Culture and History

Penzberg is a town in the Bavarian district of Weilheim-Schongau and lies at an elevation of 596 metres above sea level.

The present-day town centre developed from a miners’ settlement known as the Penzberg Colony. It consisted of characteristic miners’ houses, only a few of which have survived on Karlstraße and the upper part of Friedrich-Ebert-Straße.

The Tutzing–Penzberg railway line was commissioned in 1865 and supported the transport of coal towards Munich. For travellers interested in Penzberg’s transport history, this development is a specific aspect of the town.

Penzberg’s mining history included the founding of the miners’ chapel and a shooting club in 1874.

Penzberg’s population history reflects migration from Bohemia, Croatia, South Tyrol, Lombardy and Upper Austria, alongside the settlement of craftsmen and merchants.
