The written history of Aubing begins with a document from the year 1010, but archaeological traces in the area of today's Munich district of Aubing go back further and suggest a continuous settlement since pre-Roman times. A terraced burial ground from the 5th to 7th century is of supra-regional importance.
In the aforementioned document dated April 16, 1010, King Henry II grants the Polling Abbey the ownership rights to Aubing. However, according to the documents, Aubing probably remained part of the Bavarian ducal estate, as Ludwig the Bavarian donated Aubing to Ettal Abbey in 1330 as part of the founding endowment. The Ettal rule lasted for almost 500 years until the process of secularization in Bavaria. When the independent municipality was formed in 1818, the former Hofmark Freiham was assigned to Aubing for the first time. The railroad connection in the second half of the 19th century marked the start of a period of strong population growth, which is continuing. Since the beginning of the 20th century, new districts have been established, including Neuaubing, Aubing-Ost, Am Westkreuz, and Freiham in the 21st century.
For centuries, Aubing was the most populous village west of Munich. The parish of Aubing included the neighboring villages to the east, from Allach to Laim. In neighboring Pasing, however, the population grew even faster after the construction of the railroad, so that it surpassed Aubing at the end of the 19th century. In 1942, Aubing was incorporated into Munich and constituted a borough in its own right until it was absorbed into the borough of Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied in 1992.
