The municipality is bordered to the north by Munich, specifically the suburbs of Solln and Harlaching. The marks the western boundary. ==Municipality wards== The municipality of Pullach im Isartal is divided into five separate wards: Gartenstadt, Großhesselohe, Isarbad, Höllriegelskreuth and Pullach. ===Gartenstadt=== 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 (Acorn Alley) and Tannenstraße (Pine Street). Few of the original houses remain, one such original property can be found at 11, Josef-Heppner-Str. ===Isarbad=== This area has a few houses, the remains of a lido and spa (at the foot of the high bank next to the Isar canal), the Isar hydroelectric station and a scattering of other buildings. It is often not considered an independent ward. ===Pullach=== 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. On the high bank above the Isar, is , now a youth training and activity centre, as well as a youth hostel. 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. ==History== Burial mounds found close to the banks of the river in Höllriegelskreuth attest to the existence of a settlement during the Celtic period. The Roman road between Augsburg and Salzburg crosses the deep Isar valley just south of Pullach. 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. Until the separation of church and state in Bavaria in 1808, the histories of Pullach and Großhesselohe had been basically separate. ===Pullach=== Pullach was originally an agricultural municipality. First written mention of a church here is to be found in the Konrad Register of 1315, which identifies it as a daughter church of Thalkirchen. The area only had about 250 inhabitants¹ at the end of the 15th century, when the old church was built. The area was clearly not wealthy as the construction was paid for by a number of wealthy patrons from Munich. The population remained around the 200 mark until the middle of the 19th century, when the population suddenly expanded due to industrialization. ==Politics== ===Mayor=== Susanna Tausendfreund (Alliance '90/The Greens) was voted in as First Mayor for the municipality. She took over from her predecessor, Jürgen Westenthanner (Christian Social Union in Bavaria) in 2014. ===Partner towns=== The following partnerships exist: Pauillac in France since 1964. The region of Baryshivka ( ) and the city of Berezan ( ) in Ukraine since 1990. Falkensee in Germany. ==Sport== The town's association football club, SV Pullach, formed in 1946¹, experienced its greatest success in 2013, when it won promotion to the Bayernliga for the first time. Racing driver Sophia Flörsch is based in Pullach. ==References==
