Ottobrunn

Ottobrunn (German: [ɔtoˈbʁʊn] ⓘ) is a municipality southeast of Munich, Bavaria, Germany, founded in 1955.

Ottobrunn is also the German Headquarters of Airbus Defense and Space (former European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS)), with the majority of Airbus DS grounds situated in the neighbouring community of Taufkirchen.

The community centre was named after the German-Italian composer Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari who lived in Ottobrunn between 1915 and 1931.

There is a memorial Doric order column, called the Ottosäule, made by the chiseler Anton Ripfel, commemorating the day in 1832 when Otto of Greece traveled past the present community area on his way to become king of Greece.

The column was moved, however, 9 m (30 ft) southwest, to make room for widening the Rosenheimer Landstrasse.
