Traunreut, Urban municipality in Traunstein district, Bavaria, Germany.
Traunreut is an urban municipality in the Traunstein district of Bavaria, situated between Munich and Salzburg at an elevation of 552 meters. The town blends residential neighborhoods, industrial zones, and open spaces that reflect its character as a modern manufacturing center.
The town emerged in 1950 from a former ordnance factory site and received official town status in 1960. Growth came from the settlement of displaced populations from Central and Eastern Europe after World War II.
The annual Christkindlmarkt and Kirta festival bring the community together with local merchants and seasonal celebrations. These events shape the town's character and draw visitors who want to experience Bavarian traditions.
The town is easily accessible via the A8 highway and has good local public transport connections. The relatively flat to gently rolling terrain makes it easy to explore by bicycle.
The town is a rare example of a modern industrial city that was built from scratch on a former military production site. This creates a distinctive urban layout different from cities with centuries of gradual development.
