At 2962 meters, the Zugspitze is Germany's highest mountain. Its panoramic summit attracts many visitors from all over the world every year.
The first climbers of the Zugspitze are considered to be the surveyor and then lieutenant of the Bavarian army Josef Naus, his measuring assistant Maier and the mountain guide Johann Georg Tauschl. Their ascent, the first recorded by name, happened on August 27, 1820. There is also the suggestion that the summit was already conquered by people around 1770.
