Discover Traubing

In Traubing, a year-round Saturday market, historical themes surrounding the church and the town’s name, and tours with varying route details come together. When planning, you can decide how to balance a market visit, local history and outdoor activities. Specific details about distance, duration and route help you compare the available tours.

Weekly Market and Local History

The Traubing weekly market takes place year-round on Saturdays in the forecourt of the property at Weilheimer Straße 8 (parcel numbers 92 and 92/1, cadastral district of Traubing). If your stay falls on a Saturday, this regular event can help shape your day’s plans.

Beneath the ground in the area of Traubing’s Catholic parish church of St. Mariä Geburt and its predecessor building are archaeological remains from the late Middle Ages and the early modern period. Traubing was first mentioned in 1005 as “Trupinga” in a document from Benediktbeuren. This places the earliest written mention of the town’s name alongside archaeological evidence from two later periods. The Traubing brass band also makes an important contribution to the town’s cultural life.
