Rosenheim
The history of Rosenheim begins in the Roman age. There are different theories about the origin and meaning of the name Rosenheim – nobody could bring a conclusive verifiable proof by now, why the city is named Rosenheim.

The word-for-word nicest theory is that nice girls were called as a “rose” in former times. Already the Inn-skippers knew that there are a lot of beauties which they could admire in the city. Because of that the city which was often headed from skippers, received the name “home of the roses” – therefore Rosenheim.

It suits excellently, that Rosenheim organizes the state garden show from 23.04. to 03.10.2010.
