Little chronicle

The early medieval name for Bayrischzell is Hellingersweng, the name appears in the 5th century and probably stands for an Alemannic colony.

The names "Anno von Zell" and a "Wolfer de Zella" appear in documents around 804, the place is still called Hellingersweng, and was probably abandoned by the residents around 1045 because of the many mountain debris and floods. The place has repeatedly suffered from natural disasters in its further history up to modern times (snowstorms, foehn storms in 1925 and 1956, floods in 1899, 1954).

The year 1076 was a new beginning for Hellingersweng: two hermits built a hermitory (cell) with a small church, it was run as a monastery "in der Zell" from 1079/1080, the first farmsteads were built at the monastery, but the monastery was built in 1085 Fischbachau relocated and later after Scheyern. Countess Haziga is considered to be the founder of the monastery; she was married to the Wittelsbach Count Palatine Otto II von Scheyern and is considered to be Ancestor of the Wittelsbach family.

In the further Middle Ages, the place alternately belongs to Scheyern and Fischbachau and is not spared from the wars in the region even in the late Middle Ages (War of the Spanish Succession between Bavaria and Tyrol).

The Wendelstein is officially climbed for the first time in 1718 by a farmer looking for stray horses, then a chapel is built for the cattle patron Wendelin.

From 1832 onwards Bayrischzell as a place name by (previously also "die Zell", "Innere Zell", "Margarethenzell");

tourism

Tatzelwurm

The Tatzelwurm, also known as the Stollenwurm, Dazzelwurm, Praatzelwurm or Bergstutzen, is a snake-like mythical creature with tatzeln (paws) that appears again and again in legends of the whole Alpine region and its existence is discussed with seriousness until modern times. The beast, which is dangerous to humans, is mentioned scientifically for the first time in the "Historica animalium" by Zurich's Conrad Gessner (1516-1565), the greatest natural scientist of his time. It also appears again and again in later scientific publications; Yeti. Even modern science has not yet been able to definitively refute the existence of the Tatzelwurm.

the Tatzelwurm on Sudelfeld

The many caves in the limestone of the Wendelstein above Bayrischzell are a clear indication of the existence of a Tatzelwurm or even an entire colony; the largest is even accessible. The Tatzelwurmklamm with the Auerbach waterfall (two steps with a total of 95 m) is named after the presumed occurrence of the Tatzelwurm Brannenburger Side / east side of the Sudelfeldpass (1123 m) at the western end of the Tatzelwurmstrasse and near the Tatzelwurm parking lot (764 m) on the German Alpine Road (Bundesstrasse 307).

The prerequisite for tourism was the completion of the Leitzach Valley Railway to Bayrischzell in 1911 and then on May 12, 1912 the opening of the Wendelstein rack railway from the valley town Brannenburg from, along with the beginning of tourism on the Wendelstein. The construction of the 9.95 km long railway line was a pioneering achievement by the secret commercial councilor Dr. h.c. Otto von Steinbeis. In the same year Bayrischzell was also electrified and the first summer visitors followed.

The great upswing in winter sports began in 1938 with the completion of the Alpine road to Sudelfeld and the continuation to Tatzelwurm in 1953, the first suspension lift from Bayrischzell to the Upper Sudelfeld was completed in 1947/48.

In 1958/59 the community already had 25,558 spa guests with 243,000 overnight stays.

regional customs

The place stands for lively Bavarian customs, sponsors are the local associations:

  • The Bayrischzeller Trachtenverein was founded in 1883 by the teacher Joseph Vogl as an "Association for the Preservation of Folk Costumes in the Leitzach Valley" in order to counteract the general decline of traditional customs observed at the time as a result of the economic and social upheaval in society as a whole. Today the club is considered to be the cradle of all Bavarian traditional costumes; the 125th anniversary of the Bayrischzeller Verein was celebrated in 2008 by around 1000 local and traditional costume clubs with almost 200,000 members.
  • The music Society was also founded in 1867 by the teacher Jakob Fromberger, the band starts with 12 musicians. The flagship troops today are those Bavarian alphorn players.
  • The third big traditional club in Bayrischzell is the Mountain Rifle Company.
The mountain riflemen have their origins in the 30-year war (1618 to 1648) and at that time they were still called country flags. The mountain riflemen (rural people in military service) were also used in the following wars between Bavaria and Austria for home defense. In 1809 the clashes were over, the 2nd mountain rifle corps was disbanded.
On the initiative of King Ludwig I, on October 4th, 1835, the Bavarian mountain riflemen were revived from the remains and a company was also founded in Bayrischzell in 1836. However, this troop was not so strict about the law: there was a lot of poaching in the forest of the region, before the Fronfeste in Miesbach there was almost a skirmish between 200 mountain riflemen and their arrested leader, and the Landwehr was finally disbanded.
Today's mountain rifle company was re-established in 1980 as the eighth in the Miesbach district and is now the 32nd company of 46 companies in the Bavarian Mountain Rifle Federation.
