The following map and the message to Phil Schlarb from Robert Schlarb is included here with the kind permission of Phil.

Dear Phil,

I was referred to you by my brother, Henry Schlarb of Ottawa Canada.  He tells me you are planning a trip to Germany this coming summer and would like to visit Schlarbhofen.  As you can see I am including a map to help you get there since the place is not included in most maps.

Here is how to get there (from Munich/München):

Follow the A8 (Autobahn München - Salzburg) until the exit Bad Aibling and go about one kilometer to the village of Pullach where you reach the provincial highway from Munich to Rosenheim. Here you head east (turn left) in the direction of Kolbermoor and Rosenheim and keep going about three or four kilometers. Here comes the difficult part: On your right you will see basically farms and fields with the mountains in the background. After one such field you should come across a used car lot on the right hand side and you may notice a small sign saying "Schlarbhofen". This is Schlarbhofenerstrasse and you turn right here and continue on straight ahead for about one kilometer. Once you reach a cluster of buildings you are there.

I don't know what you have heard up to now, but don't expect a whole lot. The village is basically a former farming settlement. Now it houses a number of people who commute to Rosenheim and Munich for work. If you need further information and would like to announce you are coming, get in touch with my cousin Werner und Sylvia Stieb.

Feel free to get in touch with me any time. I live in Austria near Vienna, about a four hour drive from Schlarbhofen and know about as much about the family history as anyone alive.
