Garmisch-Partenkirchen in the summer - Travel Germany
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a ski town in Bavaria, southern Germany. It is the seat of government of the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen (abbreviated GAP), in the Oberbayern region, which borders Austria. Nearby is Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze, at 2,962 m (9,718 ft.).
Garmisch (in the west) and Partenkirchen (in the east) were separate towns for many centuries, and still maintain quite separate identities.
Partenkirchen originated as the Roman town of Partanum on the trade route from Venice to Augsburg and is first mentioned in the year A.D. 15. Its main street, Ludwigsstrasse, follows the original Roman road.
Garmisch is first mentioned some 800 years later as Germaneskau (German District), suggesting that at some point a Teutonic tribe took up settlement in the western end of the valley.
During the late 13th century, the valley, as part of the County of Werdenfels, came under the rule of the prince-bishops of Freising and was to remain so until the mediatization of 1803. The area was governed by a prince-bishop's representative known as a Pfleger (caretaker or warden) from Werdenfels Castle situated on a crag north of Garmisch.
The discovery of America at the turn of the 16th century led to a boom in shipping and a sharp decline in overland trade, which plunged the region into a centuries-long economic depression. The valley floor was swampy and difficult to farm. Bears, wolves and lynxes were a constant threat to livestock. The population suffered from periodic epidemics, including several serious outbreaks of bubonic plague. Adverse fortunes from disease and crop failure occasionally led to a witch hunt. Most notable of these were the trials and executions of 1589–1596, in which 63 people — more than 10 percent of the population at the time — were burned at the stake or garroted.
Werdenfels Castle, where the accused were held, tried and executed, became an object of superstitious terror and was abandoned in the 17th century. It was largely torn down in the 1750s and its stones used to build the baroque Neue Kirche (New Church) on Marienplatz, which was completed in 1752. It replaced the nearby Gothic Alte Kirche (Old Church), parts of which predated Christianity and may originally have been a pagan temple. Used as a storehouse, armory and haybarn for many years, it has since been re-consecrated. Some of its medieval frescoes are still visible.
Garmisch and Partenkirchen remained separate until their respective mayors were forced by Adolf Hitler to combine the two market towns in 1935 in anticipation of the 1936 Winter Olympic games. Today, the united town is casually (but incorrectly) referred to as Garmisch, much to the dismay of Partenkirchen's residents. Most visitors will notice the slightly more modern feel of Garmisch while the fresco-filled, cobblestoned streets of Partenkirchen offer a glimpse into times past. Early mornings and late afternoons in pleasant weather often find local traffic stopped while the dairy cows are herded to and from the nearby mountain meadows.
During World War II Garmisch-Partenkirchen was a major hospital center for the German military. After the war, it was used by the U.S. military as a recreation center for U.S. military men stationed in Europe and their families.

Places to see in ( Konstanz - Germany ) Kaiserbrunnen
Places to see in ( Konstanz - Germany ) Kaiserbrunnen
On the site of an old, dilapidated fountain, the Kaiserbrunnen was built on the market place of 1896-1897, the financial basis of which goes back to a foundation by Joseph Wittmann. On October 30, 1897, the solemn revelation and inauguration took place.
In 1892, the city council had tendered a public competition, but without prescribing a special program. Four artists had submitted designs to the competition; The city council came to the opinion of the judges and awarded the draft Imperial theme of the local sculptor Hans Baur with the first prize.
After the Emperor's theme, the fountain presents itself in such a way that four larger-than-life imperial statues are erected on niches in the middle of a stone pyramid, representing four German dynasties: Heinrich III. ( Franconia ), Friedrich Barbarossa ( Hohenstaufen ), Maximilian I ( Habsburg ) and Wilhelm I ( Prussia).
The imperial statues were produced by the Galvanoplastischen Kunstanstalt of WMF in Geislingen / Steige in Galvanobronze ; Despite their low metal content, they were dismantled in March 1942 and delivered to the copper smelter in Rastatt as part of the metal donation of the German people.
In 1990, newly designed busts were erected by Gernot Rumpf , which depict the emperors rather caricatured; alongside comic sculptures of water-breathing sea hares, a three-headed peacock with three pope-crowns and other figures that allude satirically to the council time and the city's history. Furthermore, there is a bronze edition of the Peace Treaty of Constance (1183).
