Location and districts
_aus.jpg)
Ehrwald lies at the foot of the Wetterstein Mountains with the 2962 m high Zugspitze , at the basin of the Lermooser Moos , a former swampy landscape. The Loisach flows past the place. The name is possibly derived from the Old High German eriro or erro wald , which means "beginning of the forest". According to another view, the name means "old forest" or "ore forest", which cannot be ruled out in view of the nearby ore deposits.
In addition to the main town Obermoos with the valley station of the Tiroler Zugspitzbahn and Ehrwald-Schanz at the former customs station, the districts are Oberdorf, Unterdorf, Schmiede and Weidach.
Ehrwald is adjacent to Biberwier , Garmisch-Partenkirchen (D), Grainau (D), Lermoos and Mieming .

history
Ehrwald was first mentioned in a document in 1274. The settlement did not take place from the Allgäu, as in the rest of Ausserfern , but from Imst . Mining, which continued until the beginning of the 20th century, certainly provided an incentive for this. The place was a bit off the main traffic route over the Fernpass , but had an important source of income with the production of barrel staves for the Saline Hall . Ehrwald was discovered by tourists as early as the beginning of the 20th century and, along with Lermoos, grew into an important two-season tourist community in the Zugspitz region.
The second cable car construction in Austria, the Tiroler Zugspitzbahn , which opened in 1926 and was rebuilt in 1991 (reconstruction of the valley station in 2003 after a fire) and leads to the summit, played an important role in this .
