The district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen ( Bavarian Däiz-Woifratshausn ) is located in the south of the administrative district of Upper Bavaria in Bavaria . The current double district was created in 1972, mainly through the merging of the former Bad Tölz and Wolfratshausen districts .

The district is designated as an independent tourism region “Tölzer Land” within Bavaria (→ see also section: Tourism ).

The district in the Bavarian Oberland is traversed from southwest to north by the Isar , which in it changes from a mountain river to a broad pre-Alpine stream and flows off at Icking towards Munich .

The district town of Bad Tölz is the district town , but various offices and authorities have been retained in the former district town of Wolfratshausen . The economic center and largest town in the district is the town of Geretsried , which emerged after the Second World War .

history

Offices as well as regional and nursing courts until 1800

The area of ​​today's Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district was part of the historical inventory of the Duchy of Bavaria. In the High Middle Ages , the eastern part of today's district was assigned to the “Sundergau”, to the west of the Isar was the “Huosigau”; the boundaries were fluid. Between the years 1000 and 1100, the area was under the control of the Counts of Ebersberg, who died out in 1045, and the Wolfratshausen County of the Andechs-Meranians , who went out in 1248. Successors were the Wittelsbachers , who had received the ducal dignity in 1180. The inheritance of the noble free von Tölz, who died out in 1265, also fell to the Wittelsbach family. They also obtained bailiwick rights over the important monasteries Schäftlarn , Tegernsee and Benediktbeuern and their judicial districts. The castles Wolfratshausen and Tölz developed into new central locations and served as ducal bases. The land registry offices there - from 1281 at the latest, Tölz is named as one of the most important offices of the Duchy of Bavaria in the state land registry - formed the first structures of a developing administration, which was followed by the caste offices and later the Wolfratshausen and Tölz regional and nursing courts , which followed up to secularization in existed in 1802/1803. There were also the court brands Hohenburg, Greiling - Reichersbeuern - Sachsenkam , Harmating , Ascholding , Hechenberg , Königsdorf , Eurasburg and Hornstein . At the same time, the Benediktbeuern monastery developed its power as a monastery court from the middle of the 12th century .

Regional courts

After the secularization and dissolution of the monasteries in 1803, the district courts of the older order Tölz and Wolfratshausen were formed in what is now the district area . From 1808 they belonged to the Isarkkreis (capital Munich) and from 1838 to Upper Bavaria .

District Offices

In 1862 the district office of the same name was established from the Tölz district court . The district court district Wolfratshausen was initially assigned to the district office of Munich on the right of the Isar, and from 1879/80 to the district office of Munich II. The latter was dissolved in 1902. Then the Wolfratshausen District Office was established.
