Markt Murnau a. Staffelsee

What Markt Murnau a. Staffelsee does

Markt Murnau a. Staffelsee is a Bavarian municipal government (Marktgemeinde) headquartered in Murnau am Staffelsee, within the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Upper Bavaria. The municipality administers a 38.05 km² area serving approximately 11,000 residents, providing statutory local services including resident registration, building permits, tax collection, social services, family support, senior care, waste management, cultural facilities, and emergency services. Governance is led by Erster Bürgermeister Rolf Beuting (in his third term since May 2026), supported by Zweiter Bürgermeister Josef Bierling and Dritte Bürgermeisterin Miriam Khalil.

The municipality's digital service portfolio centers on the Murnau App (mobile citizen communication platform with push notifications), the Online Rathaus (digital service portal for forms and electronic communication), and the Murnauer Marktbote (digital newsletter distributed since 2008). Traditional services are delivered through multiple physical offices across the town hall (Untermarkt 13), Bauamt (Schloßbergstraße 10), Bauhof (Viehmarktplatz 1a), and cemetery administration. Public facilities include Kindertagesstätte Drachennest, Kinderkrippe Kleine Drachen (36 places, assumed January 2026), the Gemeindebücherei (40,000+ media items), the Kultur- und Tagungszentrum, the Schloßmuseum, and the volunteer fire department (founded 1875). The wholly-owned subsidiary Gemeindewerke Murnau operates utilities including water, wastewater, energy, district heating, waste management, and parking.

Revenue is generated through statutory taxes (Grundsteuer, Gewerbesteuer, Hundesteuer, Zweitwohnungssteuer, Fremdenverkehrsbeitrag) and service fees, with detailed budget figures published in visualized Haushaltsplan documents. The economic base is anchored in the municipality's identity as a service and health hub within the Blaues Land region, with cultural heritage tied to the Blauer Reiter artists, tourism activity, and the Innovationsquartier commercial area developed on the former Kemmel-Kaserne site. Distribution relies on the official website, mobile app, social media (Facebook, Instagram), and the digital newsletter, complemented by an in-person town hall and a network of community facilities.
