Upper Bavaria
Upper Bavaria (German: Oberbayern, pronounced [ˈoːbɐˌbaɪ̯ɐn] ⓘ; Bavarian: Oberbayern) is one of the seven administrative regions of Bavaria, Germany.
Upper Bavaria is located in the southern portion of Bavaria, and is centered on the city of Munich, both state capital and seat of the district government. Because of this, it is by far the most populous administrative division in Bavaria. It is subdivided into four planning regions (Planungsverband): Ingolstadt, Munich, Bayerisches Oberland (Bavarian Highland), and Südostoberbayern (South East Upper Bavaria). The name 'Upper Bavaria' refers to the relative position on the Danube and its tributaries: downstream, Upper Bavaria is followed by Lower Bavaria, then Upper Austria, and subsequently Lower Austria. It consists of 20 districts and 500 municipalities (including three cities).
Landkreise (districts):
Kreisfreie Städte (district-free cities):
Historical Population of Upper Bavaria:
The gross domestic product (GDP) of the region was €273.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 8.2% of German economic output. GDP per capita adjusted for purchasing power was €53,900 or 179% of the EU27 average in the same year. The GDP per employee was 134% of the EU average. This makes Upper Bavaria one of the richest regions in Europe.
The region is served by Munich Airport which is also Germany's second-busiest airport after Frankfurt Airport and the eleventh-busiest in Europe, handling 41.6 million passengers in 2024. The airport had been ranked as the 39th-busiest airport worldwide that year.
The duchy of Upper Bavaria was created for the first time with the First Bavarian partition in 1255 under duke Louis II, but there was no exact correlation between this duchy and the current territory. After the reunification in 1340 Bavaria was divided again in 1349, and in 1392 the duchies Bavaria-Munich and Bavaria-Ingolstadt were created in Upper Bavaria. In 1505 Bavaria was permanently reunited. For administrative purposes, Bavaria was split into Rentämter (plural of Rentamt). Upper Bavaria consisted of the Rentamt Munich and Rentamt Burghausen.
