Gern (Munich)

Gladly is a district of the Bavarian capital Munich . Together with Neuhausen and Nymphenburg it forms the city ​​district 9 Neuhausen-Nymphenburg .

history

The earliest documented evidence for Gern comes from the year 1025, when it belonged to the fiefs of Freising Bishop Egilbert von Moosburg , while Neuhausen and Kemnaten ( the old name of Nymphenburg ) are only mentioned in Schäftlarn monastery documents in the second half of the 12th century . It is mentioned as Kerin in a directory dating from 1149 to 1155 . Until the secularization in 1803, the five properties were owned by the Hochstift Freising , and the Jägerhäusl was later built as the sixth property. Around the middle of the 19th century, the Gern settlement developed from a farming village into a villa suburb of Munich. In 1899, the rural community of Nymphenburg was happily incorporated into Munich.

Villa colony Gern

The villa colony Gern is the oldest row house settlement in Munich. It was built from 1892 around Böcklinstrasse by the Heilmann & Littmann company . These are two-storey house types combined in groups in a country house style with historicizing shapes and different floor plans, some of which are now listed .

The Gern subway station was decorated with the drafts of the house and site plans for the villa colony and other documents relating to the history of the district, which were projected onto large rear glass surfaces.
