history
In the course of time, various roads were built over the Ettaler Sattel.
Oldest street
This road was built around 1300 from a much older mule track . It follows the course of today's Oberauer Gemeindestraße Alte Ettaler Straße , just under 1.5 km from the junction of the Gemeindestraße from the Bundesstraße 23 next to the Gießenbach. Then it leads up the mountain with two hairpin bends and a maximum gradient of 36%. After the upper bend, the road leads approx. 500 m above the Markgraben . Shortly before Ettal, the road is crossed by federal road 23.
old street
After the Fernpassstraße had been relocated in the years 1541–1547 and an alternative route to the Ettaler Sattel had been created and customs revenue had fallen, demands were made in the 16th century to renew the road over the Sattel as well. However, the planning did not begin until the beginning of the 17th century in 1615 under the abbot of the Ettal monastery, Othmar I. Goppelzrieder. With the outbreak of the Thirty Years War , the monastery was forced to build the road on its own. Construction work began on September 30, 1628 and was finished a year later. This road branches off in Oberau approx. 1 km from the federal road 23 from the oldest road and leads uphill from there. After about 600 m the old road meets the oldest road again.
New street
Today's street layout was planned and built at the end of the 19th century. The planning work began in 1885. After this was completed, the construction work began in 1887 and lasted until 1889. The total costs for this 4.367 km long road were 365,000 m . The new road only has an average gradient of 4.6%, which means that a leader was no longer necessary.
