Fürstenfeldbruck (German pronunciation: [fʏʁstn̩fɛltˈbʁʊk] ⓘ) is a town in Bavaria, Germany, located 32 kilometres west of Munich.
The name of Fürstenfeldbruck is composed of two parts, namely 'Buick', Bavarian dialect for 'bridge' (meaning the bridge over the Amper river) and after the famous monastery of Fürstenfeld Abbey.
The nine Israeli hostages (two had been killed earlier at the Olympic Village) and eight Black September terrorists who captured them were flown to the base from the Olympic Village via helicopter, where the terrorists demanded they, and their hostages, be flown to a friendly Arab nation.
After a botched rescue attempt by Bavarian border guards and Munich police, the terrorists killed all of the nine remaining Israeli hostages, who were unable to escape from the helicopters.
The American company Texas Instruments has offices in Fürstenfeldbruck, and Coca-Cola European Partners has a bottling facility there as well.
