Gräfelfing: bike tour to the Maisacher brewery

2020-09-07T15:21:19.773Z


From the brewing academy to the brewer: Those who cycle on mostly smaller roads from Graefelfing to Maisach can convince themselves of the local art of brewing after 36 mostly flat kilometers at a beer garden stop. And at the same time learn a lot about Mathias Kneißl, better known as Räuber Kneißl or "Bavarian Robin Hood".


From the brewing academy to the brewer: Those who cycle on mostly smaller roads from Graefelfing to Maisach can convince themselves of the local art of brewing after 36 mostly flat kilometers at a beer garden stop.

And at the same time learn a lot about Mathias Kneißl, better known as Räuber Kneißl or "Bavarian Robin Hood".

Gräfelfing - The Graefelfinger Doemens Academy has been training master brewers since 1993, in 2000 it was co-founder of the World Brewing Academy and in 2004 the first beer sommelier course began.

Once a year, the world of beer looks to Graefelfing, whenever almost 2,500 beers compete for the coveted European Beer Star Award.

The Maisacher brewery has also been sending beers to competitions since 2016.

In 2019 she won a silver star in the German-Style Kellerbier light category in Graefelfing.

The starting point of the tour is the Graefelfingen train station.

You drive down the Bahnhofstrasse to the Würm, on the Kirchweg past St. John the Baptist and continue on the Paul-Eipper-Weg over the Lindau motorway into the Paul-Diehl and the adjoining Pasinger Stadtpark.

In the Hermann-Hesse-Tunnel, which runs under the tracks to the west of the Pasing train station, Martin Blumöhr's "Tunnelblick" adds color.

In 2014 he realized his mural art project in public space along the entire length of the underpass: a 2.5-meter-wide and 90-meter-long ribbon that testifies to the architectural, political and cultural characteristics of the Munich district.

After the A99, it's going to be rural

North of the rails, the route leads west and into Marschnerstrasse, where two country-style villas, designed by August Exters at the end of the 19th century, are worth seeing.

At the end of the Alte Allee the development becomes looser and behind the bridge over the A99 it is almost rural, although you are still in the Munich city area.

After the A8, it goes again over the A99, then it's over for the time being with the motorway crossings.

The Tafernwirtschaft "Zum Haderecker", registered in the land register in 1897 as "Wirtshaus im Graßlfinger-Moos with the owner and innkeeper Andreas Haderecker", is already on Olchinger Grund and thus in the Fürstenfeldbruck district.

But you soon leave it again, change to the Dachau district, cross Feldgeding and finally Bergkirchen.

The ascent is short and steep, then the route becomes gently undulating again, passes the tiny Bibereck and leads through the somewhat larger Deutenhausen.

Between Deutenhausen and Kreuzholzhausen there is a picnic area with two benches, a table and, in clear weather, a magnificent view of Munich and the Alps.

But be careful: the benches are often occupied when you arrive.

Kreuzholzhausen northernmost point

Kreuzholzhausen is the northernmost point of the tour.

There is hardly any car traffic further south either.

In Thal you have reached the Fürstenfeldbruck district again.

It's not far: after Überacker comes Maisach, first mentioned in a document in 806.

The brewery, located in the center of town, was founded in 1556, 40 years after the Bavarian Purity Law was passed.

In 2016 Michael Schweinberger took over the company, which is equipped with steam engines from 1898 and 1920 as well as a brew kettle from 1901 and a grist mill from 1925.

One of the best-known beers is probably the Räuber Kneißl, a dark beer that won the International Craft Beer Award 2016. On the brewery premises is the Maisach Brewery, which has a quiet beer garden and has set up a small museum especially for Mathias Kneißl, who was executed for murder in 1902 Has.

In 2007, Marcus H. Rosenmüller filmed the last ten years of Mathias Kneißl, who was born in the Dachau hinterland in 1875.

In the Maisacher Museum, in addition to newspaper clippings from that time, you can see items of clothing that Mathias Kneißl is said to have worn and items of jewelery that he was accused of.

If you want, you can take the S3 from the Maisach train station to Pasing and from there cycle along the Würm back to Graefelfing or you can do without the train and cycle back completely, but this time on the direct route via Eichenau and Puchheim.
