The Moosschwaige is a secluded estate in the west of Munich . The estate is a listed building as an ensemble, the residential building and the chapel are also protected as individual monuments.

location

The Moosschwaige is located on the western border of Munich in the southwest of the Aubing district in the Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied district at Germeringer Weg 250. It is the only development in southern Aubing west of the A99 motorway ring .

history

The Moosschwaige was first mentioned in documents in 1808 or 1812 as Mos Schweige . The name means Schwaige, so cattle yard, in the moor, the Aubinger Moos. The Schwaige belonged to Gut Freiham to the southeast .

In 1818 the Schwaige became part of the newly established community of Aubing, with which it was incorporated into Munich in 1942.

description

The Schwaige is a four-sided courtyard from the 19th century. Four buildings surround a rectangular courtyard. In the north-west of the courtyard is the residential building, in the north-east and south-west a stable and in the south-east a barn. The entrance to the Schweige is via an avenue from the east.

The central structure of the residential building is a two-storey cubic pavilion with a tent roof and ridge turret. This is followed by two unequal side wings. The pavilion dates from the first half of the 19th century, the side wings are more recent.

The stables, a horse and a cowshed, are single-storey, elongated buildings with a gable roof, the ground floors of which have Prussian capped ceilings . They date from around 1900; the barn that closes off the courtyard to the south is more recent.

There is a small chapel near the confluence of the avenue in the courtyard. It is a saddle roof structure with openings with arched arches on three sides. The openings are secured by grids.

The Moosschwaige is one of the last testimonies of such farms, which are characterized by a secluded location and the connection by an avenue.

Surroundings

The meadows on the Moosschwaige form the source area of ​​the Erlbach . To the north of the manor it flows through some former fish ponds, the Moosschwaiger Weiher . The area around the fish ponds is available as habitat under conservation . The orchards on the estate form another biotope.

The city of Munich acquired the agricultural and forestry areas of the property in 2004 in order to use them as ecological compensation areas as part of an eco-account , but not the farm itself.
