Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm

Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm is best known within Bavaria for its role in the Hallertau hop-growing region, the world’s largest contiguous hop-growing area. The town follows the Ilm River through Upper Bavaria, between Munich and Ingolstadt, and its broad Hauptplatz serves as the civic centre. Hops are more than a crop here: Hallertau cultivation and trading traditions have long informed local farming, commerce and Bavaria’s brewing culture. In the centre, the parish church of St John the Baptist and the town hall give the square a historic focal point, while markets, cafés and local shops keep the county town lively year-round.
