The blue land
The working group Das Blaue Land is an amalgamation of the tourism and traffic offices of the municipalities of Murnau , Seehausen , Uffing , Schwaigen-Grafenaschau , Ohlstadt , Großweil , Riegsee and Spatzenhausen , which are in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen district, and Eglfing in the Weilheim-Schongau district . The chair of the working group lies with the market town of Murnau. It is signposted as the Blue Land tourist region .
Origin of name
The main reason for the naming lies in the history: at the beginning of the 20th century Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandinsky settled in Murnau. Together with Franz Marc , August Macke and others, the artists' association of the Blue Rider was formed .
On the other hand, especially in autumn, the incidence of light over the Murnauer Moos with a view of the Loisach valley with the flanking mountains of the Estergebirge has a romantic bluish appearance.
The name Blauer Reiter may also have originated from impressions in the Loisach Valley: Kandinsky commented on the naming in 1930 in his retrospect: “ We invented the name Der Blaue Reiter on the coffee table in the gazebo in Sindelsdorf . We both loved blue, Marc - horses, I - riders. So the name came by itself. "
