Unterhaching: Geothermal Energy Pioneer South of Munich
Unterhaching lies directly south of Munich in the Landkreis Muenchen of Bayern, with about 20,850 inhabitants. The municipality made headlines in 2007 when it became one of the first in Germany to use deep geothermal energy for both district heating and electricity generation, tapping hot water at over 3,000 metres depth. The Kubiz cultural centre and the Sportpark Unterhaching, home of SpVgg Unterhaching football club, are the main public facilities.
Munich's city centre is about 10 kilometres north by U-Bahn and S-Bahn. Ottobrunn borders to the east. Taufkirchen lies to the south. The flat Muenchner Schotterebene, a gravel plain deposited by glaciers, underlies the area.
