Prien and Prien-Stock with the island of Herrenchiemsee in the Chiemsee from the air

Prien am Chiemsee (officially: Prien a.Chiemsee , High German [ priːn ], Bavarian [ breˑɐ̯̃ n ]) is a market in the Upper Bavarian district of Rosenheim . The climatic health resort and Kneipp health resort is located directly on the Chiemsee . The name Prien is derived from the Celtic name for the river Prien ( Brigenna - "The one coming from the mountains"). Prien has been a fair trade city since November 6, 2018 .

Community structure

Prien am Chiemsee has 36 districts:

history

Celtic and Roman times

The name Prien is of Celtic origin, derived from Brīvena (= bridge place) after Albrecht Greule . There are traces of a Roman settlement in the Trautersdorf district .

Middle Ages until the church was founded

Prien on a historical map. The baptistery, two bridges over the Prien and the district `` Gries '' behind the Prien can be clearly seen.

The current district of Trautersdorf can be traced back to the early Middle Ages as a settlement, Prien itself was founded in the middle of the 12th century (around 1158) as the administrative center of the Counts of Falkenstein . It was a parish of the Chiemsee diocese . After the fall of the Falkensteiner it was part of the Wildenwart rule and the Hohenaschau rule ; it was the place of a courtroom . In the course of the administrative reforms in Bavaria in 1818 , Prien am Chiemsee became an independent political municipality.

19th to 21st century

With the opening of the Rosenheim – Salzburg railway line in 1860 and the general opening of the Herrenchiemsee Royal Palace in 1886, the age of tourism began. The Chiemsee shipping , whose main port is Prien, was expanded, hotels and guest houses were created, and numerous townspeople built their summer villas around the town, which was elevated to market in 1897. The train station and the port in Prien-Stock are still connected by the Chiemsee Railway , built in 1887 and sometimes operated with steam during the main season .

In 1944, for air protection reasons, the main SS court office (the supreme court of the SS) was relocated from Munich to Prien and moved to the Hotel Kronprinz.

In 1948 the Constitutional Convention on Herrenchiemsee took place on the Herreninsel in front of Prien-Stock, where the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany was drawn up.

Prien was also a place of jurisdiction from 1813 to 1959, first a Count's Preysing court , then a district or district court .

Incorporations

On May 1, 1978, parts of the dissolved communities Hittenkirchen and Wildenwart were incorporated.

Population development

Between 1988 and 2018 the market grew from 8,719 to 10,789 by 2,070 inhabitants or 23.7%.

coat of arms

The market town has had its own coat of arms since 1903, originally awarded by Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria . This coat of arms contained St. Catherine of Alexandria , her right hand resting on a shield that showed a golden falcon on a blue background. The Prien market ceased to use this coat of arms in 1958 and from then on only used the shield as the municipal coat of arms, but without official approval. In 1967, the municipality therefore had to formally clarify the question of the coat of arms and decided on a new version without a shield holder , which it has officially been using since 1968. It is described as follows:

“In blue a curled golden tip, inside a broken blue wheel below; in front a red armored golden falcon turned to the left, behind two growing, diagonally crossed golden abbot staffs with turned away curves. "

The broken wheel points to the market patroness Katharina von Alexandrien , the falcon reminds of the secular rule of the Falkensteiner counts over Prien, while the abbot's rods indicate the ecclesiastical authority of the Augustinian canon monastery at Herrenchiemsee. The provosts of Herrenchiemsee as archdeacons of Chiemsee and Salzburg were the only prelates in Bavaria to have two abbot staffs in their coat of arms.

Community partnerships

Prien am Chiemsee has partnerships with the French Graulhet (since 1971) and the Italian Valdagno (since 1987). There is a friendly relationship with the Hungarian Kisvárda without a formalized partnership agreement.

Economy and Infrastructure

The climatic health resort and the only Kneipp health resort in Upper Bavaria is primarily characterized by tourism. In addition, a number of health facilities and clinics are located in Prien, for example one of the district's RoMed hospitals or the Medical Park Prien Kronprinz , in which the Prien market has a 44.2% stake. Prien is also the seat of the Schön Klinik group of companies .

In Prien, the regional currency " Chiemgauer " was created in 2003 on the initiative of a student project of the Free Waldorf School Chiemgau , which is now used with success in the entire region - that is the districts of Rosenheim and Traunstein .

Prien has a close connection with the visual arts. On August 5, 1945, the first free art exhibition after the end of National Socialist rule and the first exhibition of modern art in Germany was opened in the rooms of the district court building, which was vacant after the Second World War . The press writes:

“… Prien caught the trucks rolling in from all sides, the stream of people flooded to the old district court. The white house wore nothing but a banner: art exhibition. The first German art exhibition on Bavarian soil since the collapse of National Socialism was opened in a setting whose simplicity and unstress precisely emphasized the content: quality, authenticity, artistic truth ...
