The village of Riem looks back on a 1,200 year history, with archaeological finds dating to 700 BC. It is believed the village was founded by a Franconian knight around 700 AD.
Riem’s picturesque charm is heightened by listed buildings including St. Martin’s Church (our hotel’s namesake, the oldest church in the Trudering-Riem district, which is mentioned in documents dating from 1183), lovingly restored nineteenth century farmhouses and inns, and Munich Racecourse with remnants of its original buildings dating back to 1897.
The historic salt road from Reichenhall to Augsburg passed straight through it, carrying thousands of vehicles each day.
In 1644 the Princely House of Thurn and Taxis established an important post office in Riem.
From 1939 to 1992 it was also home to Munich-Riem Airport, a key international hub in southern Germany.
Interesting facts about the Classik Hotel Martinshof
Consistently personal – always unique
Our hotel’s address honours a family that played a pivotal role in Riem’s history. From 1805, back when the pretty village had just 14 other houses, it was the seat of the Empl family.
The plot surrounding the Empl’s farm, which was also home to a potato distillery, grew over the years as the family purchased land for arable farming and husbandry.
The Empls were also active participants in village life; they donated the wooden carving in nearby St. Martin’s Church and produced two mayors. The family was forced to give up the majority of its land to the former airport.
The Empl’s stables later hosted the racehorses that competed at the busy racecourse, while jockeys and stable hands stayed at the farm. The farmhouse suffered little damage during the Second World War.
After the war, Albrecht August Haselbach, of the well-known brewing family from Namslau, purchased the farm. The successful entrepreneur, who was interested in music and art, built a brewery that operated on the site until 1979. Today, the listed former brewery is the main building of our hotel. The rooms of the Landhotel Martinshof reflect the cultural heritage of its Bavarian surroundings, seamlessly combining tradition with modernity.
All the rooms in the main building have a luxurious country feel, while the business and family rooms in the adjacent wing offer cosy comfort and modern design.
Our friendly boutique hotel combines Bavarian hospitality and Munich flair for a perfect holiday!
