The market town Garmisch-Partenkirchen lies at the foot of the Zugspitze in the Werdenfelser Land in Upper Bavaria and is Germany's most important winter sports metropolis, Olympic venue and important international winter sports center in the entire Alpine region.
background
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is located in a basin at the confluence of the Partnach and Loisach between the Ammergau Alps (Kramer) in the west, the Ester Mountains (Wank) in the north and the Wetterstein with the Zugspitze, Waxenstein and the Alpspitze in the south.
Today's political municipality Garmisch-Partenkirchen was created in 1936 from the forcible merger of the previously independent towns Garmisch and Partenkirchen. Both districts have retained a large part of their independent character to this day: Partenkirchen is located approximately to the east of the train station and is the smaller one and, with close development and many pubs and restaurants around Ludwigstrasse, the more cozy district; Garmisch is located to the west of the train station and has a spa park and Pedestrian zone as a shopping mile, the rather sophisticated, sophisticated part of the community. The centers of Garmisch and Partenkirchen are about one and a half kilometers apart. The division in Garmisch and Partenkirchen is carefully maintained by the long-established locals today, both parts of the community have the Lüftl paintings on the house facades in common.
In addition to tourism, some companies in the plastics processing and chemical industry are of economic importance in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Districts of the municipality of Garmisch-Partenkirchen are still today Burgrain, Wamberg (with the Einödshöfen Eckbauer, Vorder-, Mitter-, Hintergraseck), Gschwandt, Höfle, Schlattan and Kaltenbrunn.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen was the composer's hometown for a long time Richard Strausswho lived in Garmisch from 1908 until his death in 1949.
Another famous son of the community is the successful children's book author Michael Ende, who was born on November 12, 1929 in Garmisch as the son of the surrealist painter Edgar Ende and his wife Luise Bartholomä.
For winter sports enthusiasts, she is currently the best-known woman in Partenkirchen Ski racer Maria Riesch, Double Olympic champion (combination and slalom) women in Vancouver 2010 and previously slalom world champion 2009.
The major international skiing event for Garmisch-Partenkirchen was the 41st Alpine World Ski Championships, they took place from February 7 to 20, 2011 (for information see under www.gap2011.com). After 1978 with the 25th Alpine World Ski Championships, Garmisch-Partenkirchen was the organizer for this competition for the second time.
little chronicle
The first traces of human settlement in the region can be traced back to the Neolithic Age, and as a result the region has always been important due to its location on the route from Italy to the Danube.
In Roman times, the Partanum travel station was located on the site of today's Partenkirchen, on the Via Claudia Roman road.
The settlement of the Loisach valley by the Bavarians is dated to the 7th century, Garmisch is first mentioned in 802 as "Geramreskauue" mentioned, Partenkirchen 1130 as "Barthinichirchen".
In 1294, the entire county of the Werdenfelser Landes in the possession of the bishopric Freising above.
The high Middle Ages were a heyday for Garmisch and Partenkirchen: Partenkirchen is an important settlement for the Fuggers on the trade route from augsburg to Italy, Garmisch is important because of the rafting on the Loisach, on which important goods were transported to the north at that time. Both places are in "good neighborly competition" with one another.
During the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648) the whole area became impoverished, and the region suffered heavily from the Spanish and Austrian Wars of Succession and the Napoleonic Wars in the 18th century. In Garmisch, carving was also important in the 17th and 18th centuries.
In 1802, the county of Werdenfels and Garmisch-Partenkirchen became part of Bavaria in the course of secularization.
The major fires of 1811 and 1865 were a catastrophe for Partenkirchen. In the fire of 1865, almost all the houses in Ludwigstrasse were destroyed.
On the occasion of the IV Winter Olympics, the two markets of Garmisch and Partenkirchen were forcibly merged in 1936. The community of 26,000 souls still has no city rights, so the Garmisch-Partenkirchen market is, strictly speaking, still a village.
tourism
Tourism in the entire valley began in 1889 with the completion of the rail link to Munich.
Probably the strongest impetus for tourism in Garmisch-Partenkirchen was the organization of the IV Winter Olympic Games in 1936, which was followed by a sharp slump in 1939 with the start of the Second World War. The cancellation of the Fifth Winter Olympics, which had already been awarded to Garmisch-Partenkirchen in 1940, was a further consequence.
In the 1950s, tourism in Garmisch-Partenkirchen recovered, accompanied by a comprehensive modernization of the spa facilities and leisure facilities. The main pulling horse for visitors is the nearby one Zugspitze and the various international winter sports events, in particular the ski jumping of the international Four Hills Tournament in Partenkirchen and the Kandahar downhill run in Garmisch, one of the most demanding racetracks in the Alpine Ski World Cup.
Since tourism in Garmisch-Partenkirchen today focuses on the winter season, the place is less crowded in summer than you might initially fear.
The audience is international.

Vacation without a car in Garmisch-Partenkirchen? That is quite possible. However, as of June 2019, the region does not have a public transport offer that is completely coordinated with the guest card (Zugspitz Arena Bayern-Tirol CARD). You have to use single tickets for the various modes of transport. There is a tourist bus line ("Guest Bus Bavaria-Tirol" between Garmisch, Grainau, Lermoos) for seasonal traffic, which can be used with the cross-border guest card (Zugspitz Arena Bayern-Tirol CARD) (Timetable summer 2019).
Allegedly there is still a public transport holiday card that can be purchased for 4, 7 or 14 days. However, no further information is known as of June 2019.
For a vacation without a car, it is best to look for an area near the train station (but still in a quiet side street). From here you can take the cogwheel train to the Zugspitze, for example, but you can also use the Zugapitzbahn to reach the valley stations of the mountain railways to the Alpkogel. Attractive excursion destinations by train are Mittenwald and innsbruck. A trip with the Ausserfernbahn is also worth seeing Cheerfulness (Schifffahrt Plansee).
In the street
North of Garmisch near Farchant, the Fernpass route (B23) and the Mittenwald route (B2) in the direction of Munich meet. After the lift closes, when the weather for a trip, at the beginning and end of the holiday and at major events in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, there is heavy traffic from mid-afternoon at the latest with congestion until the start of the motorway Eschenlohe the rule, sometimes considerable time losses, should be taken into account in the travel time planning. The traffic jam on the B2 near Oberau is almost legendary.
The current major project is the planned construction of the Kramer tunnel as part of the western bypass (B23, Fernpass route), which is intended to significantly relieve Garmisch of through traffic.
Electromobility
Since the election by the Bavarian state government in July 2012, Garmisch-Partenkirchen has been Bavaria's second "model municipality for electromobility".
In the course of the project, measures related to electromobility such as charging infrastructure and electric vehicles are to be developed and expanded.

Tourist Attractions
The most important sights and landmarks for the whole place are Lüftl paintings, these are the traditional facade and house paintings, supplemented by statuettes of saints and the ornamental framing on the roof trusses of many historic mountain houses throughout Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Particularly noteworthy examples of buildings with Lüftlmalerei can be found in Garmisch am Husar inn and on Braustüberl (both Fürstenstraße), examples in Partenkirchen are the Wörndle House, Gasthof Fraundorfer and the Gasthof zum Rassen (all in Ludwigstrasse). There are also many other historical and modern versions of Lüftlmalereien to discover. The former wooden shingle roofing is now largely replaced by sheet metal or tile roofing, also because of the fire protection advantages.
Overall, the building fabric in the two town centers has been modernized very carefully, the postmodern excesses of pseudo-alpine architecture are still limited.
One of the best Panoramic views On Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the entire valley basin, one has access from the north-facing Wank, access on foot and ascent with the train possible.
