Gauting

Gauting is a municipality in the Starnberg district that stretches along the Würm River and encompasses several neighborhoods including Stockdorf, Buchendorf, and Unterbrunn. The terrain is hilly and sits at roughly 564 meters above sea level.

Archaeological evidence reveals that the area was inhabited during Roman times, when it was called Bratananium. The location lay on the Via Julia, a major trade route connecting Augsburg and Salzburg.

The place is known for its baseball tradition, with the Gauting Indians competing at the highest level of German baseball and holding a special place in local identity. This sports heritage regularly draws fans and shapes community life.

The municipality has two railway stations on the S6 line of the Munich S-Bahn, providing regular connections to Munich. This makes it easy to reach the city or explore the surrounding area from here.

The Stockdorf neighborhood contains cairns from the Bronze Age and Hallstatt culture, providing evidence of very early human settlements. Excavated artifacts including bronze bowls and iron weapons demonstrate the age of these settlements.
