Weßling
Weßling (German pronunciation: [ˈvɛslɪŋ]) is a municipality in the district of Starnberg in Bavaria, Germany.
Weßling was first mentioned in the 13th century, when it was passed to Seefeld Castle. In 1810 it was recorded to consist of 37 farms and in 1877 to have a population of 230. Since, starting from the 19th century, it was visited by several painters and sculptors (e.g. Carl Schuch, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Wilhelm Trübner), the town is regarded by some as an artists' colony. In 1903, when Weßling had a population of 350, the construction of a railway from Munich to Herrsching led to a moderately increased influx of population around Lake Weßling. The town of Oberpfaffenhofen, which is now part of Weßling, gained some importance as an industrial and research location in 1936, when an airport was built there by the aircraft manufacturer Dornier. In 1972 and 1976 the municipalities of Hochstadt and Oberpfaffenhofen respectively were incorporated into Weßling.
Weßling is located within the Fünfseenland (lit. 'five lakes country'). The town completely encloses Lake Weßling, the smallest of the five lakes.
Weßling is divided into three main districts:
Weßling lies very close to the Autobahn (
). On weekends and holidays the town often experiences heavy traffic due to visitors from nearby Munich. A bypass, built in 2016 west of Weßling, did not improve these traffic issues.
Currently there are five regional bus lines (X910 921 923 947 955) connecting Weßling to the surrounding towns and cities.
The town has one train station served by the Munich S-Bahn (
), which runs from Herrsching to Munich airport.
An airport is located in the district of Oberpfaffenhofen. Even though this is the third largest civilian airport in Bavaria, it is not served by any airlines. Instead it is used for research and industrial purposes.
