Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm: Hallertau Hop Country and Kreisstadt Between Munich and Ingolstadt
Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm sits in the Hallertau, the world's largest contiguous hop-growing region. Hop fields stretch across the gently rolling terrain in every direction, and the annual hop harvest in late summer defines the agricultural calendar. The town has roughly 23,200 inhabitants and serves as the administrative seat of the Pfaffenhofen district in Bayern. The Ilm river flows through the centre, and the town's elevated Hauptplatz features painted facades and a Mariensaeule column.
Munich is about 50 kilometres south. Ingolstadt lies roughly 30 kilometres north. Schrobenhausen, the asparagus town, is to the northeast. The Hallertau hops supply breweries across Germany and beyond, and several local firms specialise in hop processing and trade. Pfaffenhofen has won the Entente Florale competition, reflecting well-maintained public green spaces.
