Weßling
Weßling is a municipality in the district of Starnberg in Bavaria, Germany. History Weßling was first mentioned in the 13th century, when it was passed to Seefeld Castle. In 1810 it was recorded to consist of 37 farms and in 1877 to have a population of 230. Since, starting from the 19th century, it was visited by several painters and sculptors (e.g. Carl Schuch, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Wilhelm Trübner), the town is regarded by some as an artists' colony. In 1903, when Weßling had a population of 350, the construction of a railway from Munich to Herrsching led to a moderately increased influx of population around Lake Weßling. The town of Oberpfaffenhofen, which is now part of Weßling, gained some importance as an industrial and research location in 1936, when an airport was built there by the aircraft manufacturer Dornier. In 1972 and 1976 the municipalities of Hochstadt and Oberpfaffenhofen respectively were incorporated into Weßling. Geography Weßling is located ...

Weßlinger See
The Weßlinger See ( 'Lake Weßling') is the smallest lake in the Fünfseenland ( 'five lakes country') in Upper Bavaria. It is completely enclosed by the municipality of Weßling. Overview Lake Weßling is a remnant of a kettle hole created during the Würm glaciation. It has no natural tributary, and due to the use of fertilizers in the catchment area it was close to becoming hypoxic in the 20th century. To counter this problem an oxygen pump was installed in the middle of the lake in the 1970s, which has significantly improved the ecologic balance. Due to its small size and lack of a natural tributary, regionally it is usually one of the warmest lakes in summer and the first lake to freeze over in winter. Especially in summer this means the lake attracts numerous visitors from the Munich Metropolitan Region. Starting in the 19th century, the scenic setting within the Bavarian Alpine Foreland has also attracted several painters and sculptors (e.g. Carl Schuch, Pierre-Auguste R ...

Carl Schuch
Carl Eduard Schuch (30 September 1846 – 13 September 1903) was an Austrian painter, born in Vienna, who spent most of his lifetime outside Austria, in Germany, Italy and France.
