Pullach

The renowned Waldwirtschaft inn sits on the south east edge of the municipality, on the high bank above the River Isar.

The idyllic location, not to mention the locally brewed beer, proved a great draw for the populace of Munich.

The ward of Pullach is at the heart of the municipality and it is here that you will find the town hall, the Church of the Holy Spirit, as well as cafés and a few inns and taverns.

Here also are the buildings and land of the German Intelligence Service, which stretch out east of the railway to the Isar and are dissected into two halves by Heilmannstraße.

Burial mounds found close to the banks of the river in Höllriegelskreuth attest to the existence of a settlement during the Celtic period.

The area is first mentioned when Tassilo III, Duke of Bavaria, gave the estate of Hesinlohe to Schäftlarn Abbey in 776.

A church, built in Pullach in 806 (other sources suggest 804) is included in the list of ownership drafted for Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria in 1060.

Großhesselohe was first mentioned in a declaration by Duke Tassilo III when the area was bequeathed to the newly founded Tegernsee Abbey.

Fritz Woellner's family, including his new born son, Félix, and his elderly widowed mother, were forced to move into Hotel Bittman.

[7] Although the Woellner family were themselves Protestants, they donated land and monies from earlier land-sales to the Roman Catholic Holy Trinity Foundation, which later built a church in 1952.

The Municipality of Pullach recognized Fritz Woellner as an honorary citizen and renamed the square in front of the train station Woellnerplatz in his honour.

The visitors would promenade en masse along the Isar to the various beer gardens of the Waldwirtschaft inn in Großhesselohe, the Rabenwirt (Raven Tavern) in the local centre, which had at least 5,000 seats, as well as the Bürgerbräu.

Several villas of this period remain, together with Schwaneck Castle [de], which was built by Ludwig von Schwanthaler and is now mainly used as a youth hostel.

During the period of Nazi Germany, Pullach was of importance due to the Reichssiedlung Rudolf Heß [de], a kind of housing estate for the Party elite, and the location of the Führer Headquarters on the land now used by the BND.

It is made up of three parts: The colours of white and blue represent the continued allegiance of the municipality to the Bavarian State (History of Bavaria).

The following partnerships exist: Schools in the community include:[8] The town's association football club, SV Pullach, formed in 1946, experienced its greatest success in 2013, when it won promotion to the Bayernliga for the first time.
