As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the previous municipality of Kammer and parts of the dissolved municipality of Hochberg (northern part) were added on July 1, 1972 , Wolkersdorf and most of the dissolved municipality of Haslach followed on May 1, 1978.
history
Until the 19th century
Church property registers mention possessions ad Trun as early as 790 , and medieval fortifications ( castle stables ) can also be proven in the vicinity from the 10th century ( Burg Traunstein , Burgstall Traunstein , Burgstall Hochberg and Burgstall Lenzisburg ). Trauwenstain itself is first mentioned in 1245 in a document from the Baumburg monastery . The name means castle on the Traun, and with some probability the seat of the Lords de Truna was here, surrounded by a small settlement. It was only the Wittelsbachers who built it up according to plan, fortified it and thus controlled the crossing of the Traun River on the important salt road from Reichenhall to Munich on the border with the Salzburg archbishopric .
_1969,_MiNr_602.jpg)
In 1120 the noble 'von Truna', ministerials of the Counts of Kraiburg - Ortenburg , settled in today's urban area, probably because of the strategically favorable location: They built the castle on the edge of the town plateau near the trade route, which is largely from River is surrounded. The gentlemen "de Truna" are mentioned in sources from 1242 for the last time.
Traunstein was first mentioned in a document in 1245. In the first contract of Erharting (1254) the Archbishop of Salzburg waived the acquisition of the counties and courts in Chiemgau. The Chiemgau with Traunstein fell to the Wittelsbach family, who saw the town as an important strategic and economic hub right on the border with the Archbishopric of Salzburg. Traunstein was ideally located on a hill directly on the Traun and thus on the trade route from Reichenhall to Munich. From here, the entire movement of goods across the Traun could be controlled. The Wittelsbachers therefore had Traunstein fortified and expanded, and they gave it trade and customs privileges.
Documents about the elevation of the place to the city have been lost - according to historical sources by fire. The city was founded around the middle of the 13th century, because in 1255 Truna is listed as Traunstein among those cities that were part of the dukes Ludwig the Strict and Heinrich XIII. The division of Bavaria made to Duke Heinrich in 1255 . After losing the original document for the founding of the city, Duke Friedrich of Bavaria renewed Traunstein's city privileges in a letter of freedom in 1375 .
The new role as "Guardian of the Salt Road" brought Traunstein great prosperity early on. The salt from Bad Reichenhall was stored and transshipped here in order to be transported on to Munich or Wasserburg. The traders were forbidden to bypass transshipment points like Traunstein, and so the city earned with every delivery over the Traun. The streets and alleys were paved as early as 1493. From 1431 Traunstein had a "Leprosenhaus" ( Leprosorium ), the location of which is unclear. In 1526 the Lindlbrunnen with Rossschwemme was built as the end point of the city's water supply.
In 1587 Duke Wilhelm finally nationalized salt production, which suddenly made Traunstein unprofitable for the rich salt broadcasters. They then left the city, which until then was economically heavily dependent on the salt trade. Due to the good transport connections and the reputation as a craftsmen and market center, Traunstein survived this upheaval economically but largely unscathed. In 1613, another very rich brine spring was discovered in Reichenhall . The saltworks there was already working at its capacity limit. Although the city was already supplied with considerable amounts of firewood from the Pinzgau in Salzburg via the Trift systems , this was not enough to sift the additional brine on site. Duke Maximilian I therefore decided in 1616 to route the brine to Traunstein via a pipe system. Sufficient firewood could be brought to Traunstein with the water of the Traun, and the forests were owned by the duke. For the brine pipeline to Traunstein , a distance of 31 km and a height difference of 340 m had to be overcome. Pumps operated with water power in seven wells carried the brine upwards, which then, using the natural gradient, flowed to the next well. About 9000 drawbars were used as pipes . The line was built by the court architect Hanns Reiffenstuel and his son Simon . In Traunstein, meanwhile, a new district was built in the Au - consisting of a saltworks , brewing facilities, hardening houses and workers' apartments - for the newly won branch of the economy. After three years of construction, the saline was put into operation in 1619.
Although Traunstein was largely spared the atrocities of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), it was not affected by the plague that followed, from which almost a tenth of the population died between 1631 and 1635. On July 25 and 26, 1704, Austrian troops occupied Traunstein in the course of the War of the Spanish Succession . A devastating city fire changed the medieval cityscape considerably (see below), which, however, could be rebuilt despite many years of Austrian occupation.
In 1782, Elector Karl Theodor commissioned the renovation of the salt works in Traunstein. Among other things, this resulted in the construction of the cross-shaped brewhouse in 1787. The annual salt production and the efficiency of the production increased rapidly. The completion of the new saltworks ensured the continuation of salt production in Traunstein for another 100 years.
In 1808 Traunstein lost almost all rights as a result of the first Bavarian constitution. In spite of this, the city remained the administrative and trading center of the Chiemgau, which was particularly important for Bavaria's third largest grain market. On the night of April 25-26, 1851, another major fire destroyed almost the entire city (see below).
20th century
The urban image and history of the Bavarian-Catholic administrative center was largely shaped in the years between 1890 and 1914, so that the city today has a significant number of Wilhelminian-style and Art Nouveau buildings. In 1912, the last Traunstein saltworks in the Au was closed .
On January 1, 1914, the previously independent community of Au was incorporated into Traunstein; during the First World War , the saltworks served both as a camp for more than 1,000 civilian and war prisoners and as a hospital ; At the beginning of 1919 Adolf Hitler was assigned to guard the prisoners for a few weeks. After the First World War, hyperinflation occurred due to the global economic crisis in 1923 and emergency money with amounts in the billions also circulated in Traunstein.
During the Second World War , the Traunstein station area was the target of American bombing four times: on November 11, 1944, January 21, 1945, April 18, 1945 and finally on April 25, 1945. The heavy bombing in April 1945 destroyed the station area by more than 100 people died. A little later, on May 2, 1945, Jewish concentration camp prisoners crossed Traunstein on a death march . 61 of them were shot the next day near Surberg (a memorial there commemorates them). The city was surrendered without a fight on May 3, 1945.
With the local elections in January 1946, democratization began, building on structures prior to 1933. Displaced people had to be cared for and integrated. From 1948 to 1972 (as between 1876 and 1935) Traunstein was an independent city. In the course of the municipal reform , Traunstein was incorporated into the district of Traunstein on July 1, 1972 and received the status of a major district town .
The cityscape changed in 1998 with the reconstruction of the Jacklturm, which fell victim to the fire in 1851.
21st century
In December 2012, Traunstein celebrates the completion of the B304 northern bypass, which Peter Ramsauer described as a "building of the century". The 4.5 km long project took over 40 years and cost € 77 million. The construction of a 385 meter long viaduct over the Traun and the 725 meter long Ettendorfer Tunnel was necessary for the bypass. It now serves to relieve the inner city, which was passed through by approx. 26,000 vehicles every day.
On September 1, 2013, the city of Traunstein was classified as a regional center by the regional planning authorities . As a result, Traunstein is now responsible for the surrounding medium-sized and sub-centers as an authority and education center. The area of influence includes the districts of Traunstein, Berchtesgadener Land, Altötting, Mühldorf and parts of Rosenheim.
In 2017, the city exceeded the limit of 20,000 inhabitants for the first time and thus changed from a small to a medium-sized town.
City fires
In its 750-year history, the city of Traunstein was hit at least twice by city fires: on August 13, 1704, when Hungarian Pandours set the city on fire in the course of the War of the Spanish Succession , and in 1851. For unknown reasons, the first big one is said to be in 1371 City fire took place, to which a district including the church fell victim. There are no contemporary reports on this, but Duke Friedrich von Bayern renewed the city privileges in 1375 because the original document was burned - a fire must have taken place shortly before. It has been suggested that this first fire could have started in a brickworks near the district . Recent archaeological excavations in the area of the former fortress (castle) seem to confirm the oral tradition. In 1586 ten houses burned down in the lower Zwerchzeile (Hofgasse). In the following year, a fire code was issued for the city area for the first time. This was still valid in the 19th century.
After the fire of 1704, the city was largely restored. The noble seat of Neugereut, built by the Schaumburgers, with the castle of the same name on the north side of the city, which also went up in flames, was not rebuilt.
On the night of April 25th to 26th, 1851, Traunstein was the victim of a fire that almost completely destroyed the early modern townscape. As after 1704, it was possible this time to rebuild Traunstein within a few years. A total of 90 houses and 30 utility buildings in the downtown area fell victim to the flames, including the town hall, the regional court, the main salt office and the rent office, the church and all gates and towers (with the exception of the upper one). Only today's Heimathaus, “Zieglerwirtschaft und Brothausturm”, Schaumburgerstrasse and five houses on the north side of the town square opposite the church were spared. The fire broke out in a barn next to the parsonage under construction on Maxplatz and, aided by the strong wind, made its way at breakneck speed over the roofs covered with wooden shingles. All efforts of the domestic and foreign fire fighting and spraying teams were in vain, because: "Once the fire has exceeded a certain limit, no human violence is able to stop it." Many citizens lost all their belongings.
The cause of the fire was initially assumed to be an act of revenge by angry Haslachers, caused by the recent relocation of the parish seat from their village to Traunstein. It was later rumored that a servant's negligence caused the fire. Both assumptions are unproven.
Around 700 citizens were homeless, but the city was helped immediately. King Maximilian visited Traunstein on April 27 and transferred several thousand guilders from his cabinet. Aid committees were set up in many cities to collect donations in cash and in kind. Thanks to the rapid disbursement of the fire insurance funds, the residents were soon able to start rebuilding. The medieval floor plan of the town square was largely retained, but the houses were given historical facades, in keeping with the taste of the time. With the construction of a new town hall between 1855 and 1857 - on the foundations of the Stallechner fire ruins - the reconstruction was largely completed after only six years.
Today's cityscape
The architecture of the city of Traunstein was strongly influenced by city fires and wars and thus brought a mixture of different epochs with it. There are still a few buildings from the late Middle Ages to be found around the town square. Most of the buildings in the upper old town had to be rebuilt after city fires and therefore mostly date from the 19th century. The lower old town was built around the saltworks in the 17th century. Although the brewhouse itself is no longer preserved, numerous workers' houses are still in good condition today. Another important epoch is the period between the 19th and 20th centuries. Here Traunstein grew rapidly and almost tripled its population. The city achieved this growth through the targeted recruitment of wealthy pensioners to make Traunstein a spa town. The result is now numerous suburban villas of the most varied architectural styles, which still characterize the Traunstein cityscape today.

The population development in Traunstein has been shaped by a wide variety of growth rates over the years. While the population more than quadrupled from 1840 to 1950, a stagnation of around 18,000 inhabitants that lasted over 50 years began. Since 2014, Traunstein has experienced another surge of growth, which in 2017 raised the city for the first time above the 20,000 inhabitant limit and made it a medium-sized town. Between 1988 and 2018 the city grew from 17,145 to 20,520 by 3,375 inhabitants or 19.7%. The forecasts also assume continued strong growth in the coming years. The average cold rent in Traunstein rose to around € 10 / m² in 2018, making it the highest in the entire region.
In 2018, Traunstein recorded a proportion of foreigners of 12.61% and an unemployment rate of 2.7%. In 2011, 61.3% of the population were Roman Catholic and 13.7% Protestant.

mayor
The mayor Fritz Stahl (SPD), who has been in office since 1990, did not run for the local elections in 2008 due to his age. The newly elected Lord Mayor of Traunstein, Wilfried Arsan (Independent Voters - UW), was found dead on April 7, 2008. At the suggestion of the city, the state municipal supervisory authority had therefore appointed the previous second mayor, Hans Zillner, as the representative for official business that cannot be postponed for the period from May 1, 2008 until the constituent city council meeting on May 8. Zillner was re-elected as 2nd mayor at the meeting of the city council; he managed the official business until the election of a new mayor by the population on July 13, 2008. Here again the candidate of the independent voters, Manfred Kösterke, was elected as the new mayor with 54.66% of the votes.

City arms of Traunstein
|
Old town coat of arms of Traunstein
|
The current city coat of arms has existed in its present form for centuries ( three hills and two lilies ). In the Middle Ages, however, the coat of arms looked different: there were two halberds above three gates. From this it can be concluded that the branch was originally planned and built primarily as a fortified facility and from a military perspective. Remnants of the former city fortifications still bear witness to this today.
In addition to the coat of arms, the Lindl is also a symbol of the city of Traunstein. The "Marbelstein man on the fountain", built in 1526, still stands today as part of the Lindl fountain on the town square. It represents a knight in Maximilian armor and once stood for the freedom of the city of Traunstein.

religion
Due to its geographical location in south-east Bavaria, Traunstein is traditionally shaped by Roman Catholics and therefore has primarily churches of this religious community. The history of today's Traunstein church building goes back to the 12th century and has always been an important part of the cityscape. The Catholic town church of Traunstein is made up of a total of 4 town parish churches:
- The parish church of St. Oswald on Traunsteiner Stadtplatz is the primary church of the former Pope Benedict XVI and a landmark of Traunstein.
- The Annunciation in the district of Haslach from the 14th century is the second of four parish churches in Traunstein.
- The parish church Heilig Kreuz from 1954 is the youngest of all churches in Traunstein and served to support displaced persons after the war.
- The parish church of St. John the Baptist in the Kammer district was formerly part of the Otting parish in Rupertiwinkel . It dates back to 1452 and has largely preserved its original structure to this day.
In addition, there are other Catholic churches in Traunstein that are not part of the city church but are used on different occasions:
- The saline chapel (Aukirche) is used regularly for church services, weddings and devotions in the summer months.
- In St. Georg and Katharina in the city park, in addition to Roman Catholic. Church services, devotions and Vespers are regularly held by the Greek Catholic community. During the summer months, the portal of the former cemetery church (until 1908) is open every Saturday afternoon.
- The "Ettendorfer Kircherl" stands on a small hill northeast of the city above the Trauntal; it is a branch church of the parish of St. Oswald Traunstein in the area of the community of Surberg. Ettendorf was a well-known place of pilgrimage for many centuries. Traditionally, the church is the destination of the “Traunsteiner Georgiritt” on Easter Monday (see below). In the summer months there are also church services from time to time, as a wedding church it is in great demand; the association organ friends St. Oswald Traunstein e. V. organizes the concert series "Music in the Church" there.
- On the hill east of the city and the former saltworks community of Au rises next to the institute of the English Miss Sparz - the school has meanwhile been handed over to ecclesiastical sponsorship by the order - the church "St. Josef “Sparz , the so-called Sparzer Kircherl .
- The monastery church of the former Capuchin monastery in Traunstein , which has been owned by the city for several decades, serves as the "Kunstraum Klosterkirche" for concerts and art exhibitions under the sponsorship of the ARTS cultural promotion association. The monastery church is currently being renovated by the city of Traunstein for around € 10.8 million, expected to be in 2019, and then used as an event building.
In addition to the Catholic churches, there is also an Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Traunstein . This consists of the Protestant churches in Chieming and Waging and the neo-Gothic Church of the Resurrection in Traunstein . A Free Evangelical Congregation has also existed since 2012 .
In addition, other religious communities have a seat in Traunstein, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses and the New Apostolic Church .
Georgiritt
The Georgiritt in Traunstein, with over 500 horses one of the largest horse pilgrimages in Bavaria, has been taking place every year on Easter Monday since 1892.

Breweries
The brewing industry is culturally deeply anchored in the history of Traunstein and is still an important economic component today. The city gives itself the unofficial name "Bierstadt Traunstein". The reason for this is the high density of breweries that has shaped Traunstein for centuries. The Hofbräuhaus Traunstein from 1612 is the largest and most famous brewery in Traunstein with an output of around 100,000 hl of beer and lemonade. Other operations are the oldest Schnitzlbaumer brewery from 1575 and the smallest brewery, the Wochinger Brewery from 1587 with an annual output of 8,000 hl. The Kiesel and Weißbräu companies have ceased production.
tourism
Traunstein is located in a recreational region around the Chiemsee and is therefore also shaped by tourism. In 2017, the city with its 278 guest beds recorded a total of 34,515 overnight stays and 24,656 guest arrivals.
media
The Traunsteiner local newspaper is called Traunsteiner Tagblatt (formerly: Traunsteiner Wochenblatt). In addition, there was Radio Chiemgau in Traunstein , which broadcasted from there to the whole of Chiemgau; on January 1, 2009 it was merged with Untersberg live to form the radio station Bayernwelle SüdOst , based in Freilassing , which today covers the districts of Berchtesgadener Land and Traunstein, including adjacent areas .

traffic
Traunstein is a traffic junction in eastern Upper Bavaria.
South of Traunstein there is a connection to the federal motorway 8 ( E 52 ) from Munich to Salzburg . In Traunstein the federal road 306 branches off from the federal road 304 ( Dachau - Freilassing ) to Inzell . Other supraregional connections lead to the Chiemsee and Waginger See , among others .
Since December 7, 2012, the so-called northeast bypass has been inaugurated with the symbolic traffic opening of the "Ettendorfer Tunnel", whereby the B304 now passes Traunstein and no longer runs through the city center. The new, around 4.5 kilometers long northeast bypass connects the intersection of the two federal highways B304 / B306 directly with the north of the city.
The Traunstein train station is on the Rosenheim – Salzburg railway line and is the stop for InterCity and EuroCity trains. A connection between Traunstein and the Salzburg S-Bahn is being considered. The branch lines to Waging , Mühldorf am Inn (the Traun-Alz Railway ) and Ruhpolding also begin here . Other railway stations in the city are the Traunstein-Klinikum stop on the Traun-Alz-Bahn and the Seiboldsdorf stop on the Traunstein – Ruhpolding line .
International airports are located in Munich (Franz Josef Strauss Airport, MUC, approx. 120 km away) or Salzburg (Salzburg Airport WA Mozart, SZG, approx. 35 km away). The Schönberg airfield of Fliegergruppe Traunstein eV is located 21 km north of Traunstein and 2 km northeast of Kienberg. It is classified as a special airfield and is mainly used for air sports with powered aircraft, gliders and ultralight aircraft.
health
Traunstein is the seat of the municipal clinic association Kliniken Südostbayern and its central clinic in Traunstein , which is the city's largest employer with over 2000 employees and 500 beds.
Former garrison
Traunstein was also affected by the armament of the Wehrmacht from 1934 onwards . The area of the newly built Badenweiler barracks had a size of 15.789 hectares and offered space for 2000 soldiers. In October 1935, parts of the Mountain Infantry Regiment 100 were billeted. In 1936 they were from III. Battalion of the 61st Infantry Regiment relieved. After the Second World War , the Bundeswehr used the Prinz Eugen barracks (renamed in 1964) from 1956 to 1997 . Staff buildings, two farm buildings and four accommodation buildings were available for up to 1200 soldiers. Until the area was abandoned, the 8th Mountain Air Defense Regiment was stationed in the Prinz-Eugen-Kaserne , which was equipped with M16 half-track vehicles , M42 anti-aircraft tanks and later Gepard . In 1997, the Federal Ministry of Defense decided to close the barracks and move the soldiers to Pocking . The city of Traunstein had tried in vain to avert this decision, as there was a good relationship between the city and the soldiers. Nevertheless, on May 14, 1997, the last soldiers had to leave the Prinz Eugen barracks. The buildings were preserved until the decision to use them in the future in 2002, after which they were then demolished for the Kaserne business park .
