Uffing am Staffelsee (officially, Uffing a.Staffelsee; Bavarian: Uffing am Staffesee) is a municipality in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in Bavaria, Germany. It consists of the two villages of Uffing and Schöffau and is located on Staffelsee, the warmest lake in Germany.[citation needed] The River Ach flows through Uffing.

Names

[edit]

The name Uffing derives from the personal name Uffo and the possessive suffix -ing.[3] Other attested historical forms of the name include Vfinga, Uffingen and Üffing.[3]

Transport

[edit]

The town can be reached by car or by train (Deutsche Bahn). Uffing has its own station on the Munich–Garmisch-Partenkirchen line. The nearest international airport is Munich International Airport.

Economy

[edit]

Uffing benefits from several shops including a bakery (Mayer-Nett), pharmacy, supermarket (Edeka), butcher, and Frau Bauer's drugstore.

Culture

[edit]

The parish church is dedicated to St Agatha (German: Agathe).

Uffing is home to Europe's only gay Schuhplattler group.[4]

The annual Seefest ("Lake Festival"), held in the first week of August (weather permitting), is a celebration of local music, dancing, and customs. The event is usually rounded off with a firework display.
