Garmisch-Partenkirchen Travel Guide — Things to Do, Food & Hotels

About Garmisch-Partenkirchen

Garmisch-Partenkirchen was founded by uniting the two towns of Garmisch and Partenkirchen by a decree of Adolf Hitler to bring the 1936 Winter Olympics to Germany. The International Olympic Committee was going to pass over Germany as the host, because there were not enough hotel rooms in the host town, so Hitler forced the unification of Garmisch and Partenkirchen to create a larger town, which would be more appealing to the IOC. Garmisch-Partenkirchen is home to a large US military base.
