Welcome to Germerings homepage - Nice having you here!

Andreas Haas, Lord Mayor of Germering

Currently 41.000 people call our city their home. With this number of inhabitants Germering has become the sixth largest municipality in Oberbayern. Historically, our town has been formed in 1978 by uniting the two former independent communities Germering and Unterpfaffenhofen. In 1991 the former municipality was officially nominated as City and since 2004 is allowed to call itself “Große Kreisstadt”. And of course the two twin towns, Domont (France) and Balatonfüred (Hungary), have long become good friends.

Asking the locals what makes living here so attractive, you will be sure to receive many different answers.
The main reasons are the excellent infrastructure, the large variety of shopping facilities and a very good medical care situation. In addition Germering is proud to own an outstanding social net providing lots of help and support for people every age. Especially of interest for young families is the variety of care facilities for children, together with the availability of all kinds of schools such as primary schools, secondary schools, high schools and the “Sonderpädagogische Förderzentrum”.

Of course Germering is of interest as a working and economic location, too. Solid structures have grown during the last few decades, resulting in prospering local trades.
Most of us appreciate the nearby connections to the A96 and A99 motorways as well as the direct S-Bahn connection (S8) to the Munich Airport on the east end and to Herrsching at the Lake Ammersee on the west end.

However, you don’t have to travel far, to spend your free time. For Germering offers many possibilities to avoid any reason to get bored, too. There are the indoor and outdoor pools, the ice-skating facility “Polariom”, the play grounds for younger and older children as well as the area around the “Germeringer See” with its variety of footwalks, the barbeque areas and the barefoot path and Kneipp-Basins.
Those of you, who want more sportive actions, will find lots of options at the local sport clubs.
Furthermore you can join all kinds of choirs, orchestras and art societies. All of which demonstrate their talents regularly in exhibitions, concerts, performances and every other year at the “Germeringer Musiknacht”. Most of them take place at our Stadthalle, complementing its excellent cultural program of nationally and internationally known artists.

If instead you want to spend a quiet evening with a good book, make sure to visit the Stadtbibliothek. The library provides more than 67.000 books, audiobooks, electronic media, newspapers and magazines etc. Or come and have a look around in the museum “Zeit + Raum”. It exhibits the history of the area´s settlement since the Stone Age.

The many social associations and the local churches in Germering are proud to receive lots of honorary help from our citizens, too. Thanks to them many people find not only help and understanding, but also togetherness and friends.

Further information about the more than 170 Germeringer clubs and associations, the Stadthalle and Stadtbibliothek can be obtained on this homepage and the interactive city map.

I invite you most heartily to explore Germering via our new homepage or come and visit us – preferably at one of our festivals or markets, which we celebrate throughout the year.
