Small town charm in Dachau

Location and history
Dachau is located approx. 32 km northwest of Munich (Zentrum) and looks back on an eventful history. The Celts settled in the area of today's large district town as early as 500 BC. In 805 AD, "Dahaua" was donated to the Bishop of Freising. From 1182, the property fell to the Wittelsbach dynasty, under whose rule Dachau Castle was built, which only partially withstood the Napoleonic occupiers. In the 19th century, however, the village experienced a new heyday as a painters' colony (Carl Spitzweg, Max Liebermann, Fritz von Uhde and many others), as the surrounding landscape offered wonderful motifs. The Dachau concentration camp memorial is a reminder of the town's dark past during the Second World War.

Infrastructure
Dachau now has a population of over 36,000. A good infrastructure, many leisure activities and the charm of a small townin the immediate vicinity of a large city and the airport make Dachau an attractive place to live. The residential development is mixed, with both detached houses and larger apartment buildings. If you have not found what you are looking for here, it is worth taking a look at the municipality of Karlsfeld.
