Alte Heilig-Geist-Kirche, Late Gothic parish church in Pullach, Germany.

The Alte Heilig-Geist-Kirche is a late Gothic church of the late 15th century at Kirchplatz 3 in Pullach, built of stone with a rectangular nave and a three-sided closed choir under a gabled roof. Its tower rises in the southwest corner, ending above four triangular gables in an octagonal spire topped by a baroque onion dome with cross and globe. Inside, a deep choir as wide as the nave is covered by star vaults in three bays, lit by seven pointed-arch windows.

The church is dated to the late 15th century (Dehio), though documentary proof is lacking. A 1472 princely letter of permission and a 1469 payment by Balthasar Pötschner for a window and shield suggest construction around that time. The painted vault shields point to Duke Sigismund of Bavaria-Munich and Munich patrician donors; the parish then counted about 250 inhabitants.

The church is dedicated to the Holy Spirit, and its patronal feast is Pentecost. In the vault keystones painted reliefs show the Gnadenstuhl and three coats of arms: Bavaria-Munich, the Munich city arms with the Münchner Kindl, and the Pötschner family arms with a salt barrel on a three-peaked hill. A 1469 entry in Balthasar Pötschner's account book records a glass window and a shield above it near the high altar, costing four Rhenish guilders.

The church is located centrally at Kirchplatz and is easily recognizable from outside by its tower. Visitors should keep in mind that services happen at set times and access may depend on this schedule.

The painted keystones on the vault ribs show the Gnadenstuhl, the arms of Bavaria-Munich, the Munich city arms with the Münchner Kindl, and the arms of the Pötschner family, whose salt barrel recalls their fortune from the salt trade. Balthasar Pötschner's 1469 account book records a glass window and a shield in the vault costing four Rhenish guilders.
