Richard-Strauss-Institut
In 1908, the famous composer Richard Strauss had a villa built in Garmisch-Partenkirchen as his summer residence. From here, he embarked on concert tours to the surrounding artistic metropolises. Many of his famous works were composed in the "Villa Strauss". Until his death in 1949, the place in Upper Bavaria was considered his home. Today, the villa is privately owned by the composer's descendants and is not open to the public.
