Werdenfelser Land
The Werdenfelser Land is a region of Upper Bavaria that extends from Mittenwald in the south to Farchant. It includes parts of the Bavarian Alps. From the Middle Ages until the Thirty Years' War, the Werdenfelser Land was subject to the Prince-Bishop of Freising, not the Duke of Bavaria. The region derives its name from the medieval Werdenfels Castle north of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The castle acted chiefly to secure the military and trade route that ran through the Loisach valley and linked trading posts in Italy and Upper Bavaria. It is sometimes called the ''Goldener Land'' after the wealth derived in the Middle Ages and Renaissance from the traffic along this ''Rottstraße,'' the main route over the Alps to Augsburg.

The following municipalities also belong to Werdenfelser Land proper: *Farchant *Grainau *Krün *Wallgau *Mittenwald Werdenfelser territory, or at least culture, is also by som ...

Amper
The Amper, called the Ammer upstream of the Ammersee, through which it runs, is the largest tributary of the Isar in southern Bavaria, Germany. It flows generally north-eastward, reaching the Isar in Moosburg, about from its source in the Ammergau Alps, with a flow of 45 m³/s. Including its tributary, Linder, it is long. Major tributaries are the Glonn, which rises near Augsburg; the Würm, which is the outflow of Lake Starnberg; and the Maisach. Etymology The term "Amper" can be derived from the Indo-European root * ombh-," which denotes water or a watercourse. The Celtic name "ambra" was adopted by the Romans and has been attested as genitive ambre and locative amber since the 3rd century. According to another interpretation, Amper is related to the Breton and therefore Celtic word ampart. Accordingly, the river name would stand for the terms skillful, agile and strong. In 1243, the Ammersee was first referred to as the Amirsee and it was not until the 14th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
