history

Original message from the monastery of Berchtesgaden

After starting 1201 the Klosterstiftskirche Berchtesgaden the spiritually parish Berchtesgaden was incorporated, came soon after Ramsau as one of its branches which will, however, only in 1512 with the Church of St. Sebastian as a private branch church building was equipped. A purchase contract with provost Johann Sax von Saxenau from 1295, according to von Koch-Sternfeld “the first German document from Berchtesgaden”, also refers to a “Heinrich von Ramsau (in Hinterberchtesgaden)” as one of several witnesses to this contract. Koch-Sternfeld also thinks that at that time there was already "lively traffic" between Berchtesgaden and the Pinzgauer goods on the other side of the " Hirschbühel and Gerhardstein" to exchange salt and cattle - which is why Ramsau and Hintersee "are already widely inhabited and for agriculture thrown out ”. According to his observation, "the people class there (still) reveals that several parts of it come from the Unterpinzgau".

In the course of the Landbrief issued by Provost Ulrich Wulp in 1377 , Ramsau with its two undivided "Gnotschaftsbezirken", which were unnamed until 1817, probably became one of the eight " Primordial Gnotships " of the Berchtesgadener Land by the end of the 14th century . The area surface of Berchtesgaden corresponded from 1155 to the heartland of the monastery pen Berchtesgaden, the 1380 to Reichsprälatur Berchtesgaden and 1559 to direct imperial Berchtesgaden Provostry had been raised. Ramsau is first mentioned in writing as a Gnotschaft, the area of ​​which roughly encompassed that of today's municipality of Ramsau near Berchtesgaden , in the first tax book of the Berchtesgadener Land from 1456.

Ceiling fresco in Maria Kunterweg

In the 16th century, the Reformation found few followers in Ramsau in contrast to most of the other Gnotships in the Berchtesgadener Land.
And after a large number of Protestants and thus 10 percent of the population had been expelled from the territory ruled by the prince provost in the course of the Counter Reformation, the Maria Himmelfahrt church , also known as Maria Kunterweg , was consecrated in Ramsau in the year of their departure (1733) who triumphantly documents this emigration with a ceiling painting. In the lower chronogram of two cartouches , translated from Latin, you can read:

At the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin and Mother

is the corrupting misconception here of this one

Church has been driven out. (1733)

Secularization, connection to Bavaria

After the secularization of 1803, the Berchtesgadener Land lost its political independence as a prince provost , which was followed by three changes of rule in quick succession. In 1810 the Berchtesgadener Land was finally incorporated into the Kingdom of Bavaria . Under the direct jurisdiction of the Berchtesgaden Regional Court , Ramsau became a municipality that was assigned to the Salzach district and, from 1817, the newly created Isar district , which has been called Upper Bavaria since 1838 . The two previous Gnotschaft districts of Ramsau were given names by name in 1817 and were split into the four districts of Au and Schwarzeck (formerly parts of the 1st Gnotschaftsbezirks) and Antenbichl and Taubensee (formerly parts of the 2nd Gnotschaftsbezirks), which have since been known as "Gnotschaften "Are designated. Since the administrative reforms in Bavaria in 1818, the municipality of Ramsau has been able to administer itself.

Under the reigns of the Electorate of Salzburg from 1803 to 1805 and that of the Austrian Empire until 1809, a road was laid out in Ramsau from Hintersee over the Hirschbichl into the Pinzgau , which was intended to transport salt and establish closer economic ties between the territory and Austria.

Post bus to Hintersee (1907)

In 1868, the administrative district of Upper Bavaria was subdivided and Ramsau was incorporated into the Berchtesgaden district office . The Bavarian dynasty of the Wittelsbach family used the extensive forest areas of Ramsau as a court hunting area .

On May 1, 1885, the first “fixed post office” or “postal expedition” was set up in Ramsau, which existed until 1995 as an independent post office. However, after the post office was privatized and the delivery service was relocated from Ramsau to Berchtesgaden, the post office was converted into a "post office" and finally abandoned in 1998. The previous tasks of the post were then taken over by a post agency set up in a drugstore, which was also given up in 2003. Since then there has been no permanent post office in Ramsau.

As one of the first post bus routes from the forecourt of the Berchtesgaden train station , the Berchtesgaden – Hintersee connection was established in 1907 , which also helped to promote tourism in the Ramsau community.

Time of the Weimar Republic

In the course of the November Revolution , the security was King Ludwig III. no longer guaranteed in Munich. On November 7, 1918, he and the rest of the court fled in automobiles first to Wildenwart and from there to the Hintersee . When the king's security seemed threatened in Ramsau too, he fled to Schloss Anif near Salzburg in Austria and released the Bavarian officials and soldiers from their oath of loyalty on November 13, 1918 with the Anifer Declaration .

time of the nationalsocialism

The burgeoning already in the 1920s for the first time and the market Berchtesgaden finally presented efforts of Ramsau from the Watzmann with a cable car to open up, the Bavarian Prime Minister gave Ludwig Siebert ( NSDAP ) with "the consent of the Fuehrer and Chancellor" abschlägigen one on February 2, 1935 Notification.

Between 1934 and 1937, the German Alpine Road was laid out, which, like the road connection over the Hochschwarzeck to Loipl (Bischofswiesen) created between 1968 and 1972 , made Ramsau not only a "destination, but also a transit area" to an unprecedented extent. The General Inspector for German Roads, Fritz Todt , who was also involved in the construction of the Alpine Road, acquired the former customs house on Hirschbichlstrasse near the Hintersee and had it converted into a residential building by Gustav Gsaenger in 1940/41 .

The district office responsible for the place Berchtesgaden was renamed in 1939 in the district of Berchtesgaden with the same area of ​​responsibility.

Paul Giesler (1895–1945), first Gauleiter of the NSDAP of Westphalia-South and Munich-Upper Bavaria, then Bavarian Prime Minister and, according to Hitler's political will, from April 30, 1945, successor to Heinrich Himmler as Reich Minister of the Interior on May 2, 1945 shot his wife in the magic forest near the Hintersee . This was allegedly preceded by a joint attempted suicide with sleeping pills with his wife and mother-in-law . A possibly second suicide attempt after the killing of his wife also failed: seriously wounded by a shot in the head, Giesler was taken to a hospital in the Bischofswieser district of Stanggaß , where he died a few days later according to the death register of the Catholic parish of Berchtesgaden on May 8, 1945. But all in all, the information about Giesler's death circumstances is contradictory and uncertain.

post war period

Shortly after the end of the Second World War, the Ramsau forester Georg Küßwetter tried to prevent the further expansion of tourism in the Ramsau mountains. From 1946 he initiated several arson attacks on alpine huts and mountain huts and then had the walls of the former Wehrmacht house on the Blaueis blown up. In addition to his completed crimes, he instigated one of his hunters several times, without success, to burn Todt's house, which was now occupied by an American captain who was involved in massive poaching. In 1952, the Traunstein Regional Court led the trial against him as the main accused in the royal palace in Berchtesgaden. This court case attracted nationwide media interest. He was sentenced to two and a half years in prison in September 1952.

In 1968 the municipality of Ramsau founded the “Watzmannbahn GmbH” together with the Berchtesgaden market, the tourist association of the Berchtesgadener Land and a few private individuals with the aim of making a new attempt at the Watzmannbahn after the negative decision of 1935. This was followed by legal disputes with opponents of the tourist development of the Watzmann. And although the Ramsau municipal council still said on September 13, 1972, "the construction of a cable car to Falzköpfl is a vital project for Ramsau", the judgment of the Bavarian Administrative Court of December 17, 1969 and the decision of the Bavarian State Government of May 7, 1974 withdrew the foundation of the project through the establishment of the Berchtesgaden National Park and put a new end to it.

From the territorial reform to the present

Even after the regional reform in Bavaria in 1972, Ramsau ( officially since then: "Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden") remained an independent municipality.

On January 1, 1984, the community-free areas of Forst Hintersee (3489.32 ha ), Ramsau Forest (5685.89 ha) and Forest Taubensee (754.78 ha) were dissolved and completely incorporated into the community of Ramsau as separate districts . Likewise, the southern part of the Jettenberger Forest (Reiter Alm, 963.27 of 2963.27 ha) was incorporated into the municipality and district of Ramsau (the larger northern part with 2000.00 ha went to the neighboring municipality of Schneizlreuth ). These uninhabited areas are entirely located in the Berchtesgaden National Park; their incorporation has increased the area of ​​the municipality considerably from 22.98 km² to 129.18 km². This also includes the two hectares that Berchtesgaden received on July 1, 1982 when the municipality-free area of Berchtesgadener Bürgerwald was dissolved (the lion's share of 258.9 hectares went to the neighboring municipality of Bischofswiesen).

Population development

In the last census of 1987, a total of 1694 inhabitants were reported for Ramsau, on December 31, 2014 the community had 1742 inhabitants.

Between 1988 and 2018 the number of inhabitants decreased or it stagnated from 1723 to 1714 by 9 inhabitants or by 0.5%.

Geographical and socio-cultural assignments

Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden lies within the Berchtesgadener Land region, which is surrounded by the Berchtesgaden Alps . From 1155 almost congruent with the heartland of the monastery monastery Berchtesgaden, which became more and more independent over the centuries and was raised to the imperial provost of Berchtesgaden from 1559 to 1803 , this region is still today culturally and socio-culturally bordered by neighboring Chiemgau and within the same district Berchtesgaden from the former Duke of Bavaria Bad Reichenhall and the once the Archbishopric of Salzburg belonging Rupertiwinkel from. Thus, for Ramsau bei Berchtesgaden, responsible municipal associations and regional authorities such as the former district of Berchtesgaden and the current district of Berchtesgadener Land as well as the associated communities went far beyond the socio-cultural conceptual unit “Berchtesgadener Land”.

In relation to the Berchtesgadener Land region, the Ramsau Christmas Rifle Club, founded on January 26th, 1908, joined the United Christmas Riflemen of the Berchtesgadener Land, founded in 1925, and the Ramsau Mountain Costume Preservation Association "D 'Achentaler", the United Trachten Associations founded in 1928 in the Berchtesgadener Land .

religion

In 2011, out of a total of 1727 inhabitants in Ramsau near Berchtesgaden, 96 were Protestant (a decrease of 28.4% compared to 1987) and 1,445 were Roman Catholic (a decrease of 5.3% compared to 1987), the religious affiliation of the remaining 186 inhabitants was not broken down. So far, in addition to “Roman Catholic” and “Evangelical Lutheran”, only the number of “foreigners” is given in the statistics of the census - here with 90 (an increase of 73.1% compared to 1987) of the 186 inhabitants, which are not specifically broken down . No information is available for Ramsau about members of other religious communities and their possible meeting rooms. (→ see also the sections that restrict or criticize the information provided in this regard in the 2011 census : Household survey , questions on religion and scientific control .)

A branch of the Berchtesgaden parish since the 13th century , a canon resided in Ramsau from 1657 at the church of St. Sebastian as vicar , to whom a rectory was established in 1659 . In 1812 an independent Roman Catholic parish was established for the area of ​​the municipality of Ramsau and the church of St. Sebastian became a parish church . For several years the pastoral care and administration of the parish of Ramsau near Berchtesgaden had been entrusted to the dean of the dean's office in Berchtesgaden as the parish administrator . Since 2013, the parish has its own pastor again, who is also the parish administrator of the Unterstein parish (Schönau am Königssee). With this parish administration, the 2020 structure plan of the Archdiocese of Munich and Freising has already found its first practical implementation with regard to a parish association of the parishes of Ramsau and Unterstein , which was taken the next step in 2016 with the establishment of the Ramsau Unterstein Parish Association .

In the 19th century, from the 1830s onwards, a well-known painters' colony had developed on the Hintersee , mainly made up of representatives of the Munich and Vienna Schools, including: Wilhelm Busch , Carl Rottmann , Ludwig Richter , Carl Schuch , Karl Hagemeister , Thomas Fearnley , Friedrich Gauermann , Ferdinand Waldmüller and Frederik Christian Kiærskou (1805–1891). Among them then u. a. Carl Rottmann also made the lake itself a motif. Many of them were served by the Auzinger inn and its predecessor, Hint. See Wirth as a meeting point and hostel.

However, while Fearnley (1830) and Loos (1836) , for example, still chose the perspective from the west or from the former village center at Gasthof Oberwirt towards the church with the Göll in the background, towards the end of the 19th century the perspective changed in the opposite direction , and the viewpoint called Malerwinkel today with Ramsauer Ache and Ertlsteg in the foreground and the Reiter Alpe in the background prevailed. In addition, it still serves as the central motif on photo and postcards and is also used on a puzzle .
