Pullach, officially Pullach i. Isartal, is a municipality in the district of Munich in Bavaria in Germany. It is on the Isar Valley Railway and is served by the S 7 line of the Munich S-Bahn, at the Großhesselohe Isartalbahnhof, Pullach and Höllriegelskreuth railway stations.
The headquarters of the intelligence agency of the German government, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), was located in Pullach before the agency moved to Berlin in 2014. This made Pullach a metonym for the BND just as Langley is for the CIA.
Pullach sits on the western bank of the River Isar, just south of Munich.
On the opposite bank of the Isar, lies the municipality of Grünwald, with the municipality of Baierbrunn further south. The municipality is bordered to the north by Munich, specifically the suburbs of Solln and Harlaching. The Forstenrieder Park marks the western boundary.
The municipality of Pullach Im Isartal is divided into five separate wards: Gartenstadt, Großhesselohe, Isarbad, Höllriegelskreuth and Pullach.
The ward of Gartenstadt developed in the area between Höllriegelskreuth and Pullach, just west of the railway, during the 1920s. The dominant architecture of the area is terraced and detached homes in a more leafy surrounding. The street names typically reflect this type of environment, such as Ahornallee and Tannenstraße (Acorn Alley and Pine Street). Few of the original houses remain, one such original property can be found at 11, Josef-Heppner-Str.
Großhesselohe lies to the north of the municipality, between the city suburb of Solln and the River Isar. The renowned Waldwirtschaft (Pullach)(woodland inn) sits on the south east edge of the municipality, on the high bank above the River Isar. There is already mention of an estate here from 776. This was acquired in 1301 by the Hospital of the Holy Spirit and was then run by the City of Munich from 1330. The idyllic location, not to mention the locally brewed beer, proved a great draw for the populace of Munich. The operation became part of the Spaten Brewery in 1930.
