Hellabrunn (Hellenbrun, Hellenprun, Hellbronn, Hellbronn) was the name of a single estate belonging to the former municipality of Giesing, which was incorporated into the Bavarian capital Munich on 1 October 1854. The single farm was situated just south of Siebenbrunn. In the list of localities of the Kingdom of Bavaria from 1876, the single-seat settlement with two buildings and two inhabitants was shown (as of the census on 1 December 1875)
The area belongs to today's district Harlaching (city district Siebenbrunn of the municipal district Untergiesing-Harlaching). Today, the name is often used to describe the Hellabrunn Zoo in Hellbrunn (not to be confused with the Tiergarten Hellbrunn in Salzburg).
The first written mention of the place under this name dates from 20 March 1754, on that day the estate of Franz Anton von Paur was elevated to a noble seat in Giesinger Au. The name means bright fountain or clear water, names of this kind were popular in the Baroque for castles (Fontainebleau, Clairfontaine), Siebenbrunn. The famous Hellbrunn Palace in Salzburg, built between 1612 and 1619, is named for its water games. The name is probably an allusion to the water games in the baroque parks of the castles on the slope above the river moors, for example the waterfalls of the Harlaching Gardens at the foot of the mountain ended in 25 fountains. The origin of the name is rather improbable as a to a light spring bubbling from the Isarhang, although there are several small springs in the region, but none of them is unusually clear or otherwise conspicuous. From 1812, the name also appears in the Topographical Atlas of Bavaria. During the parish education in 1818, Hellbrun became part of the municipality of Harlaching, later it was treated with this for some time (Ober-) Giesing. On 1 October 1854 Hellabrunn, which belonged to the municipality of Giesing, was reclassified to Munich. Single-level Edit source text
