Nonnenwald is a district of the small Upper Bavarian town of Penzberg in the Weilheim-Schongau district . The industrial town is located about two kilometers north of the Penzberg town center in the forest of the same name.

history

The area of ​​the Nonnenwald belonged to Albert Freiherr von Pruckberg until 1291, who then sold it to the Angerkloster in Munich . This put on some fish ponds in and around the area , of which only the Stocksee exists today . The place name is probably derived from the nuns of the Angerkloster as owners of the forest. Vordermeir , Fischhaber, Steigenberg, Kirnberg , Wölfl , Reindl , Heinz and Daser were referred to as farms in the Nonnenwald (“in the forest”) . There was no "Nonnenwald-Hof".

From 1913, the sinking of a shaft for the extraction of pitch coal as part of the Penzberg mine began on the site of today's Nonnenwald district . Production began in 1919, and from 1933 the Nonnenwaldschacht was the last to be operated by the Penzberg mine. Due to a lack of profitability, the mine was closed on September 30, 1966 and the shaft was filled soon afterwards.

Today the industrial town of Nonnenwald is about half a square kilometer. Roche Diagnostics set up a biotechnology center in almost the entire area , which today is the largest in Europe with around 6,000 employees.

In the local registers of 1950 and 1973, the place was classified as a "settlement", and in 1987 as an "industrial site".
