Climate

Fürstenfeldbruck can - as virtually all of Bavaria ( excluding high mountain areas ) - are attributed to the Central European transitional climate. Thus, although occur weather extremes of the continental climate rather rare, but is to observe that the winters are often stricter than in West Germany. Also usually falls more snow than in many other German territories. One reason for this is the high altitude of over 500 meters above sea level. In the summer, it can often be hotter than, for example, on the North Sea coast, as the cooling effect of missing a large body of water. Other significant weather- determining factors are the Alps as a Central European and the Danube as regional weather sheaths. Thanks to this arrangement, the weather is relatively changeable. The foehn brings all the year round from the south irregularly warm, dry air flows to Fuerstenfeldbruck. The micro-climate of the city is partly determined by the Amper.

History

The name Fürstenfeldbruck is the baying of the name " Fürstenfeld " and " Bruck ".

The name part " Fürstenfeld " ( box of Prince ) indicates that this corridor formerly belonged to the possession of the Wittelsbach family. There, the Cistercian Monastery Fürstenfeld was founded in 1263. see also Postal Engelberg, Postal Point counter

The settlement " Bruck " in the immediate vicinity of the monastery was already developed at the local Amper transition. For the crossing of the bridge leading to the - at that time a very important - part salt road, raised his family of counter- pointer on behalf of the Guelph inches.

This customs station and a post office was founded there grew a settlement, which was first referred to in 1306 as a market. 1340 acquired the monastery manorial and village court about the market. 1425 also went the last ownership of the counter pointers over to the monastery. 1440 was the Leonhardskirche be ordained in Bruck. 1569 for the first time Brucker post office was called. End of the 17th century the monastery Fürstenfeld in baroque style was built.

1803, the monastery was secularized and very slowly a middle-class self-government developed. Since 1873, Bruck can be reached by train (connection to the railway line from Munich to Lindau). Especially the better accessibility for the Munich led to an upsurge Brucks as a destination. Popular in this respect were ( salvation ) bath in the Amper, enjoyment of nature around the market ( especially those artists among these are highlighted, the painting explored the environment ) and the sledding in the winter. Under the electron pioneer and father of the German Museum Oskar von Miller ( whose father, the ore caster Ferdinand von Miller was a native of Bruck ) was 1892, the first municipal power station in Bavaria to the grid.

Different spellings of the market Bruck by various authorities forced the government to set a single name: It reads since August 6, 1908 " Fürstenfeldbruck ".

It was only on 30 September 1935, the "market" for the city was charged. 1936, the airbase Fürstenfeldbruck for the Luftwaffe ( Wehrmacht ) was completed. In April 1945, occupied the city of U.S. troops.

With the connection to the Munich S-Bahn in 1972 Fürstenfeldbruck gained further importance and the population increased rapidly. In the same year - during the Olympics - failed the liberation of Israeli Olympic athletes from the violence of Palestinian terrorists on the site of the military Horst (see kidnapping of Munich). Since 1978, include in the course of municipal reform in Bavaria also Aich, hare heath, Lindachstraße, Neulindach, Pfaffing and Puch Fürstenfeldbruck.

The county now has over 180,000 inhabitants and the eastern areas of the county are partially grown very close to the city of Munich. The large district Germering near Munich, which belongs to the same district, now has more inhabitants than Fürstenfeldbruck. On 1 January 2006 Fürstenfeldbruck was also raised to the district town.

An important topic of discussion of urban development already in the 20th century and then in the first decade of the new millennium was the development of the " parlor " of Bruck (of the Amper to the New City Hall) in close connection with the development of road transport - leads but the main road B2 directly through the center. After a long discussion focusing found on the so-called " dyke ridge route " instead, on the through traffic should bypass the affected area to the east and with a new Amper crossing. After a referendum against the dike ridge line had failed, the citizens voted 27 September 2009 but then a majority against circumvention.

Transport policy, also important is the timing of the S4, which, in contrast to other lines only runs in 20 -minute intervals in spite of high utilization. Against the shortcut substantial improvements to the ( uncertain ) realization of the second S- Bahn route resistance from government and civil society stirs in the region.

Coat of arms

Because of the long, depending on the Fürstenfeld monastery an independent Brucker coat of arms was relatively late. The first coat of arms ceremony took place in 1813. The current coat of arms shows in chief, the famous Bavarian diamonds, including red ground before a bridge, which is adorned with a golden cross. So the coat of arms combines the Christian ( monastic ) traditions of the place with the mercantile bourgeois tradition of the bridge on the trade route.
