Bundesnachrichtendienst in Pullach im Isartal, Intelligence agency complex in Pullach, Germany

The BND property in Pullach covers 68 hectares enclosed by a high wall, split by Heilmannstrasse into a western old section and an eastern new section, linked by a road tunnel and a pedestrian tunnel beneath the street. The western part was built 1936–1938 as the Reichssiedlung Rudolf Heß and includes the Präsidentenvilla, called Doktorhaus after Reinhard Gehlen's cover name Dr. Schneider. The eastern section holds sober utility buildings, including Haus 110, the former situation centre.

The Organisation Gehlen, predecessor of the BND, moved into the Heilmannstrasse site on 6 December 1947, which earned it the name Camp Nikolaus. The BND, founded on 1 April 1956, kept its headquarters here until the official move to Berlin on 8 February 2019. The western part had been built from 1936 to 1938 as the Reichssiedlung Rudolf Heß and also held the former Führerhauptquartier Siegfried.

The site was nicknamed "Camp Nikolaus" or "Objekt Nikolaus" because the Organisation Gehlen moved in on 6 December 1947, St Nicholas's Day. The first president, Reinhard Gehlen, used the service name "Dr. Schneider", so the president's villa was known as the "Doktorhaus". Until 1996 the entrance sign read "Behördenunterkunft" rather than naming the service.

The 68-hectare site is enclosed by a high wall and split by Heilmannstraße into a western and an eastern part, linked by a road tunnel and a pedestrian tunnel beneath the street. It stays closed to visitors; the BND keeps an outpost here, the Zentrum Technische Aufklärung, with about 1,000 staff. The perimeter wall and the gate on Heilmannstraße can be seen from the public road.

The president's villa was nicknamed "Doktorhaus" because the first BND president, Reinhard Gehlen, used the cover name "Dr. Schneider". The building also held a bunker, and the president kept a second bungalow with overnight accommodation on the newer eastern part of the grounds.
