Mittenwald in the Werdenfelser Land is a violin maker and tourist center in Bavaria on the border to Austria. The market town is located in the upper Isar valley and is framed by the alpine world of the Wetterstein- and Karwendel Mountains.
background
Mittenwald is located on the old Roman trade route across the Brenner Pass and was first mentioned in 1080 as "in media silvia". The place belonged since 1294 to the county Werdenfels of the diocese Freising and lies in the border forest of the two dioceses of Freising and Brixen. In 1361 Charles IV raised it to the market.
The economic heyday of Mittenwald were the years 1487-1679, when the Venetian merchants in the course of disputes with Bolzano moved the Bozen markets, and thus the entire trade in goods between Germany and Italy, to Mittenwald. The place was and is on the way from Bolzano via Innsbruck to Augsburg and Munich in a strategically favorable location immediately south of the fork in the route towards Garmisch or over the Kesselberg. The settlement exchange was also relocated to Mittenwald, where all coins in Europe are valid.
The great heyday of Mittenwald ended when the markets were moved back to Bolzano in 1679.
Violin making
The economic decline following the relocation of the Bozen markets (1679) for Mittenwald was stopped when Mittenwald started in 1684 Matthias Klotz after years of apprenticeship with master violin maker Railich in Padua introduced the craft of violin making in Mittenwald, thus laying the foundation for the Mittenwald violin making guild. Around 1750 there were already 15 families of violin makers in the village, and around 1810 there were around 90 instrument makers.
Decisive for the sound body of a high-quality violin is, in addition to the required special craftsmanship and the instrument paint, in particular the special old-seasoned used Tonewood: The top of a violin is made of spruce, the sides and back are made of maple. Only tree trunks from the high mountains that have grown slowly on barren soils and then felled in the dead of winter can be used as the starting material for making musical instruments, because only they provide the required long-fiber and evenly grown and then, after many years of storage, extremely valuable tonewood. The smuggling of instrument wood was punished at the time, the locations of the corresponding trees in the Mittenwald mountain forest are kept a secret. Even today, the spruce from the Alpine region is considered to be the tonewood with the best sound in the world.
At the beginning of the 19th century, the beginning of industrialization led to a loss of quality in violin making. Above all, cheap mass-produced goods were in demand. High-quality musical instruments were almost no longer produced in Mittenwald. King Maximilian II countered this by creating the Mittenwald violin making school founded. Today around a dozen violin and plucked instrument makers are trained here per year, all of whom must be not only excellent craftsmen, but also very good musicians.
The tradition of violin making is still cultivated in Mittenwald by around ten local violin makers, the price for a first-class violin easily reaches the five-digit euro range.
tourism
Modern tourism in Mittenwald began in 1912 with the opening of the station on the Mittenwaldbahn, which is the railway line from Munich via Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Innsbruck.
The statistics for Mittenwald today indicate around 600 accommodation establishments with a total of 5,400 beds and 282,000 overnight stays (in 2008) and around 70 restaurants, making tourism the main line of business in Mittenwald.
regional customs
For the people of Mittenwald, traditional costumes are just as much a part of the street scene as the bus driver's lederhosen do during the morning pint afterwards. Customs and traditions are not a tourist show for the guests in Mittenwald's self-image, but the lived tradition of the locals. The Bavarian radio also had to find out when in 2009 the Mittenwald Trachtler refused to play in the comedy "Keiner geht los" as "Schuhplattler extras", as in the opinion of the Mittenwalder Trachtenverein in this kind of "folksy" and "low-level" Heimatserien ”the real customs are“ dumbfounded ”. Other clubs (including those from Mittenwald) did not judge the participation in this type of home broadcast so critically and participated in the film, the Trachtler from Garmisch-Partenkirchen declared their solidarity with the Mittenwalders and refused to participate. The whole thing found its echo in the relevant tabloid media as the "Uprising of the chamois beards" (see: also in the online edition of Augsburger Allgemeine).
At traditional events (see section Regular events) Tourists watching are also gladly tolerated in Mittenwald, see the section for the addresses of the local associations Get along.
Mountaineer
Mittenwald is (next to Bad Reichenhall) one of the locations of the German mountain troops, also known as the Edelweiss Division because of their badge. It was set up in May 1915 as the "German Alpine Corps" to support the then multi-ethnic state of Austria-Hungary in the First World War in defending its threatened border with Italy.
During the Second World War, the troops were mainly used to fight partisans in the impassable mountain regions of the countries occupied by Germany. The mountain troops of the Reichswehr were involved in war crimes in Italy and Greece during these war missions (like various other units of the Wehrmacht). The memorial against war and fascism, which was inaugurated on March 21, 2010, is a reminder of this. It is located on the site of the elementary and middle school on Mauthweg and was donated to the community about a year earlier by the "Working Group on Attackable Tradition.
Since nature can become a more dangerous opponent than the opposing human enemy in the given area of operation with such a force, a hard drill plays an important role for the extreme operating conditions (mainly abroad) but also the cultivation of camaraderie, togetherness and tradition. The annual highlight of the comradeship cultivation of the mountain hunters is the traditional meeting held at Whitsun and thus outside the tourist high season by the Kameradenkreis der Gebirgsjäger eV on the Hohe Brendten (in front of the Kranzberg), at which all fallen and missing of the mountain troops are honored, and the convicted Nazi War criminals are not excluded in these honors.
From 2002 to 2009 this was the recurring occasion for protests and demonstrations (and occasionally also rioting and vandalism by autonomous groups who had traveled specially), which found their echo in the regional and national media. In 2019, for the first time, representatives of the "Working Group on Attackable Traditions Care" were allowed to take part in the commemoration and lay a wreath for the victims of war crimes committed by the mountain troops of the German Wehrmacht throughout Europe during World War II.
The mountain troops' barracks are located north of Mittenwald, and the only way the military is conspicuous in public is the occasional targeting practice that cannot be ignored.

Tourist Attractions
Streets and squares
- In the grits is the oldest and still heaped village-like district on both sides of the Lainbach (immediately east of the church) with many small farmers and craftsmen's houses with flower-colored front gardens, some of which still have the historic shingle roofs.
- The Ballenhausgasse owes its name to the former warehouse of the market, the name is first mentioned in 1470. The alley, which at first appears to be a little inconspicuous at the entrance to the street, is one of the most interesting streets in town with historical and picturesque small buildings on both sides (violin making museum).
- The Obermarkt (from the parish church to the south) is the former main road for goods traffic from Munich to Innsbruck and today the main part of the pedestrian zone with many impressive and stately up to three-story publishing houses and trading houses.
- The Submarket With Elevated road (at the church and to the north) consists of stately trading houses. The houses on Untermarkt were partially completely destroyed in two large local fires in the northern part in 1918 and 1948 and rebuilt in the local style.
Mittenwald owes the extremely well-groomed appearance of its town center to the ongoing renovation as part of the urban development subsidy of the Free State of Bavaria, which has been implemented with various individual projects since the beginning of the 1990s.
Churches
- Parish church St. Peter and Paul built from 1738 to 1740 by the Wessobrunn master builder and plasterer Helmut Schmutzer, including an older late Gothic choir building. The baroque ceiling frescos in the church come from Matthäus Günther (Augsburg academy director and Asam student), he also designed the air paintings on the church tower, which were then carried out by his journeymen. Also particularly worth seeing inside the church are the high altar sheet "Glory of the Apostle Princes" (Matthias Günther) and the Madonna from 1520 on the side altar.
- Evangelical - Lutheran Trinity Church, built in 1938;
- St. Nicholas Church (Cemetery church);
Lüftlmalerei
Mittenwald is one of the highlights of the Lüftlmalerei, a facade painting in fresco form with folk motifs. The best-known representative of this art in Mittenwald was Matthäus Günther (1705-1788), one of the leading Rococo painters in Germany and one of the earliest representatives of Lüftlmalerei. Another well-known artist from Mittenwald was Franz Karner (1737-1817).
Mainly religious scenes are depicted in Mittenwald. In the historical buildings, the Lüftlmalereien are often combined with the bundwork in the roof gable (the alpine variant of the half-timbered structure). Another characteristic of Mittenwald is the lettering of the house builder / house owner painted on the facade, from which the house name is often derived.
Particularly worth seeing examples of historical Lüftlmalerei in Mittenwald are:
- The Church tower of the parish church of St. Peter and Paul (see at Churches above), these paintings on the skies are counted among the best of their kind, depicting the apostles Peter and Paul.
- Neunerhaus (Obermarkt 24), oldest example in town (around 1746), probably also created by the school of Matthäus Günther; The preaching of Mary with God the Father and the Holy Spirit is shown in the roof gable and the disciples of Jesus are distributed over the facade Werdenfelser Land.
- Gasthof zur Alpenrose (Obermarkt 1), the Lüftlmalerei are by Franz Seraphin Zwinck (around 1780), the five senses are shown, among other things;
- Violin making museum (Ballenhausgasse 3), fresco by Franz Karner (inscribed 1764);
- Hornsteinerhaus (Prof.-Schreyögg-Platz 6/8), carried out by Oberammergauer Franz Seraphin Zwinck (1775). The motif is the beheading of Holofernes by Judith.
