Long driveways, houses set back, and a castle on the Würm.
Locksmith in Obermenzing
Obermenzing lies northwest of Pasing on both banks of the Würm. It is one of the greenest and least dense parts of Munich — almost entirely houses with gardens, on plots large enough that many of them are not visible from the road.
Schloss Blutenburg, a late-medieval moated castle with a chapel, sits at its western edge and is the landmark everyone navigates by.
What it costs in Obermenzing
Obermenzing is in one of the Munich zones, which means travel is fully included in the fixed price — neither as a flat rate nor by the kilometre. What decides the price is which kind of opening it is and, for a door that has simply latched shut, what time it is.

Where Obermenzing is
Obermenzing sits northwest of Pasing, straddling the Würm. Schloss Blutenburg with its chapel marks the western edge; the Verdistraße runs through as the main axis, with the Pippinger Straße and the Menzinger Straße heading towards Nymphenburg. The old village centre gathers around the church of St. Georg. Allach-Untermenzing adjoins to the north, Pasing to the south, the Nymphenburg palace park to the east, and the city boundary towards Gräfelfing to the west. The district is large in area and small in population, which is exactly the combination that makes addresses here harder to find than the map suggests.
What the buildings are like

Overwhelmingly detached and semi-detached houses on large plots, a considerable share from the 1920s to the 1960s, with individual villas and newer houses on subdivided plots. Around the old centre at St. Georg the building is small-scale and partly of rural origin. Apartment buildings are the exception. Practically every property has a garage or carport, a garden gate and often a separate outside cellar stair — several locks per address, replaced at different times and therefore of varying age. Driveways are frequently long, and the front door may be some distance from the street.
Getting to you
Obermenzing is reached by the Verdistraße, the Pippinger Straße and the motorway to the west. Parking is unproblematic and it is usually possible to stop at the entrance to the property. The determining factor here is not traffic but finding the address: plots are large, houses are set back, hedges are tall, and house numbers are frequently unreadable from the road after dark. A description of the gate or the driveway — which side, what it looks like, whether a light is on — is worth more than any other information you can give us.
What we are usually called for in Obermenzing
- Front doors of detached houses with long driveways
- Garage doors and carports with a side entrance
- Garden gates and second entrances to the property
- Separate outside cellar stairs and garden buildings
- Older houses in the village centre at St. Georg with conventional locking

Questions from Obermenzing
The house is not visible from the road. How will you find it?
By asking you rather than guessing, which is why we ask more here than elsewhere. Give the house number and then describe the entrance: which side of the road, what the gate looks like, whether the drive is shared, whether there is a light on. In Obermenzing plots are large and hedges are tall, and house numbers frequently cannot be read from a moving vehicle at night. A photograph of the gate on WhatsApp settles it entirely.
I have a front door, a garage and a garden gate, all with different keys. Can that be simplified?
Yes, and on a property like this it usually should be. Matching the cylinders so one key opens all three is straightforward planned work — and it can be arranged so a cleaner or gardener holds a key that opens only part of it. The cylinders have to match in length as well as in system, so it starts with measuring rather than ordering. Book it during business hours and it costs considerably less than an emergency call-out.
What is worth doing for security on a detached house here?
Less than most people are sold, and in a different order. Start with a protective escutcheon over the cylinder and make sure the cylinder does not stand proud of the fitting — together those close the most common forced entry and cost a fraction of a high-grade cylinder. Then hinge-side pins. On a detached house it is also worth looking at the terrace door and ground-floor windows, which are levered far more often than front doors are forced. The Munich police run a free advice service, and we mention them because they have nothing to sell you.

- What does a locksmith cost in Munich? It depends on the situation, the time and the driving distance. You get the final figure in writing before work starts. Full answer
- Is travel included in the price? Inside Munich, yes. Beyond it, 1.50 € for every kilometre of the whole journey from our premises — not just the part outside the city. Full answer
