history

Franz Xaver Zahnbrecher (1882–1935) wanted to build a settlement earlier on the site of today's garden city Johanneskirchen. He was the initiator of the first settlement in Johanneskirchen, the Zahnbrechersiedlung named after him . Zahnbrecher took his first steps towards this in October 1932. To do this, he wanted to acquire the Pfarrwiese (also: Nagerlwiese ) next to the Zahnbrechersiedlung from the Oberföhringer church Pfründe St. Lorenz. The second settlement in Johanneskirchen was to be built on the 41.2 day work site (around 14 hectares ) with 90 to 120 settler positions. A plot of land of 1150 m² and a few days' work for a school and a church with a parsonage were planned for each house . Zahnbrecher initially offered 560 Reichsmarks per day (around 3408 m²) - a fifth less than in the first settlement, as the parish meadow was more humid than the area of ​​the first settlement. At first, however, no agreement could be reached.

The next year, in June 1933 , the government of Upper Bavaria approved the construction of the second settlement under certain conditions, with the approval of the higher church authorities. Now, however, only 36 days' work (approx. 12.2 hectares) were available for this, with around 5 days of work (1.7 hectares) being planned for a main road . 2 Tagwerk (6800 m²) had to be given free of charge to the Pfarrpfründestiftung as part of the area for a later church building site. They agreed on a price of 800 Reichsmarks per day. If the settlement should not come into being, the beneficiary foundation had the right to take back the land. At that time the parish meadow was leased to a shepherd . In September he complained to the benefice, as there was a football playground, footpaths and bike paths were created and there was also drills on the area.

It is not clear why the second settlement was no longer built. Funding may have failed . It could also be due to the problems that Zahnbrecher got as part of the first settlement with the Munich-Johanneskirchen settlement company .

It took about 50 years until the garden city Johanneskirchen could finally arise there. For this purpose, the St. Lorenz Parish Foundation provided the land at favorable conditions within the framework of the heritable building right . This settlement was made possible due to the housing procurement program of the state capital Munich, which was initiated by the then Mayor Erich Kiesl . The Bavarian property management took over the sponsorship . Applicants for the properties were selected according to certain criteria. Among other things, terraced houses with separate apartments for the "Seniors in the Family Association" program or six handicapped-accessible single-family houses were built.

The foundation stone was laid in February 1983 . The topping-out ceremony was celebrated on October 24, 1983 . The 379 residential units of the first construction phase were ready for occupancy as early as 1984 . In 1985, the second phase of construction with 144 apartments, two doctor's offices and a shopping center was completed. The access roads became avenues . The footpaths and bike paths are laid out on two wide angles that run through the settlement. The gardens were planted with fruit trees. Subsequently, in the third and final construction phase, 22 row houses and a block of flats with rental apartments were built on an area that no longer belonged to Oberföhringer Kirchengrund. Therefore, these houses also had to be acquired as property , as the heritable building right was not applied here.
