The royal deer garden is a park in the Munich district of Nymphenburg in the west of the city.

history

The deer garden goes back to a pheasantry established in 1720 . Hops have been grown here for the electoral breweries since 1767 . This had to give way to a silkworm farm in 1786 , for which 17,000 mulberry trees were planted. However, the project turned out to be unprofitable.

In 1780, Elector Karl Theodor commissioned his master hunter, Johann Theodor Freiherr von Waldkirch, to lay out a 131 day (44.6 hectare) hunting ground for the nobility . Part of the area was fenced in and 100 fallow and red deer were released.

The park soon became very popular after the enlightened Elector Karl Theodor made it available to the citizens of Munich. The Jägerhaus , built in 1791 , was an elongated, single-storey, low-proportioned gable roof building with a slightly raised hip roof risalit in the middle, and served as the first restaurant. During the construction of the Munich – Augsburg railway line (1840), the Hirschgarten was reduced in size.

In the years 1958/59 the north-eastern part of the park was redesigned as an urban recreation area. From 1968 to 1970 it was expanded into a public park with an extension to the south. The Hirschgarten is also one of the landscape protection areas in Munich (LSG-00120.16).

In 2007 a new development plan for the Am Hirschgarten (Birketweg) area became legally binding. After Deutsche Bahn had given up a large part of the area of ​​the former marshalling yard, new residential quarters were built between the remaining tracks and the Hirschgartenpark, in which traces of the former use (lamps, remains of track) can still be found. A small part has again been designated as a park and is called Hirschgarten Süd .

description

In addition to trees, some of which are over 150 years old, the 40 hectares offer playgrounds, lawns, barbecue areas, hilly meadows with tobogganing facilities and the supposedly largest beer garden in the world with 8,000 seats. To the southwest of the beer garden there is still a two-hectare enclosure with fallow deer and mouflon .

The Hirschgarten is designated as a landscape protection area Hirschgarten (LSG-00120.16).

Two weeks before the Auer Jakobi-Dult , since 1959 at the end of July, the Magdalenenfest has been taking place on nine days in the Hirschgarten with rides, sausage roasters, confectionery stands and stalls for everyday items (pots, knives, jewelry, belts, etc.). The Magdalenenfest has been in use since 1728 and is open between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m.

There is an underground rainwater retention basin for the Munich city drainage system under the Hirschgarten .
