Pullach relies on cycle path: expropriation of Isar Valley Railway route decided!
The plans for a cycle path from Pullach to Munich are finally gaining momentum and are generating a lot of interest among local residents. The community has been pursuing the idea of converting the old route of the Isar Valley Railway into an attractive cycle path for years. A decisive step has now been taken with the expropriation notice from the Munich district office, which is intended to pave the way for the realization of the cycle path connection. Loud sueddeutsche.de This decision is an important milestone victory for the mayor of Pullach, Susanna Thousandfreund (Greens), who sees progress in the long-term planning.
The newly planned cycle path should make it possible to reach Munich city center from Pullach in around half an hour. The existing cycle path in Thalkirchen currently ends at the city limits at Heinrich-Vogl-Straße. The municipality of Pullach has already made a fundamental decision in 2014 to further expand the cycle path to Hilariastrasse. The anticipation in the community is palpable, as the new connection will not only increase traffic safety, but also improve the infrastructure for school and work routes.
Background of the expropriation
The expropriation notice concerns a private property of approximately 677 square meters, for which the municipality made a purchase offer in 2014, but received no response. She therefore applied for the expropriation of this section in order to advance the planning. According to the information from pullach.de This application was submitted on November 27, 2014 and the decision was now issued on October 9, 2025.
The mayor expects that the property owner Urs Peter Brunner will file a lawsuit, but is optimistic that the municipality will ultimately be successful. This expropriation is considered a last resort and must be carried out for the public good in accordance with Article 14 Paragraph 3 of the Basic Law. The scope for legally regulated implementation and the sometimes long planning periods for such projects should not be underestimated, as the challenges in expanding the cycling infrastructure show.
Mainly for safety
The planned cycle path has several advantages, not least the direct connection between Pullach and Munich. This could not only increase road safety, but also increase its attractiveness for recreational drivers. Cycling commuters and families will benefit from this new infrastructure. This is also reflected in the current trends to improve cycling infrastructure in many cities, as the analysis by Agora transport transition clarified.
