Ottobrunn () is a suburban municipality southeast of Munich, Bavaria, Germany, founded in 1955. Ottobrunn consists of mainly semi-detached and detached houses, as well as extensive garden areas. Ottobrunn is also the German Headquarters of Airbus Defense and Space (former EADS), with the majority of Airbus DS grounds situated in the neighbouring community of Taufkirchen. According to the Federal Statistical Office of Germany, the municipality is the second-most densely populated in all of Germany, trailing only Munich, and ahead of Berlin.
The current Bürgermeister, town major, is Thomas Loderer. In 2020, there were more mayors in Bavaria called Thomas than female mayors.
There is a memorial Doric order column, called the Ottosäule, made by the chiseler Anton Ripfel, commemorating the day in 1832 when Otto of Greece traveled past the present community area on his way to become king of Greece. It was originally situated exactly from the center of Munich, marking the exact spot on the route where Otto of Greece's father left his son. The column was moved, however, southwest, to make room for widening the Rosenheimer Landstrasse.
