Murnau am Staffelsee, Market town in Garmisch-Partenkirchen district, Bavaria, Germany
The municipality extends across 38 square kilometers at an altitude of 688 meters, bordered by natural wetlands and the Staffelsee lake waters.
First documented in 1150, Murnau received its market town rights from Duke Louis V of Bavaria in 1350, establishing its administrative importance.
The municipality gained recognition in the early 1900s when artists Gabriele Münter and Wassily Kandinsky established their residence and creative studios.
The administrative offices provide citizenship services, construction permits, and social assistance through dedicated departments at the town hall building.
The municipal coat of arms displays a green dragon with red tongue and claws on silver background, originating from 14th-century local seals.
