Geretsried, Urban municipality in Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district, Germany.
Geretsried sits at 605 meters elevation along the Isar River, surrounded by ancient woodlands near the Bavarian Alps and Lake Starnberg.
The municipality emerged after World War II when former munitions factory buildings were converted to accommodate German refugees from Eastern Europe.
The buildings throughout the town display Lüftlmalerei, a traditional Bavarian mural art technique that decorates walls with Alpine landscape scenes.
Regional buses connect Geretsried to Wolfratshausen and Bad Tölz, while an extension of Munich's S-Bahn line S7 is under development.
The town's coat of arms combines three elements: a cogwheel for industry, the Isar River, and a conifer representing the local forests.
