Lerchenau Colony

The Lerchenau is a settlement colony that emerged from 1901 in Feldmoching , which was still independent at the time , as the population in the Munich area increased steadily. Feldmochinger farmers sold land on the outskirts of the city and the Fasanerie-Nord (since 1897), the Lerchenau and Am Hart (since 1908) with market gardens and settlement houses were established. The name can be traced back to an earlier, very bird-rich hunting area for small game owned by the lords of Schleissheim . In fact, Lorenz Westenrieder already mentions the larks when he described a walk from Schleißheim to Schwaige St. Georg ( Milbertshofen ) and on over the Würm Canal to the city of Munich in 1792 : "The lark rose to heaven for the last time and was still indebted up there once in the mild shine, and, the lark passed, the lonely Rab flew "

In the further development the Lerchenau belonged to Feldmoching, became independent after 1914 and incorporated with Feldmoching in 1938 to Munich .

In 1963, Münchner SC, founded in 1896 (Germany's oldest, unchanged existing hockey club) moved to Lerchenau.

The Lerchenau is a place on the cultural history trails in Munich .
