Starnberg, District capital in Bavaria, Germany.

Starnberg extends across 62 square kilometers at the northern end of Lake Starnberg, surrounded by four additional lakes in the region.

The settlement originated in 1226 under the name Aheim am Würmsee, with the castle construction dating back to the 11th century by Counts of Andechs.

The municipality transformed from a modest village into a cultural center, attracting residents who appreciate the combination of lakeside living and urban amenities.

The railway line connecting Starnberg to Munich enables professionals to reside by the lake while maintaining careers in the Bavarian capital.

The district alternates with Hochtaunuskreis for recognition as Germany's most affluent region, reflecting its status as a preferred residential area.
