History & character
From the Abbess to a Modern Residential Area
Elixhausen, first mentioned in 1000 as Ebidechsumhusa – House of the Abbess – has a long history closely linked to the Nonnberg Abbey. Originally, most farmers were subject to the abbey's feudal rule. With the first documented mention of the estate of Ursprung in 1122, Elixhausen developed into a significant place in the northern Flachgau. Over the centuries, the name was adjusted several times until it finally became Elixhausen. The Catholic parish, elevated in 1891, now has around 1,900 members, while the Evangelical community of Sachsenheim is supported by about 500 individuals. Today, the community has evolved into a quiet residential area with 3,183 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2026), characterized mainly by agriculture and a natural environment.

Real building heights (OpenStreetMap footprints with heights from the BEV laser scan), sun hours and shadows from sun position and geometry. How much of it reaches you also depends on orientation and windows. Terrain is included, from the official elevation model out to 12 km: a mountain to the south takes the winter sun just as the house opposite does. Where the sun only grazes a ridge, the figure remains an approximation. At the foot of the Mönchsberg and Kapuzinerberg this weighs heavily: in winter both sit at 25 to 28 degrees, higher than the sun ever climbs there (just under 19).
