engl. ⁄ ‘Zwischen Bergen und Gehölz liegt meine Heimat Werdenfels’
(‘Between mountains and woods is where my home Werdenfels
lies’) is what it says in an old traditional song. And what lies there is
truly great – it’s Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where sports aficionados,
those looking for relaxation or arts experiences are around all year –
up in the mountains and down in the valley. Life is good here, where
Richard Strauss composed and Michael Ende beheld the end of the
world, where Maria Höfl-Riesch and Felix Neureuther developed
their talent for skiing and where high-end mountain bikers find their
adventures in nature the same as newly-cured health resort patients
who take their new hip joint for a walk on panoramic trails!
After the locals it was mostly summer visitors who discovered this
place in the 19th century, they arrived at the Werdenfelser Land
with the new railway and what they sought was adventure and
inspiration in the mountains.
In the 1920s though, Garmisch-Partenkirchen was a ‘meeting place
for he big-headed from all over the world’ is what it says in Lion
Feuchtwanger’s ‘success’. And indeed – the visitor’s books are quite
a read: Thomas Mann, Kurt Tucholsky and Erich Kästner were but
a few of the illustrious visitors of the dual city that officially became
‘Garmisch-Partenkirchen’ on the occasion of the Winter Olympics of
1936.
After the end of the Second World War it was not only the skiing
pistes but also bob races, ice hockey, figure skating and of course the
world famous New Year’s ski jumping event that magically attracted
visitors. Now Garmisch-Partenkirchen offers its 21st century guests
the entire spectrum – from tradition to high culture and from amateur
to professional sports. Discover the charm of the holiday resort
‘between mountains and woods’ and make the Werdenfelser Land
your second home! 105
