Living in Hohenbrunn: quiet living between Riemerling, the forest and Munich
Beautiful Munich countryside
Hohenbrunn is one of the classic suburban communities in the south-eastern Munich area. The municipality combines a location close to nature with quick routes to the state capital and benefits from its position between Munich, the south-eastern district and the axes towards the Oberland. Official location information particularly emphasizes the combination of the A99, the close connection to the A8 and the good public transport connections.
Districts and spatial structure
For the residential perspective, it is important not to read Hohenbrunn as a uniform place. The municipal area includes the village of Hohenbrunn, the settlement on Grasbrunn Weg, the Luitpoldsiedlung and, above all, the largest district, Riemerling. It is precisely this that gives rise to a range of different residential styles: from a more village-like core to quiet, family-oriented settlement structures with a stronger garden city character.
Classification in the Munich area
In a direct residential comparison, Hohenbrunn often plays a role together with other quiet surrounding areas such as Ottobrunn, Neubiberg or Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn. Hohenbrunn's advantage lies in its mix of a mature community, good transport links and an overall green, less hectic townscape.
Living in Hohenbrunn is characterized above all by low density, lots of greenery and a mature building structure. The town center and many quieter streets are dominated by detached houses, semi-detached houses, smaller apartment buildings and an overall rather relaxed street scene.
Riemerling developed historically from weekend houses and colonies and was managed early on to retain the character of a garden city. This can still be clearly felt in the residential atmosphere today.
This is precisely why Hohenbrunn is particularly plausible for certain target groups: families, couples with longer-term residential prospects, professionals with a connection to Munich, people working from home and those interested in high-quality temporary living in a green setting.
Those looking for a highly urban scene are less likely to find what they are looking for here. On the other hand, those who value tranquillity, everyday security and easy access will find a very harmonious environment in Hohenbrunn.

Shopping
Hohenbrunn is not a classic shopping location, but is suitable for everyday needs and has a local character. The municipality deliberately bundles shopping, gastronomy and other services as an infrastructure close to home. The Hohenbrunn gift voucher, which integrates local points of acceptance from areas such as cuisine, decoration or floral arrangements, also fits in with this. This underlines the character of the town: manageable, practical and geared towards everyday life.
Gastronomy
In terms of gastronomy, Hohenbrunn is also more local than trendy. According to the municipality, there are numerous culinary offerings, from traditional Bavarian cuisine to international specialties, complemented by restaurants and cafés. This is a plus for everyday living: no overloaded nightlife, but reliable and easily accessible restaurants in the town.
Leisure
Hohenbrunn is particularly coherent in this respect. The municipality has an extensive network of paths for cycling, walking, jogging and strolling, an indoor swimming pool in Riemerling, playgrounds and football pitches as well as other sports facilities. The Hohenbrunn circular hiking trail, a family-friendly nature trail with adventure stations, is particularly suitable for families. There is also a wide range of childcare options from crèche to after-school care as well as a school landscape with two elementary school, a secondary school and a Montessori school. Hohenbrunn thus combines nature, exercise and everyday family life in a very coherent way.
