TRADITION & CUSTOM
GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN
Our region is known for its rich traditions and lively customs. Festivals such as the maypole raising, the Fosnacht or the festival weeks are celebrated here with great joy. Traditional costumes such as lederhosen and dirndls are just as much a part of the cultural heritage as brass band music and Schuhplattler dances. These traditions are deeply rooted in the community and are passed down from generation to generation, so that they still shape life in Garmisch-Partenkirchen today and strengthen cultural togetherness.
