Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied


Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied is the 22nd borough of the German city of Munich. The districts Aubing, Lochhausen and Langwied were incorporated together in 1942, thus forming the largest borough of the city at 3,400 hectares, yet having the lowest density of population with 37,352 residents as of 2002. This large borough still accommodates many vast agricultural and forest areas that together with the Aubinger Lohe and the Langwieder lake district, fulfill the balance of nature in the area and offer recreational facilities to all of western Munich.

A large area between Aubing/Neuaubing and Germering on Munich ground of the Freiham district, east of Gut Freiham is currently under development.

Aubing was first documented in 1010 AD as Ubingen. This name was most likely derived from the name Ubo of the Bavarii, however no such person with that name is actually known of. The longer story which most school children are told of is of, of "Founder Ubo, who settled here with his cart" is just as well established as the neighbouring borough of Pasing's founding story, in that its name stemmed from "Paoso". Neither are accurate.

In 1818 the municipality of Aubing was established, with the districts Aubing, Freiham and Moosschwaige. On 1 April 1942 the Aubing municipality was connected to Munich, but without a treaty of incorporation.

Aubing is divided by the Munich-Buchloe railway line in Alt-Aubing and Neu-Aubing.

Alt-Aubing reflects the origins of Aubing with buildings that still stand today. The old village centre is built around the gothic/baroque parish church St. Quirin with its approximately one-thousand-year-old romanesque tower built in 1480.

Neuaubing arose at the start of the 20th century as settlement for railwaymen and workers.

The Aubing coat of arms goes back to a local aristocratic family from the 12th to the 14th century. It was first mentioned in a document of a known Hartmann of Aubing on 1 May 1334. The layout goes back to Otto Hupp. This was assessment was approved of on 23 February 1933. The coat of arms shows 3 leaves on a silver background.
