The Villenkolonie Pasing II is a single-family home colony in Munich-Pasing. It was built according to the model of a garden town.
Munich is the capital and most populous city of Bavaria, the second most populous German federal state. With a population of around 1.5 million, it is the third-largest city in Germany, after Berlin and Hamburg, as well as the 12th-largest city in the European Union. The city's metropolitan region is home to 6 million people. Straddling the banks of the River Isar north of the Bavarian Alps, it is the seat of the Bavarian administrative region of Upper Bavaria, while being the most densely populated municipality in Germany. Munich is the second-largest city in the Bavarian dialect area, after the Austrian capital of Vienna.
Pasing is a district in the city of Munich, Germany, and part of the borough Pasing-Obermenzing.
The garden city movement is a method of urban planning in which self-contained communities are surrounded by "greenbelts", containing proportionate areas of residences, industry, and agriculture. The idea was initiated in 1898 by Sir Ebenezer Howard in the United Kingdom and aims to capture the primary benefits of a countryside environment and a city environment while avoiding the disadvantages presented by both.
The idea of the Villenkolonie Pasing II, west of the Würm river, also came from August Exter, but he failed to execute the plan. In 1897, Exter gave up his construction business and gradually withdrew himself from architectural activity. Contrary to the widely assumed rumors that Exter also built the Villenkolonie Pasing II, the undeveloped property became the property of the Terraingesellschaft Neu-Westend AG in 1899. The highest bidder was Lazard Speyer-Ellissen, a Frankfurt-based bank led by Georg Speyer. The development of the site was carried out by the Neu-Westend AG. Extern's debts to the city of Pasing were taken over by the royal bank branch. Until 1900, 90 houses were built, but then the construction progress stagnated. In 1929, there were 106 houses under construction for several hundreds of first inquiries.
The Würm is a river in Bavaria, Germany, right tributary of the Amper. The length of the river is 39.8 kilometres (24.7 mi), or 76.3 kilometres (47.4 mi) including the Steinbach, the main feed of Lake Starnberg. It drains the overflow from Lake Starnberg and flows swiftly through the villages of Gauting, Krailling, Planegg, Gräfelfing and Lochham as well as part of Munich before joining, near Dachau, the Amper, which soon afterwards flows into the Isar and eventually flowing into the Danube. Although the Würm is not a very large river, it is well known as it gave its name to the Würm glaciation.
Frankfurt is a metropolis and the largest city of the German federal state of Hesse, and its 746,878 (2017) inhabitants make it the fifth-largest city of Germany after Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, and Cologne. On the River Main, it forms a continuous conurbation with the neighbouring city of Offenbach am Main, and its urban area has a population of 2.3 million. The city is at the centre of the larger Rhine-Main Metropolitan Region, which has a population of 5.5 million and is Germany's second-largest metropolitan region after the Rhine-Ruhr Region. Since the enlargement of the European Union in 2013, the geographic centre of the EU is about 40 km (25 mi) to the east of Frankfurt's central business district. Like France and Franconia, the city is named after the Franks. Frankfurt is the largest city in the Rhine Franconian dialect area.
The settlement with numerous historically listed buildings [1] extends today from the railway line in the south and west to the river Würm in the east and the Bergsonstraße to the north.
