Rosenheim is a picturesque embodiment of a traditional Bavarian town, located in proximity to Lake Chiemsee, where King Ludwig II erected his interpretation of the Versailles palace, Herrenchiemsee. The town boasts a rich history, having once been a crucial satellite city on the outskirts of Munich, with its wealth being driven by the prosperous salt mines of the region, referred to as ‘white gold’. Founded by the Romans under Tiberius’s reign in 15 BC, it became a strategic location with roads from all directions passing through it. Perched along the banks of River Inn, historically a significant water route, the origins of its name, Rosenheim, meaning ‘home of the Rose’, remain mysterious. It is said that the boatmen of Inn christened it so as it was home to many beauties. The town still echoes its historical charm, reflected in its beautiful landscapes, architecture, and culturally diverse inhabitants who take immense pride in Rosenheim’s Mediterranean flair.
