Unterschleißheim offers a range of interests for visitors to explore: local history, places of remembrance, and destinations along the S1. The town museum focuses on history and art; the memorial and places of remembrance address the history of forced labor and the flax-drying facility. There are also specific leisure destinations, such as the aquariush Badewelt and a climbing facility in Rolf-Zeitler-Park. When planning your trip, you can weigh these different options against the train connections to Munich, the airport, and Freising.
Compare destinations on the S1
The S1 serves the Unterschleißheim and Lohhof stops. From both, it runs directly to Feldmoching, where you can connect to the U2, as well as to Munich Central Station and Ostbahnhof. Munich Airport, Marienplatz, and the city of Freising can all be reached from either stop in about 20 minutes. The three destinations therefore take roughly the same amount of time to reach; which one suits you depends on your travel plans. Check the current timetable before setting out, as the times given are for guidance only.
City History and Art
The Unterschleißheim Town Museum presents exhibits on history and art across around 200 m² of exhibition space. The area is approximate; the two subject areas offer different focuses for a visit. The Old Church of St. Ulrich is also part of the town’s history. Together with the “Alter Wirt” inn to the north, it still forms the center of the former farming village of Unterschleißheim. The themed exhibition and this historic town center thus offer different ways to explore history and culture.
Places of Remembrance in Unterschleißheim and Lohhof
Right next to the Unterschleißheim vocational and technical upper secondary school, a memorial commemorates the fate of female and male forced laborers. It consists of four flax fields and seven portrait steles. The 500-meter-long Path of Remembrance connects the memorial with the learning center, making the link between the memorial site and educational work tangible in the landscape.
At the Lohhof Flax-Drying Facility memorial site, a stele with a QR code provides access to a virtual reconstruction of the facility, as well as historical information and photos. Here, a digital resource complements engagement with the historic site. The memorial, Path of Remembrance, and QR code each have a distinct focus: commemorating forced labor, connecting to a learning center, and virtually reconstructing the flax-drying facility.
Leisure Destinations and Local Highlights
A large climbing facility was completed in Rolf-Zeitler-Park, formerly known as Valentinspark, in early summer 2024. Colorful tree trunks, wooden ladders, a rope bridge, and a net tunnel invite visitors to balance, crawl, swing, and climb. As individual elements may change during maintenance, check the latest information before planning a visit specifically around the facility.
The aquariush Badewelt has a 25-meter swimming pool with six lanes. For specific visit plans, it is worth checking the latest operating information. Another special feature is the “Valentinsquelle” in Valentinspark on the southern edge of Unterschleißheim: it bubbles up from a depth of almost 2,000 meters. After a medical and balneological assessment, it was officially recognized as a therapeutic spring in 2016. These details give the spring a distinct place alongside the museum and places of remembrance, without presenting it as a bathing facility.
