Winkl is a part of the municipality of Bischofswiesen in the Upper Bavarian district of Berchtesgadener Land .
history
Probably as early as the end of the 14th century, Winkl was the 5th Gnotschaft district of the "Ur gnotschaft " Bischofswiesen in the Berchtesgadener Land , which from 1380 formed the heartland of the Reich Prelature Berchtesgaden and the later independent, imperial provostory Berchtesgaden (1559-1803). After three changes of rulership in quick succession, in 1810 the Berchtesgadener Land with its Gnotships was annexed to the Kingdom of Bavaria and from 1812 Bischofswiesen became a community . Since the size and structure of the municipality of Bischofswiesen were excluded from the regional reform in Bavaria in the 1970s , Winkl is still a district or a Gnotschaft of the municipality of Bischofswiesen today.
As a result of the Second World War , the Bischofswiesen community took in refugees from the eastern regions of the former German Empire . This changed the composition of the population of Bischofswiesen significantly. In Winkl in particular , numerous expellees, mainly German Bohemians and Silesians , were housed in a barrack camp that had been set up in 1944 and initially served by the Wehrmacht, after 1945 to accommodate German prisoners of war. In 1947, 1,186 people lived in these barracks, and in 1952 even 1,229 people. They formed the foundation stone for a new settlement, which was gradually equipped with a school and 7 teachers for 233 children, a kindergarten with 2 kindergarten teachers for 46 children and a “house of the open door” for young people. On December 3, 1955, Prime Minister Wilhelm Hoegner announced the liquidation of the Winkl camp as part of the camp liquidation program, which made it possible to move into 48 residential units at the Böcklweiher and 22 small and family apartments built by the residential building in Winkl itself by 1958 . After that, the Winkl camp was dissolved and the remaining four large barracks also demolished.

traffic
The B 20 crosses Winkl from north to south and also represents the most important connection of the district to the regional road network.
