Living in the Fasanerie: living between lakes, gardens and good connections
The green north of Munich
Fasanerie is located in the north of Munich and belongs to the district 24 Feldmoching-Hasenbergl. The location is particularly interesting from a residential perspective because it combines two qualities: On the one hand, the district is clearly located within Munich's urban area; on the other hand, the lake landscape and adjacent green areas give it a much more relaxed feel than many more densely built-up districts. The state capital describes the district overall as being strongly characterized by green spaces; this explicitly includes Fasaneriesee, Feldmoching See and Lerchenau See.
The Fasanerie is particularly impressive due to its location qualities: Fasaneriesee and Lerchenau Lake are just a few minutes' walk away, with Allach Lohe to the south. At the same time, the S-Bahn station on the S1 line provides a fast connection to the city center and the surrounding urban areas. This creates a residential environment that is close to nature without being cut off from urban life.
Adjacent neighborhoods
People who live in Fasanerie are not only oriented towards their own neighborhood in everyday life, but also towards the surrounding districts. The proximity to Feldmoching, Hasenbergl, Moosach and Lerchenau creates an environment that combines quiet living with good connectivity. Added to this is the proximity to the lake district in the north of Munich, which further enhances the leisure and recreational value. This is important for prospective residents because although the Fasanerie is quiet and self-contained, it is not isolated.

The Fasanerie is, above all, a residential neighborhood characterized by small-scale development and abundant green spaces. Single-family homes and townhouses define many of the Fasanerie’s residential areas. This is precisely what sets the Fasanerie apart from many other residential areas in Munich: instead of dense block structures or large-scale neighborhoods, a more understated, residential-oriented atmosphere prevails here.
Historically, the settlement originated as a colony on the former site of the Elector’s pheasant garden. The City of Munich’s Cultural History Trail notes that following the realignment of the Munich–Landshut railway line in 1892, a train stop was established, and settlement in the Fasanerie colony increased beginning in 1910. By 1912, it already comprised 43 properties with around 300 residents. This development explains why the neighborhood still feels more like it has grown organically rather than having been planned as a large-scale urban development.
Typical resident groups in the neighborhood include, for example:
- Families
- Couples looking for a quiet neighborhood
- Working professionals who need good S-Bahn access
- People who appreciate plenty of green space and lakes in the immediate vicinity
- People interested in temporary housing in a quieter part of northern Munich
This classification is based on the residential structure, the proximity to the lakes, the S-Bahn access, and the overall residential character of the Fasanerie.

Shopping
For everyday needs, Fasanerie offers a rather compact and everyday supply. Individual stores cover important basic needs on site, while larger shopping and supply facilities can be reached in the neighboring districts. The connection to the Olympia shopping center also extends the practical radius. As a result, Fasanerie remains quiet and residential without appearing cut off or isolated in everyday life.
Gastronomy
The Fasanerie also remains rather restrained in terms of gastronomy - a few restaurants, bars and cafés. This underlines the residential orientation of the district: not over-staged, but solidly positioned for everyday life.
Leisure
A major advantage of the Fasanerie is its immediate recreational value - there are three bathing lakes in the vicinity: Fasaneriesee, Lerchenau Lake and Feldmoching Lake. The city of Munich also describes the Fasaneriesee as a lake with a circular path, sunbathing lawns and barbecue areas; it is located between Lerchenau Lake and Feldmoching Lake and is part of the Dreiseenplatte in the north of Munich.
