A beautiful path and close to the water. The Würm, that is. There's always something to see. 😉

As already mentioned, chaplain Josef Mühlhauser was the main initiator of the church construction. He was ordained a priest in 1952 at the age of 34 as a late vocation. His first position was that of chaplain in the parish of Peter and Paul in Feldmoching. At that time, the town of Karlsfeld also belonged to this parish. Mühlhauser, together with Mayor Eichinger, campaigned vehemently for the church to be built in Karlsfeld rather than Ludwigsfeld. Construction began on June 16, 1952. Five weeks later, on July 20, 1952, Auxiliary Bishop Dr. Scharnagl laid the foundation stone. The roof truss was already in place in August 19). Construction (costing 220,342 DM) progressed quickly. It only took half a year. The driving force behind this was also chaplain Mühlhauser, who also actively helped with the construction work. Local historian Ilse Oberbauer can tell several anecdotes about this: 11) "Mühlhauser always rode through the community on his old motorcycle, wearing an old Wehrmacht coat. Once he wanted to give the construction workers up on the scaffolding a beer to refresh themselves. It ended with the chaplain floating up on a wooden pallet with the beer carrier on a pulley." When the bells were delivered, one of the helpers lost his strength while pulling them up and the rope slipped through his hands. Mühlhauser rushed forward with all his body effort and hung on the pulley with all his weight so that the bell would not fall down." On the first Sunday of Advent, November 28, 1952, the priest of Feldmoching, who was still responsible for Karlsfeld at the time, spiritual advisor Jakob Sturm, celebrated the first service in St. Anna's Church. 19) On April 26, 1953, Cardinal Wendel consecrated the church. Relics of the catacomb saints Victor and Martial were enclosed in the altar.04) The patronage of St. Anna was taken over by the Ludl Chapel, which had served as a replacement church for many decades.

At this point, most of the water is diverted from the Würm and now flows in the Würm Canal to Schleissheim in order to supply the canals in the palace park with sufficient water. The Würm Canal is thus part of the north Munich canal system that connects the Wittelsbach residences in Schleißheim, Dachau and Nymphenburg via landscaped waterways.
