history
The first documented mention of Garatshausen is more than 1250 years ago and thus far before the first Feldafing document.
In the 15th century Garatshausen, then consisting of a courtyard and two mills, belonged to the Bavarian Duke Albrecht IV , who left the place to Kaspar Weiler in 1494 . 1565 Weiler received for Garatshausen and associated site Feldafing the Hofmarksprivileg . After Weiler, the place belonged to the Schrenck von Notzing , Vieregg and Basselet von La Rosée families until Duke Max in Bavaria acquired the castle and Hofmark in 1834 .
In 1867 the Duke handed Garatshausen Castle over to his son Ludwig , who three years later sold it to his sister Marie , wife of the last King of the Two Sicilies, Franz II . In 1887 another daughter of Duke Max, Helene , the widow of the Hereditary Prince Maximilian Anton von Thurn und Taxis , took over the property. According to plans by Max Schultze , the house architect of the Thurn und Taxis house , the building was fundamentally renovated in the following years and a representative new building in the neo-baroque style was built a short distance away. An arcade connects the two buildings. The middle of this bridge is the castle chapel, built in 1888.
In 1951, the Starnberg district acquired the “New Castle” to use it as a home for the elderly. The "old castle" Garatshausen is still owned by the Thurn und Taxis family.
From the 16th to the middle of the 19th century, the village of Feldafing was only a relatively insignificant part of the old Hofmark Garatshausen. Today Garatshausen has grown together with the neighboring municipality of Tutzing and forms a district of Feldafing, so that the previous legal dependencies are now reversed.
Trivia
Garatshausen also became known as the adopted home of Hans Albers , who in 1933 acquired a 27,000 square meter property on the so-called Garatshauser Mühl- or Müllerbergl, which used to be called Kalvarienberg, which until then had been inhabited by the respective princely castle administrators of the Garatshausen Castle. After his death in 1960, his three sisters living in Hamburg initially claimed the property. Hans Albers' partner, Hansi Burg-Blydt , only became the sole owner after years of disputes over inheritance. In 1971 they sold the entire area to the Free State, which in 1978 transferred it to the Ministry of Agriculture.
Garatshausen became the last residence of the Austrian actor Adolf Wohlbrück .
Street names
A special feature of the village was that there were no street names until 2006, but all properties had only one house number, which was usually assigned consecutively after the construction period, so that many house numbers were not next to each other. In 2006 this was changed for "security reasons".
