Hochmutting is a district of the municipality of Oberschleissheim in the Upper Bavarian district of Munich .
The wasteland is two and a half kilometers southeast of the main town on the edge of the Oberschleißheim airfield .
history
The hermitage in Hochmutting is said to have existed for over a thousand years. In the early 16th century, a forest estate was built as a hunting seat under Wilhelm V. The southern part of Hochmutting has been occupied by the Oberschleißheim cemetery with the Jakobus chapel , which is of Romanesque origin , since 1805 .
At the time of National Socialism, part of the estate was a branch of the Dachau concentration camp . Eleven prisoners were housed there as part of a bomb clearance squad. Plans from the end of the 1930s to move the cemetery in the Berglholz forest closer to the town center were abandoned because of the Second World War and, for financial reasons, no longer pursued after the war. 350 m north of Gut Hochmutting, at the junction of a farm road to the right of Münchener Allee, there is the grave of two Soviet victims of the Second World War who were not buried in the local cemetery.
Todays use
The Hochmutting estate, which used to be managed from Schleißheim Castle , is now privately managed and farms. The former hermitage serves as a cemetery chapel.
Hochmuttinger Heide
The formerly surrounding forests of Hartelholz are all cleared to Hochmutting around today and are used as agricultural land. The nearest forest edges are now more than 500 m away. Only the old trees on Münchener Allee still remind of their existence. To the north of Hochmutting there is a species-rich poor meadow area , which is particularly important for diverse butterfly populations.
