Traunstein, Administrative district in southeastern Bavaria, Germany.
The Traunstein district covers 1,533 square kilometers of land between Munich and Salzburg, incorporating the northern foothills of the Alps and Lake Chiemsee.
The district of Traunstein emerged in 1972 through the consolidation of the former Laufen district and the independent urban district of Traunstein.
The district's coat of arms displays a blue panther representing the Counts of Krainburg-Ortenburg and an eagle symbolizing the diocese of Chiemsee.
The district encompasses several major towns including Tittmoning, Traunreut, Traunstein, Trostberg, and Waging am See, serving as a center for local administration and services.
The region maintains strong connections to salt production history, with former saltworks locations transformed for different purposes after operations ceased in 1912.
