded.

The closure of the neighboring former Munich-Riem airport in 1992 led to a better quality of life for the residents. In the years that followed, the Munich district Messestadt Riem with the Riem Arcaden shopping center and the Riemer Park landscape park were built on the airport grounds .

Feldkirchen started a future project in 2008 together with the communities of Aschheim and Kirchheim . Geothermal energy is distributed to the communities via a district heating network and reduces dependence on fossil raw materials. After the first borehole in 2008, the first households were connected in 2009.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018 the community grew from 3,375 to 7,526 by 4,151 inhabitants or 123% - the second highest percentage increase in population after Unterföhring in the district in the period mentioned.

Name origin

The St. Emmeram Chapel

The historical role of Feldkirch as one of the first Protestant parishes in the region is often wrongly interpreted as the origin of the name in the assumption that Protestants who were not tolerated in Munich were forced to build their church outside the city ("on the field"). However, this is wrong for several reasons. Firstly, the Feldkirchen Protestants did not come from Munich, but from areas on the left bank of the Rhine; secondly, the community used to be far too far from the outskirts of Munich to serve as an alternative point for a church, thirdly, there was no such eviction of Protestants in Munich, and fourthly, Feldkirchen already existed under this name long before a Protestant denomination even emerged. Only the derivation of the “church on the field” is correct, but this referred to the chapel for St. Emmeram that was built near the old salt road .

religion

The Protestant Church (view from the town hall)

The parish of the evangelical parish of Feldkirchen currently includes the political parishes of Feldkirchen and Aschheim as well as those districts of the parish of Vaterstetten that formed the parish of Parsdorf until 1978 (Hergolding, Neufarn , Parsdorf, Purfing and Weißenfeld ). It was founded in 1833 as the first Protestant congregation in the Munich area and therefore gained regional importance. The mother parish in Feldkirchen organized the first lessons and services from 1918 in Dorfen , 1920 in Grafing , 1921 in Erding , 1937 in Aschheim, Parsdorf , Poing , Markt Schwaben , Vaterstetten and Riem and in 1971 in Kirchheim near Munich .

After one of King I. Ludwig (Bayern) for the entire Kingdom of Bavaria approved fund raising in 1840 immediately after the municipal border to church today Kirchheim (district Heimstetten) in today's St. Emmeram Memorial Grove built St. Emmeram Memorial Chapel was inaugurated in 1843 and renovated between 1978 and 1983.

In addition to the Protestant and Catholic parishes, there is also the Gospel Life Center (a Christian free church ) in Feldkirchen .

The current coat of arms of the municipality goes back to a municipal council resolution of February 4, 1970, in which the meaning of the heraldic elements is explained.

Description : Split by blue and silver; to the left, above a lowered silver oblique left-hand bar, a golden shell; on the right a blue sphere from which a blue cross rises.

The sloping left-hand bar represents the old traffic route, the Salt Road , leading through Feldkirchen . The scallop shell symbolizes the Catholic parish of St.Jakob d. J .; the blue ball of the cross symbolizes the particularly old Protestant parish in Feldkirchen.
