history

Around 1900 the Royal Bavarian State Railways were looking for a location for a new workshop to repair their freight cars. After a long search, the choice finally fell on a 30-hectare site in the municipality of Aubing, which was not incorporated into Munich until 1942. On March 4, 1902, the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the 5th central workshop of the Bavarian State Railroad took place, and the commissioning took place in 1906.

Linked to the construction of the plant was the construction of a railway settlement for the workers, consisting of nine semi-detached houses with over 100 apartments. These were three-storey hipped roof houses with corner pilasters along what is now Papinstrasse with house numbers 9–43, each of which housed twelve apartments. In addition, there were two three-storey so-called officials 'houses, Papinstrasse 49-51, which stood out from the rest in terms of size and appearance - due to the difference in class between them and the workers' houses . In contrast to those of the workers, the apartments of the officials were equipped with bathrooms from the start . There were also seven wash houses and a fire station. The settlement, which was the first residential development in what would later become known as Neuaubing , was built between 1905 and 1906. The first apartments were ready for occupancy from autumn 1905.

All houses in the colony (including wash houses and fire station) were built with exposed brickwork :

"The fact that the brickworks of the houses could be left in their natural (...) state prompted outsiders to simply speak of the red railway houses ... Officially, however, the railway settlement was called 'Kolonie'."

- Bloid 1988, p. 13

Each family in the colony had a small garden plot of approx. 15 m² available:

Anyone who sees the hustle and bustle in the gardens in summer, where almost every father of a family is looking for relaxation in the gardening instead of going to the inn after the day's work or enjoying the peace and quiet on the seats in the garden, will confirm that the social question is primarily one The question of housing is (Bundesbahn -lungswergk München Neuaubing 1981, p. 28).

The gardens were closed at the end of the 1950s.

During the time of National Socialism , some members of the resistance group "The Red Rebels" , headed by the Reichsbahn worker Franz Faltner , lived in the colony. In July 1944 a house was damaged during an air raid on the Reichsbahn repair shop. It was rebuilt in its original state a few years after the war.

In the 1950s the colony was expanded with a few new buildings.

The writer and author Helmut Bloid and the educationalist Manfred Berger lived in the colony when they were children .
