The Munich-Giesing–Kreuzstraße railway is a single-track, electrified line on the southern edge of Munich in the German state of Bavaria.
The section of line from Munich East up to this point is one of the few in Germany that has traffic running on the left.
After crossing the Munich ring road and federal highway B 471, the line reaches Hohenbrunn station.
[2] The municipalities of Peiß, Helfendorf, Egmating, Siegertsbrunn, Hohenbrunn, Höhenkirchen, Brunnthal and Oberpframmern sought the construction of a railway from 1892.
There was also disagreement over the location of the station in Dürrnhaar (the westernmost village of Faistenhaar wanted to see the route run further west) and the railhead in Aying.
A train with several celebrities (including the Minister of Transport) made a trial run on the line on 28 May 1904 and it was opened shortly thereafter on 5 June.
[3][4] On 30 September 1973, these temporary services were abandoned and the S-Bahn was extended from Hohenbrunn to Kreuzstraße.
