Object history

Deutsch: Das Wappen des Landkreises Garmisch-Partenkirchen wurde am 11. September 1962 vom Staatsministerium des Innern genehmigt und am 20. November 1972 von der Regierung Oberbayern bestätigt. Die bayerischen Rauten stehen für die frühere Landeshoheit der wittelsbachischen Herzöge im Gebiet um Ettal, Ohlstadt und Murnau. Der welfische Greifenlöwe entstammt dem Klosterwappen von Steingaden und weist auf das Dynastengeschlecht hin. Der Freisinger Mohrenkopf versinnbildlicht die vom 13. bis zum Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts andauernde Zugehörigkeit der Grafschaft Werdenfels zum Hochstift Freising.

English: The arms were granted on September 11, 1962 and confirmed on November 20, 1972. The griffin is taken from the arms of the Monastery of Steingaden, which is derived from the arms of the House of Welfs, who had large possessions in the area in the Middle Ages. The moor head is taken from the arms of the Prince-Bishopric of Freising. The bishops aqcuired in the 13th century the County of Werdenfels, which they ruled until 1803. The lower part shows the arms of Bavaria.
