history

Lochham was first mentioned in a document as Lohen in 1256. Later the names Lohheim, Lochen, Loham and Lochheim appear. The name probably alludes to the fact that the Würmtal's first clearing site was located here in prehistoric times . The story of Lochham is closely linked to that of Hofmark Gräfelfing , often also to Planeggs and Feste Planek . When the Bavarian dukes Rudolf and Ludwig divided the country, “Lohen an der Wirm” was added to Munich's share. In 1627/28 the town was ravaged by the plague, and in 1632 Swedish troops invaded. In 1876, a large fire destroyed five of the then ten Lochham properties.

Since the community education in 1818 Lochham belongs to the municipality Gräfelfing .

In 1910, prehistorians discovered eleven burial mounds in Lochham as very early evidence of the Middle Bronze Age (tumulus culture); They also found skulls with a rounded opening as evidence of an operative skull opening trepanation and the activity of medicine men. In 1938 Friedrich Holste worked out the so-called Lochham horizon as a special phase of this epoch by comparing finds with other places . Other parts of the place were apparently settled very early, for example in the area of ​​today's Lindenstraße, Maria-Eich-Straße and Straße Im Birket.

geography

Lochham is traversed by the Würm . The settlement area has meanwhile grown together with Graefelfing. In the north, Lochham borders on the Bavarian capital Munich and the Pasinger Stadtpark . The BAB 96 (Munich - Lindau ) leads through Lochham, partly through a tunnel.

Attractions

The Catholic parish church for Lochham is St. John the Evangelist . It was built in 1946/47. The Academy of Bavarian Bakery Crafts is located in Lochham .
