Weilheim in Oberbayern, District capital in southern Bavaria, Germany

Weilheim in Oberbayern stretches across 55 square kilometers of land at 563 meters elevation, housing over 22,000 residents in the Weilheim-Schongau district.

The settlement dates back to Roman times when the Via Raetia road passed through the area, with the first official documentation appearing in 1010.

The Weilheimer sculpture school of the early 1600s produced notable artists Georg Petel and Hans Krumpper, influencing regional art development.

The town maintains direct rail connections to Munich and Garmisch-Partenkirchen through its central station, enabling efficient regional transportation.

On May 3, 1810, a massive fire consumed 120 houses in the upper section of Weilheim, reshaping the town's architectural landscape.
