Discover Pullach i.Isartal: Culture, History and the Isar High Bank

Pullach i.Isartal can be explored through several distinct interests: culture at the Bürgerhaus, a townscape shaped by history, and walks along the Isar high bank. When choosing accommodation, it helps to first decide what you want to focus on during your stay. Should culture set the pace, should local history take centre stage, or should outdoor activity be part of the experience? Pullach offers concrete starting points for these interests rather than a single prescribed itinerary.

Culture at the Bürgerhaus Pullach

The Bürgerhaus Pullach is the cultural and social centre of the municipality of Pullach and the south of Munich. The building houses a theatre and concert hall with seating for 440 people. Its cultural programme includes theatre, classical music, cabaret and jazz. This brings together a range of stage and music genres: you can choose according to the type of event that interests you, rather than reducing culture to a single format. If a particular evening matters to your travel plans, check the current programme, as individual events change.

A landmark with a long local history

Pullach’s history is also reflected in its townscape. The old Church of the Holy Spirit is Pullach’s landmark and also the oldest building in the municipality. Perched on the edge of the Isar high bank, it has shaped the townscape since the 15th century. Here, a single building connects a specific place with a long historical timeline. This offers a different focus from the Bürgerhaus’s current cultural programme: if you are more interested in local history and a townscape shaped by its oldest building, the church is an important point of reference.

Walks and the Kneipp facility

The Josef-Breher-Weg along the high bank of the Isar Valley is recommended for walks through Pullach. This offers a specific way to include outdoor activity in your plans for your stay. Another local feature, of a different kind, is the Kneipp facility at Hochleite on the Josef-Breher-Weg. It was built in 1973 and has a water-treading pool and an arm-immersion fountain. The year it was built adds a date to the area’s history; the pool and fountain identify two separate features of the facility. The walk and the Kneipp facility therefore offer different highlights: the path is recommended for a walk, while the facility features two water areas.

Choosing where to stay and your location

The municipality has S-Bahn stations at Großhesselohe, Pullach and Höllriegelskreuth. These three names provide additional local reference points when considering Pullach as a place to stay. If you plan to use the S-Bahn, check the current timetable for your travel dates. You can then compare accommodation options against your own priorities, without combining culture, local history and outdoor activity into a single itinerary. If members of your travel group have different preferences, you can weigh these interests separately: an interest in stage performances leads to different considerations than whether you want to include a walk in your stay.
