history

prehistory

The district includes, among other things, the eastern part of the Chiemgau , which for a long time was associated with both the Bavarian dukes and the prince archbishops of Salzburg .

Kingdom of Bavaria

In 1802 the regional courts of the older order were established in Bavaria . They were responsible for administration and jurisdiction. In the area of ​​today's district of Traunstein there were the district courts of Traunstein and Trostberg and from 1810 Laufen and Tittmoning . They briefly belonged to the Salzachkreis and came to the Isarkkreis in 1816 , which was renamed Upper Bavaria in 1838 .

The district office of Traunstein was formed in 1862 through the merger of the regional courts of the older order of Traunstein and Trostberg. The district courts of Laufen and Tittmoning formed the district office of Laufen.

On July 1, 1876, the city of Traunstein became an immediate city and left the Traunstein District Office.

On the occasion of the reform of the layout of the Bavarian district offices, the Traunstein district office received municipalities from the Laufen district office on January 1, 1880.

On January 1, 1900, the district office for municipalities ceded to the district office of Rosenheim.

On January 1, 1914, the district office gave the municipality of Au to the city of Traunstein.

time of the nationalsocialism

On January 1, 1939, the designation district was introduced as everywhere else in the German Reich . So the district offices became the districts of Laufen and Traunstein.

On April 1, 1940, the independent city of Traunstein was incorporated into the Traunstein district, but this was reversed on April 1, 1948.

post war period

On January 1, 1970, large parts of the Lauter community in the Laufen district were reorganized into the Traunstein district and incorporated into the Surberg community .

Territorial reform with formation of the district

As part of the regional reform in Bavaria , the Traunstein district was significantly enlarged on July 1, 1972. New to the district:

badges and flags

Coat of arms of the district of Traunstein
 Blazon : “Split; in front in silver a striding, red armored and fire-breathing blue panther; divided behind by gold and red; above a red armored black eagle, below on a green three-mountain a two-towered silver castle, behind which a green tree grows. "
Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms of the district of Traunstein shows a blue panther on a silver background on its heraldic right half . This is the coat of arms of the Counts of Spanheim , who ruled Chiemgau as early as the 12th century. The upper left half of the coat of arms shows a red-armored black eagle on a golden background: the coat of arms of the former diocese of Chiemsee . The lower left half shows a white castle and a green tree on a red background - the coat of arms of the Baumburg monastery - and thus represents the northern part of the district.

A white and blue flag with the county coat of arms is used as the unofficial county flag .

Together with the Rosenheim district, the district was a member of the Chiemsee Tourism Association (1912–2009), which was dissolved at the end of 2009 with a large majority. The former district councils of the two counties represented unlike many Traunsteiner communities view: "Each district is to advertise its own association to the tourists." Thus, since 1 January 2010, the communities of the district of Traunstein in association Chiemgau Tourist Board organized that of the Rosenheim district in the Chiemsee Alpenland Association .

As a result, the Traunstein district has been promoted within Bavaria as an independent tourism region, which has its own website and, since 2017, a new logo under the brand "chiemsee chiemgau Bavarian Alps". Initially the self-designation as the tourism region was "Chiemgau", since 2019 " Chiemsee-Chiemgau ". Despite its name, however, after its separation from the Rosenheim district, the tourism region only partially covers the Chiemgau and Chiemsee cultural landscapes .

The district of Traunstein or the Chiemsee-Chiemgau tourist region comprises the eastern part of the Chiemgau and in the north-west part of the Rupertiwinkel cultural landscape , which attracts tourists with its rural, rural character.

Popular tourist destinations in the Chiemsee region are Seebruck and Chieming , in the alpine district region of Reit im Winkl , Ruhpolding and Inzell to the south and in the northeastern part of the Rupertiwinkel Waging am See with the Waginger See .
