Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn (German pronunciation:[høːənˈkɪʁçn̩ˈziːɡɐtsˌbʁʊn]) is a municipality inUpper Bavaria, situated south ofMunich. It is one of the municipalities with the longest names in Germany, the longest beingHellschen-Heringsand-Unterschaar.
Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn lies 20 kilometers south-east ofMunich.
Höhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn is a combination of two villages that were once independent, as can be seen on old maps. (see:BayernAtlas) Höhenkirchen and Siegertsbrunn were first mentioned in 1020 and 1048 respectively. Höhenkirchen was known as Marchwartsbrunn until around the 12th century, named after its founders Marchwart and Sigoho. The two names ending in -brunn (which meanswell in German) have to do with the deep wells, up to 30 metres deep, that were dug to make it possible for people to live there.[3]
With the arrival of a railway connection in 1904, industry and commerce in Höhenkirchen grew rapidly until the 1960s. The population continued to grow after 1945 due to theexpulsion of Germans to other European countries after the Second World War.[3]
The two villages were amalgamated into their present form in 1978.[3]
In 1972, theHöhenkirchen-Siegertsbrunn station was erected, connecting the two villages to theMunich-Giesing–Kreuzstraße line of theMunich S-Bahn.[3]
The municipality has a council of 24 people plus the mayor. The deputy mayor (or vice-mayor) is also a member of the council. The council usually meets once a month.Municipal elections in Bavaria are held every six years, with the current term running until from 2020 to 2026.[4]
The current mayor is Mindy Konwitschny of the SPD and her deputy is Luitgart Dittmann-Chylla of the Green Party.[4]
