Location of the municipality of Chiemsee in the district of Rosenheim

Chiemsee in the Upper Bavarian district of Rosenheim is the smallest in terms of population and the second smallest municipality in Bavaria after Buckenhof . About 230 inhabitants live on 2.57 km². There is no municipal capital and no village of the same name. The community is a member of the Breitbrunn am Chiemsee administrative association .

geography

The municipal area consists of the three larger islands in the Chiemsee , Herrenchiemsee , Frauenchiemsee (main town with the majority of the population) and the uninhabited Krautinsel . The Chiemsee itself and the tiny island of Schalch near Frauenchiemsee do not belong to the municipality, but as a municipality-free area to the neighboring district of Traunstein . This means that the islands of the Chiemsee community are exclaves of the Rosenheim district, which are completely surrounded by the area (here: Chiemsee water area) of the Traunstein district.

history

Until the 19th century

The Herren- and Frauenchiemsee monasteries were founded in 782 by Duke Tassilo III. founded by Bavaria. Both monasteries flourished between the 11th and 15th centuries after the destruction of the Hungarian invasions . The two islands of Herren- and Frauenchiemsee formed closed court stamps of the respective local monasteries. After secularization and the formation of the Kingdom of Bavaria , the political municipality of Chiemsee came into being. King Ludwig II of Bavaria bought the entire Herreninsel in 1873 for 350,000 guilders in order to build his new Herrenchiemsee Palace here from 1878 .

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018, the population of the island community fell from 393 to 211 by 182 inhabitants or 46.3%, i.e. by almost half of its population at the time - that is the highest percentage loss of inhabitants in Bavaria during the period mentioned.
