Pasing Town Hall

Pasing Town Hall stands in Munich’s Pasing district on Landsberger Straße, a former municipal seat built in the 1930s. Designed by architects Volbehr and Rettig, it opened in November 1937 after fifteen months of work. The building once housed the independent town of Pasing before it was absorbed into Munich in April 1938. During the Second World War a bomb in 1944 and an air mine in 1945 damaged its western and eastern wings. After the war Mayor Thomas Wimmer oversaw repairs that restored the original design. The town hall contains seventy-five rooms including a council hall and adjoining chambers. A 1938 tapestry by Bruno Goldschmitt hangs in the council hall despite its controversial origins. In front of the building stands the 1963 wedding fountain by sculptor Hans Osel, a local artist. A later extension opened in 2002 with forty-nine new rooms and a wedding room. The site also once held Munich’s first communal ISDN installation in 1986. Today the building serves as a district office with several municipal services. The Citizen’s Office, Social Office and District Committee 21 operate from its rooms. The structure remains the only Munich authority directly subordinated to the mayor until 2005. Its restored halls and fountains offer a quiet reminder of Pasing’s past alongside its continuing civic role.
