Guided Story

Feel that breeze? It's the welcoming touch of Holzapfelkreuth. Just behind you, in the lush greenery, Josef Holzapfel once lived, the son of a forester who ran a farm here in the 19th century. Imagine, this was once a bustling estate when the area was still known as Kreuth. Now, the metro station you're standing at bears his name. Up until 1989, this was the last stop on the U3 line. Look around, and you'll see how history weaves into the present day. A place steeped in history, yet so much a part of Munich's vibrant life today.
