History

It refers to a location north of Ouiheim settlement. 1244 follows the first mention of " Starnberch Castrum ", a castle that is located at that time in possession of the Counts of Andechs- Meranien. The name is derived from the 1208 Named Knight Wernher Miles de Starnberk, a ministry officials of the Counts of Andechs- Meranien, whose family is said to have sat on the Starnberger castle. After the disempowerment of Andechs- Meranier the castle from 1246 was owned by the Wittelsbach dukes. Today's Star Mountain grew in the 19th century, composed of the two neighboring settlements, which were characterized by very different economic sectors. In the ancient, south of the castle village, whose name changed from Ouiheim about Aham to Achheim fishing was traditionally home. In the northeast of the castle located low - Starnberg ( to today's Tutzinger farm- place) had mainly settled craftsmen and servants of the Munich court after the reconstruction of the castle in a representative castle.

A walk through the town center is reminiscent of the rural origins of Starnberg. Only the heavy traffic - especially on the axis Weilheim street - main street - Münchener Straße ( B2): In the summertime along the lake - disturbs the idyllic ambience. After years of political wrangling, although advocates the majority of councilors for a B2- tunnel ("Official tunnel " ) as a solution of the Starnberger traffic problems - even a bypass ( Westtangente, " OPLA / Redwitz - bypass " ) is under discussion. The latest decision in relation to the B2 tunnel is available. The zoning approval for the tunnel was made ​​known. This decision is available on the website of the government of Upper Bavaria.

Today's " boulevard " and the center of Starnberg, the Maximilian street and the lake arcades have emerged from the " Hotel Walter at the station ", which housed many guests until 1915. This later known as Gresbek house was acquired by Vincent Gresbek and inhabited for a long time. 1985 opted for the demolition of the historic house. For nearly a decade then found himself right at Starnberg station a fenced lawn, a useless vacant lot directly on the access to the lake Starnberg. Today there are at this point the modern and exclusive lake -inspired arcade.

Starnberg is located on the main road 2 which was replaced between Munich and Starnberg by a highway (change to the B 2 at the end of the Starnberger Federal Highway 952, which branches from the Federal Highway 95 from Munich to Garmisch -Partenkirchen ). Because all of the traffic runs on the western shore of the lake and in the district of Weilheim -Schongau by Starnberg, the volume of traffic through the city is high. The situation on the main road is exacerbated by the fact that almost all intra starnberger traffic is fixed on the main road and be alternative routes in place by traffic calming and other measures either installed or unattractive.

Rail traffic

However, the city was thus cut off from the urban water. For construction point of the marshy shore area was owned by the state and therefore could be built after draining without expensive acquisition of already allocated land. The urban impact of this decision was only decades later significantly.
