Bayrischzell

Bayrischzell is located in the Mangfallgebirge between Schliersee in the West and Oberaudorf in the East. It is located at the foot of Wendelstein mountain, at the foot of Sudelfeld and below the Sudelfeld pass. It lies at the northern exit of Ursprungtal. It is 23 km southeast of Miesbach, 25 km northwest of Kufstein, 20 km west of Oberaudorf. In the west of the municipality, near the border with the Schliersee municipality, is the Taubensteinhaus at 1567 meters altitude.
Between 500 and 700 AD clearings were made in the area of today's municipality. In 1076 a hermitage with Margarethe chapel was founded by Haziga, the wife of Palatine Count Otto II. Of Scheyern-Wittelsbach. In 1079 this was converted into a monastery, but by 1085 was moved to Fischbachau. With its proximity to Tyrol, Bayrischzell was the scene of armed conflicts in both the Spanish and Austrian wars of succession and in the Napoleonic Wars and local mountain guard skirmishes with the Tyroleans.
