Bavarian Oberland
The Bavarian Oberland is a region of Upper Bavaria in the Bavarian Prealps . A distinction must be made between this and the Oberland planning region, which includes the Werdenfelser Land and the Pfaffenwinkel in addition to the Oberland.
Sometimes the areas north ( Munich , Starnberg , Landsberg am Lech ) or east (Inntal, Chiemgau ) are also incorrectly counted as part of the Bavarian Oberland.
Geographical Oberland
The geographical Oberland extends from Irschenberg in the east to Kochel in the west, thus essentially comprising the district of Miesbach and the southern part of the district of Bad-Tölz-Wolfratshausen . In 1705, the first resistance against the Austrian occupiers developed here during the War of the Spanish Succession . This Bavarian popular uprising finally came to a tragic end on the Sendlinger Murder Christmas .
The Bavarian Oberland is an area that is still largely rural and in which culture and customs still play a major role today. In addition to agriculture and forestry, tourism is also of great importance.
Oberland planning region
The Oberland planning region was founded in the 1970s and extends over the four districts of Miesbach , Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen , Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Weilheim-Schongau . In a survey carried out across Germany at the time regarding satisfaction with the place of residence, the Oberland planning region took first place.
