St.Anna on WAMBERG, Garmisch-Partenkirchen in GERMANY.


The church, which lies at an altitude of about 1,000 meter (3280ft), is dedicated to St.Ann, the mother of Mary, Work on the current church began 1721 and was finished in 1722. The church, which belongs to the Parish of Partenkirchen, was erected on the site of a former church building.
The Church altar is attributed to sculptor Andres Onich, a Wamberg native who did most of his work in Prague, Czech republic.


The Church was built on the initiative of the citizens of Wamberg.

That’s where you’ll find Wamberg, one of the highest-located church villages of Germany with only about 20 inhabitants as of now. Up there, time seems to have stopped. Traditional rustic architecture and nature wherever you look. Soothing peace and quiet surrounds you and the view of the Wetterstein mountain range with the Alpspitze and Zugspitze mountains is simply breathtaking. In summer and in winter, the quaint village with plenty of Bavarian charm is a great place to relax.

The farms from the 18th and 19th century underline the traditional character of the village. The church of St. Anna with its art-historically important high altar – a work of sculptor Andreas Onich – is well worth a visit, too. The high altar piece shows a rendition of the popular subject of “Virgin and Child with Saint Anne” – a Christian iconography of Saint Anne, her daughter Mary and her grandson Jesus.
