View of Roseninsel from Glockensteg

In 1860, King Maximilian II wanted to build a palace on the site (now Feldafinger Park) as a summer residence on the bank opposite Rose Island. After the unexpected death of the regent, the garden that Peter Joseph Lenné had planned, the most important garden architect of the time, ran wild.

What is probably not so well known: Remains of stilt houses, stone coffins, flint weapons, pottery, Roman coins and jewelery were also found here.

In the 7th century, a Carolingian tufa church was built on the island. The west wall and the foundations are still preserved.

From 1545, the island changed a few times the owner and was always private property. Until 1978, the Free State of Bavaria acquired the neglected Roseninsel for 800,000 DM from the Wittelsbacher Ausgleichsfonds and made it accessible to the public again.

And Roseninsel is the only island in Lake Starnberg.
